The passing has been atrocious tonight. Everyone taking two or three touches and then over hitting, under hitting or passing the ball behind a run. First touch from some players has been appalling as well. We look cumbersome and lethargic.

That Chilwell is garbage. I’ve never seen Rice play as badly as this either. Just an all round poor display.

By the way, is it just me who has to repress the urge to call them "The Ukraine"?

First touch from some players has been appalling as well. We look cumbersome and lethargic. It has been poor but I believe the condition of the surface is atrocious. It’s got more patch marks than the pitches at dimensions, the amount of bobbles causing poor first touches is shocking. We have looked slow but I think the set up is completely wrong for a team looking to sit in. Very Stokelike actually.

Same for both sides.

To be fair to Southgate, he's more or less gone for the team I suggested towards the end of the first half and it's achieved nothing so far. If I'd missed the sub I wouldn't know Foden was on.

Like Southgate himself a boring defence fest. Plus keeping Henderson on to prove he is right even though hes wrong....

Same for both sides. Bollocks, the quality of football of old was shite too, so it is irrelevant. Pretty simply, the surfaces these players are used to playing on will be quality, the change will of course mess with their game. It is the same for both sides but Ukraine aren’t here to play much football so it’s better for them, it’s not an excuse, it’s just the game plans of the teams.

Subs made us worse, Rashford useless when came on and Foden didn't touch the ball for about 15 minutes.

Rashford again, dear oh dear. Such a frustrating player he is. Either 10/10 or 1/10.

LGBT and Middle East issues aside. That Southgate thinks Henderson should be staying on for 90 minutes and he’s taking off players who are 10x the player he is these days, shows exactly why he’s going to waste some of the best players we’ve produced in the last 50 years.
Bellingham is a phenomenal player who is ripping it up at Real Madrid, but he takes him off instead of Henderson who’s gone off to a shite league as he’s past it…

Okay Mr. Klopp- you are right, how can quality players be expected to perform if the grass is too long?😂😂😂

He didn’t look interested at all in those last ten and he’d only been on a short time. 93rd minute Chilwell rolls him the ball, he takes a touch and rolls it back - then turns his back and walks off, not showing for it. Poor.
