The OFFICIAL Womens World Cup Thread

The odd occasion one of the front three do get on the ball and run with it we look quite good. Fara Williams is excellent but Moore and Chapman next to her have been poor, all the offer is running.

Bring Aluko and Nobbs on for Chapman and Moore.

It does strike me as an English mentality towards big tournament games and trying to find a way to be the underdog.

I really think it is. And it needs a brave manager to break the mould. The likes of Hodgson, Southgate, Sampson aren't exactly inspiring us.
 
At least the pundits agree that was a pile of crap in the first half, as has been said to much worrying about the opposition. Hate saying it but it's a typical England performance in the business part of a tournament.

None of those 3 have it in them to let a side constantly have freedom and express themselves. Like you said we are more concerned with Norway and not what we can actually do, obviously you can't just ignore the opposition but you have to be on control of your game.

I think this is the problem. The conservative nature of appointing England coaches across any level is killing any chance we have of winning a tournament. Capello, Eriksen, Pearce, Taylor, Boothroyd every single one of them negative, yet we have the most dynamic of top divisions to bring our players up in.

I wonder if it's a stuffed shirt problem we have not a coaching problem.
 
I wonder the same. We can have all the talent we want (and I do think we have some talented footballer, men and women) but if the manager stifles them how can we truly know where we stand?
 
That's fucking awful, good delivery but far too easy.
 
Some bright sparks on England bench making a sub just before a corner.
 
Needless and negative substitution and a goal conceded to boot. Bloody hell.
 
Scott, a centre midfield, on for Kirby, an attacker at a point when England need support and players around the lone forward. It's nonsense. Baffling stuff.
 
A catalogue of errors. A needless corner given away, then making a substitution , and players switching off. England have it all to do now.
 
Hoofing it long for a line forward competing with 2 tall centre halves didn't look close to working against France so quite why they're doing that now is beyond me.

It's like we've totally abandoned the methods we used to positive effect in the last 2 games.

So negative it's untrue. It's almost like we have been playing for extra time from the first whistle.
 
Excellent - now bloody well go for it!!!
 
Where has that come from? Great header to equalise. Now how about we actually get on the front foot and look to win this game.
 
Totally out the blue but now is the time to kick on.
