Euro 2016: Slovakia 0-0 England - 5 talking points

4) England’s attackers lack the finishing touch

Jamie Vardy was not effective in attack for England

Before the match, England had struck a total of 21 more shots than their opponents from their first two matches combined (12 more shots against Wales and 9 more against Russia), and had scored just one more goal. In this match, they struck 29 shots, as compared to Slovakia’s 4, and still were not able to break the deadlock.

While the Slovakia defence should be given the credit they deserve, English strikers need to sharpen up their finishing skills as the tournament enters into the next round.
