  3. 'England lacking creativity'published at 21:21 British Summer Time 8 September 2018

    Spain are managing the game. They've come off the pace but they're still in control and if they wanted to go through the gears again they can.

    England lack so much creativity. We have a lot of honest players who work hard but, eventually, you have to give it to a player that is going to make the difference.

    We don't have that. We don't have that difference.

    Matthew Harris: The sheer glee of England fans that we're losing again. Didn't know what to do with themselves during the World Cup.

    England 1-2 Spain

    England threaten through Dele Alli's clever run in behind, flicking a pass back to Jesse Lingard.

    But Spain get their red shirts back into position and Marcus Rashford's deflected shot lacks power, causing few problems for Manchester United team-mate David de Gea in the Spain goal.

    England have a huge youth talent pool so these kind of games are exactly what we need to get the players tested at the top international level. Over time it'll reap rewards.

    Sergio Ramos, always awake, always alert.

    England try to slip in Marcus Rashford down the right flank, but in comes the Spain captain with a perfectly timed, sliding challenge to avert the danger.

    Class.

    A little bit more encouraging for England as they manage to put a few passes together. Spain have dropped the pace.

    England have created nothing in this second half.

    They need a spark from somewhere.

    Who can provide it?

    Waheeeey.

    England clear a free-kick which drops to Isco 30 yards out.

    The home crowd enjoyed that one.

    Brilliant challenge by John Stones, coming across Rodrigo and getting the ball cleanly.

    First chance of the game for Harry Kane, picked out by Kieran Trippier's chipped pass but the Tottenham man screws a shot wide.

    He was offside anyway, wouldn't have counted.

    Kane has barely had a sniff.

    England's fans are trying to rouse their side but the atmosphere is understandably subdued after the incident involving Luke Shaw.

    Once Spain got on level terms they have been on a level above England. Something needs to change here.
