Sadly you are. From poor free kicks, poor corners he has not been good in the 1 1/2 games he's played. No one is saying he's a bad player it's just not working for him this tournament as yet.

I think it's more his support around making him look bad. Aside from the free-kicks and corners he hasn't done well, he's badly had opportunities... ones that instead fell to Lallana and Sterling who both fluffed them

Vardy and Sturridge have added a bit of bustle but nothing else.
Wales came for the draw, they're getting it.

I'm sorry but for a team with so much talent, England are remarkably shit. Major tournaments are where coaching and heart matters. I think England has some heart out there but they do not have the coaching. Woy gets results outside of tournament play but lays an egg in tournament play when it really matters.

For all this talk of Vardy and Sturridge elevating our play they've actually done very little. Vardy got a tap-in from a position that would have been considered way offside if not for Williams touch. Other than that I've barely noticed him. Sturridge has seen more of the ball as Vardy's presence has granted him the license to roam that Kane was denied. However, what he's done with it so far has been mostly bog-standard.

There's not really been a huge gulf in difference between the first and second half performances. We've had more territory due to Wales dropping deeper on account of nervousness but how many clear-cut chances have been created?
