AD has had next to zero service the last 20 minutes. 

[jonovision]

Hutchinson again.

[A.D.I.D.A.S.]

Come on guys! COME. ON. WTF.

[narduch]

Fuck

[canuckgbp]

Sliced and diced.

They're playing great. Croatia is the best side in the group by miles

[The Real Marc]

Well

[king1010]

Our mid is getting crushed

[Jack1997]

Hutchinson must come off.

[scullion44]

Hutchinson can’t keep up

[rydermike]

Hutch has no legs. There's no time for being loyal, he should've never started. Cap 100 could've waited

[DoyleG]

Ah Shite

It's either him or Kone. I don't blame Herdman but you have to make the switch now.

[Hawkguy]

The last two games show us exactly the problem we have. We are so weak in the midfield and backfield aside from Eustaquio. Johnston is very good, but not battle tested against this quality. 

[toontownman]

The Larin gamble worked to begin but has hamstrung us since.

Atiba and Larin need to come off I think 

[VinceA]

Couple of things.

 

Herdman's gambled with a double pivot worked off early but now it's a liability because Atiba is way too slow and we're getting run over in midfield. 

Borjan should probably retire from the NT after this tournament.

David has been fucking pylon all game and is proving everyone who doubts his ability against the best.

David keeps getting hammered from behind. No calls.

[Floortom]

David is getting absolutely bossed...terrible first half from him

The team waits around for a call while Croatia speeds ahead 

[king1010]

Man. Hutch needs to come off. Looks slow motion

The recovery runs were ok but he's getting brutalized. This ref has been iffy to be sure.

[Ansem]

😢

Change of tactics and personnel is needed

[Dominic94]

Hutch does not have the speed for this game, and the Croatian midfield is top class.

 

this game needs Kone and Cornelius.

[VinceA]

Osorio needs to enter into a midfield. 

 

Herdman thinking a 2 man midfield which worked against CONCACAF would also work against fucking Croatia is mind boggling

We've always been at our best with a 3-5-2.

[sonic_fcpf]

We need to control better the tempo of the game.....we need mor players like Eustaquio....cannot be always a rush up  and down...
