Ex- Chelsea midfielder Jody Morris (@ morriskid) isn’t impressed by
England’s tactical set-up: “England
getting popped.. pressing is all over the gaff!! Individually rather than as a team.”
World Cup finalist Dietmar Hamann (@ DietmarHamann) feels the hosts are distinctively average: “Chile look a very good side. Ball retention outstanding. England very average.”

Lallana and Jack Wilshere after a poor first half: “Lallana & Wilshire been our bright sparks in first half…”

side’s weaknesses are already well-
documneted: “Not particularly inspiring, but I wouldn’t read too much into it. England have their limitations, but we already knew that.”

Kevin__Davies) reckons there are
positions up for grabs down both

much picked for WC, places up for grabs down both flanks.”
