Tamworthram Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 Comfortably second best for most of the first half. Need an improvement after the break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mucker1884 Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 HT: 0-1 Spain end the half looking the better side overall, but there is no way England are beaten yet. We are making chances at least. And don't know anywhere near enough about these ladies to suggest we will/can overturn this, but hey, I guess they didn't get to where they are today by giving up and failing to achieve their target! #stillinit, couldwinit RadioactiveWaste and Tamworthram 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadioactiveWaste Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 Yes Spain are dominating possession but England are creating danger and chances as well. I very much doubt this is finishing one nil. James on on 65 minutes is my guess. Mucker1884 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StaffsRam Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 Spain were the better team in the first half and a 1-0 lead at HT certainly doesn't flatter them. A big team-talk needed at HT and a (much) better performance needed otherwise I can't see anything other than a Spain win. Spain looked far more likely to add a second than we did of equalizing.

Anon Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 I don't have any issue with Bronze for the goal. Sometimes you have to be positive and step out with the ball to create space, especially when Spain's press has been so effective. Bronze is pretty high up the pitch when she loses possession, there's plenty of time for England to recover, but they don't react and reorganize quickly enough. A midfielder should've dropped into the vacated position and Russo should've been aware of the potential overlap. RoyMac5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Srg Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 Not been great. Giving the ball away too easily when we try and counter because of a lack of pace going forward. Selling ourselves a bit easily in defence and not pressing effectively enough. Lauren James redemption? SKRam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comrade 86 Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 We're blowing some really good chances here. Hope it's not a case of what could have been as we've created the better chances for all that Spain have had more of the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mucker1884 Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 We're ever-so-slowly upping the pressure, without being clinical enough to achieve anything of note. I think we're at that stage where the experts spout off about "Remaining patient"? Tamworthram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
