That's all on Walker imo. Sancho switched sides with Sterling 5 mins ago and immediately left an impression as there's actually players drawing opponents or being in pass range.

But he's done it from the left too and met with a big ass crater in the middle instead of a one-two

Team just keen to not get tired rather than get another goal. I kinda get it but kinda don't

England have had good moments and not sitting back or playing shite at all. Just trying to manage game a bit more and cant blame them when see how chaotic other top teams have been.

More of ball, more chances, more attacks etc. Not by much but not sitting defending.

He has only played on the left since 5 minutes but looked immediately more involved now since he isn't practically the only forward working on that wing. Whereas on the right side practically all he did was receive the ball, get closed down and backpass because Walker couldnt be arsed to overlap.

I dont want to be disrespectful to the opponent, but lets not forget they are playing Ukraine here.
They are doing the bare minimum.

Sitting and waiting, yeah, pretty much Jammy

If Ukraine don't do anything, fair enough. Several openings there as it is. See if 'managing the game' backfires. I certainly look forward to it

Yeah I didn't disagree. Just felt sad for the guy, has too progressive a style for what the team clearly been told to do. Might even get subbed if he tries too hard against the approach

They are not at home and Ukraine have been decent enough to be fair to them.

Plenty bigger teams have struggled against teams expected to beat this tournament.

Nah more of ball, more attacks and better chances been for England but can see they have emphasis on trying to control game as well with the two DMs.

Probably due to how chaotic some of other games have been.

Ukraine been better than I thought they would be though and still in it clearly. There has been almost no games this tournament team have dominated and won easily. Particularly in knock outs.
