This game and the Finland game really demonstrating how important Joe Bell is to our side.
Also please stop lobbing it in to Wood, play those quick passes and through balls like we do without him, that’s his bread and butter in the PL anyway
Joe B is a whole level above Rufer these days. Bell and Stamenic also seems to work well as a combo
Bell also dictates play well, he's thinking ahead of most.

Lol, where was Surman going? Too easy at this point
I have an amazing ability to find my way out of mazes. I'm pathological.

The cultural architect needs to have some strong words to sort that defensive line out.
Ouch the defending is bad, the communication seems poor. Boxy and Surman in the same space leaving their guy unmarked
The Chile game a very false dawn but we are better than this

At least this will force us to play higher and press higher, compress the midfield a bit.

May as well sub Baze and Smith on. We couldn't do any worse at the back. At least Baze can play LB from memory.

Looking at the Haiti team, they got players playing in teams like Ferencváros, Auxerre, Dallas and theyre jusyt on the bench, we would kill to have players playing in those leagues, we got Braintree Town instead :D

We've used too many subs here. We should be focusing on our best 15 not the whole team minus Smith (why is he there again?)

A lot like Tunisia, have access to a lot of players born and bred playing in the French system - they're probably a lot better than their ranking suggests. The AW's on the other hand....

FDV needs to be sent home, not up to this lvl, and god it pains me to say this but maybe woud needs a chance in goal as the other 2 have not looked up to it.

Two in the midfield doesn’t work huh…or perhaps little works without Bell?
I think this game cements Baze’s plans of a conservative Bell-Stamenic-Thomas trio
Also we were so so much better with Libby out there. Nuts to whoever suggested he shouldn’t start.
Old’s pace also needed if just as a defensive sub when our players tire and it starts to open up
Sadly FDV’s great crossing is not enough to mitigate the other huge problems he has at this level
It ain’t all lost just yet. We could still nick a 1-1 or even 1-0 against Iran or Egypt

That attack scored more goals then this lot. Smeltz, Rory and Killen better overall then Wood, Waine and Barbs.
