Just caught up with this thread and have to say I don't think we're doing too bad, Belgium are a bloody good side, they scored early but since then Pickford has had one serious save to make, I like Loftus Cheek much stronger on the ball than others. The changes at half time have helped I think, our biggest problem is our movement up front.

If we're relying on set pieces to win, then it's going to cost us again if we don't win the ball because Belgium are slicing through us like the proverbial hot knife through butter.

He's miles off the pace, he can't be fully fit.

Yup. We seem bereft of ideas.

Was thinking that same.

He looks lethargic and not at all sharp.

Bet we find out afterwards that he has been carrying an injury.

That would just be an excuse though, if he has injured he shouldn't have played the last few games where he has been anonymous

I've no idea. But he doesn't look anywhere near fully fit to me.

If it's a 75% Kane or a full fit Vardy I know what my choice would be.

It is. Much more encouraging.

Did mention in the first half that I didn't think Belgium could keep up that pace.

Telling on them now I think.

Surely that had to be a free kick? Awful decision.

Why doesn't Loftus-Cheek bloody shoot????

Seems a real reluctance from him. So frustrating.
