They're cutting through us, and we are starting to look tired, they're a very good side.

No outlet being offered by the front four, so we are constantly on the back foot.

They are still a very good side Croatia and we’re starting a transitional phase. So much negativity especially over on Twitter tonight.

Yeah, a bit harsh, although a move or passage of play of some note (from us) would be encouraging.

Croatia are very good.
We aren't.

It seems you need a degree of basic skills to put a passing move together. Of course the opposition are good but much of this is self inflicted.

Nah, we can't get on the ball, front players can run all day and attempt to create space a angles, if we can't get on it then it aint going to happen.

Just not good enough, can't cope with Croatia's pace in possession, which is killing us. Croatia haven't even got out of 2nd gear, they're committing one man into an advanced position from midfield when attacking or going all traditional and using width. Piece of ****ing piss for them!

Arguably our two best players are missing and how many of the selected team are starting for their clubs every week? Ampadu and maybe Morrell - can’t think of anyone else who is. I think we’ve got to be realistic about our team, I’m just hoping for a win on Tuesday.

Croatia are playing a different sport from us.
Reminds me of the world cup.

They're just much better in every department. We have to be careful, because we are starting to look tired out there.

I was expecting Ramsey to be the link player but it's just not happening. As mentioned, James, Wilson & Moore haven't seen much action lately. 1-0 down at H-T has exceeded my expectations.

Yup, can't argue with that.

Yeah, this could end up very messy if Croatia keep on going as they were for the ten minutes before half time.

Should be 2-0

Croatia are certainly masters of the dark arts as well as being a good footballing team.

Dominating possession this half.
