Silva and Asensio have been present only as meatbags.

Iniesta and Aspas could be early substitutions.

I expected more speed from the russian team (no Cherysev in the starting 11?), but fair to them, they've sticked to the balls to big guy strategy which could work equally fine.

Well done Russia. They have been really organised & remained compact even after going 1-0 down. Also shows you Spain’s passing hasn’t been effective at all. Despite having so much of the ball, Spain haven’t created much at all

They’re waiting to die. If this Spain team plays with the intensity, spark and invention it can, it would only be a matter of time. Russia are being helped by a poor showing from Spain.

Why not try and go for the game and hit Spain when they’re at their weakest? Spain have a history of scoring late since Aragonés and it wouldn’t be surprising to see that happen again.

Russia as far as I’m concerned have no way of scoring other than a set piece.

Though i can see Russian's losing their places in frustation with Spain having so much of the ball 

Seems to happen a lot. Teams playing possession ball but not doing much with it. Other team counters with much better opportunities.

Spain have been very bad but Russia haven’t been good either.

Russia haven't got good enough players to set up in a way that won't see them beaten here. They've stopped Spain creating nearly anything in fairness. It's made for a very bland game though.
