Come on England!

Shame that the Arsenal player to score had to be on the Spanish side.

@DuncinToffee England are just not accurate in front of goal or distributing the ball. They didn’t tackle the Spanish players or challenge for the header well enough. We are inaccurate and keep losing the ball. It’s worrying but predictable. We are going to see a cricket scorecard this rate.

She was. Free header basically. Hard to be angry with her as long if she brings that form to Arsenal.

So much for positivity @TizerorFizz 😂

Several of the more prolific Arsenal goal scorers not on the pitch...

@DuncinToffee I’m pragmatic! It’s glaringly obvious we aren’t great at the moment and I’m not deluded! Spain might make mistakes of course but we are hemmed in defending and way too casual. We look like we are 4 up. It’s not great. No - not optimistic but I really hope England win. We will not win on hype and wishful thinking though! Why do you think they are losing yet again?

England needs a shake up. Some of them are looking a bit lost and tired.

James off, Kelly on

My earlier concern has been realised-Lauren has been a shadow of herself.

Glad to see Chloe Kelly on!!

It's alright @TizerorFizz , I know what you mean

Not sure why she started. She was trying but you could tell she werent fully in it.

Already livelier with Kelly on yes I am biassed

I would have loved her back at Everton but she wanted European football.

Definitely looking like they're moving around the pitch more evenly with Kelly.

Russoooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!

Fucking booyah!!!!

Much better!!! Goal!

GET IN!!!!!!!

YYYYESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

@LadyShimura Lauren James was shirking everything. Not her fault but poor selection. Why not play who is on form? Manager is too loyal. More defending to come I expect!

It was a strange choice by Sarina. Lauren was definitely struggling early on.

At least she was forced into an early sub

We need Agyemang on soon.

Who would you take off?
