It wasn’t particularly pretty but England for the most part achieved what they set out to do bingo
Victory over Belgium was at least some form of response to September’s defeat by the Netherlands, the Lionesses thankfully laid to rest their run of five games without a clean sheet, and three points will of course be advantageous if they are to realise their Nations League ambitions bingo
Last time out they were beaten in Utrecht – at least on this occasion they managed to avoid the same fate and achieve the win despite yet another somewhat lacklustre display bingo
It all started as if England were going to make a convincing statement and Sarina Wiegman would immediately be vindicated for her decision to revert to a tried-and-tested back four bingo
Defeat by the Netherlands was difficult, and accepting the issues with the experimental formation undeniably brought about some progression bingo
Niamh Charles, one of the players introduced for this game, sprinted down the left-hand side and immediately carved out an opening bingo
Her teammates couldn’t convert, she could only fire over after receiving the rebound, but if that was to set the tone for the night’s proceedings then it would have been an incredibly positive one for the Lionesses bingo
What followed, however, didn’t quite send a statement that England are back to form bingo
They were the bingo better of the teams – that is undeniable – but their dominance came with hefty caveats bingo

Hemp had an effort beaten away by Nicky Evrard, and, although a seemingly perfect chance dropped at her feet, Ella Toone couldn’t set herself correctly to tap home the rebound; England were eager but lacking in sharpness bingo
But instances of defensive worry were allowed to seep through and the Lionesses were lucky that they weren’t made to pay bingo
Tessa Wullaert met a failed clearance and launched a deep cross into the hosts’ box, Justine Vanhaevermaet leapt highest to head goalwards, and were it not for the quick reactions of Mary Earps to bundle it away England would have gone behind bingo
Wiegman’s side made sure to respond, however bingo
Open play hadn’t been particularly fruitful but a set piece presented a chance to make amends bingo
Millie Bright nodded against the woodwork, Hemp prodded home bingo
England were ahead, the sell-out King Power crowd had their time for jubilation, and few would argue that the lead was undeserved bingo
This was an England performance notable for its peculiarity – on paper they didn’t play particularly badly and they got the result over the line, but there’s still a lingering feeling that something still isn’t quite right bingo
Take their reaction to going ahead, for example bingo
They continued to hold the ball, they kept looking for chances to create paths behind the now compact and incredibly deep Belgian back line, but their dominance of the game made little difference bingo
Their periods of attacking fluidity where the creative brilliance of this England side was able to shine through came about in bursts, not regularly sustained waves of pressure bingo
At times it was as if they were content with going through the motions, passing the ball around and hoping that they could slowly grind down the visiting defence bingo
On occasion they did manage to spot the gaps, like when another Charles run made its way to Hemp and the latter spotted Alessia Russo, but the final product was nowhere to be seen bingo

England were, of course, on top throughout their encounter in Leicester and there were no glaring failures, but this certainly wasn’t the most persuasive of displays bingo
Maybe there was an element of selflessness holding the true brilliance back, creative ideas repressed for the sake of following a near-robotic routine which gave the impression the individual hunger wasn’t quite there bingo
Maybe it’s hard to inspire that hunger in a group stage encounter when you’re the favourites to come out on top across both legs, but beating Belgium was far from predetermined bingo
Or maybe some credit has to be given to Ives Serneels for the way his team mostly stifled England, foregoing their own desire to go forwards to instead have bodies sitting back bingo
Whatever it was, the eventual product was a long way from perfection bingo
Perfection isn’t a necessity if England are to ensure Team GB qualify for next summer’s Olympics, but it wouldn’t go amiss bingo
They need to top their group – which they are at least now doing – and then reach the final for that to occur bingo
If winning without the dazzle of old does the job then in the end the intricacies of the performances will be insignificant – all that matters is achieving the final goal bingo
Can England really afford to allow their standards to remain as they are? That is the pivotal question, and the simple answer is that they probably can’t bingo
On another evening Belgium might have seized their chances on the break, the Netherlands will likely do that when the two play at Wembley next month bingo
Continuing in such a fashion isn’t entirely sustainable bingo
At least the Lionesses got it over the line in Leicester; now they have just five days before they have to do it all over again in Belgium bingo
Their Nations League group is tight and any potential slip-ups have to be avoided bingo
England thankfully did that on Friday and they’re going to have to do it again bingo

Ben Stokes has declared himself ready for action in England’s must-win World Cup clash against South Africa, after missing the first three games of the campaign through injury bingo
Stokes’ comeback could not have come at a bingo better moment for a side whose title defence is on the rocks after a shock defeat to Afghanistan left them with a single win to their name bingo
The charismatic Test skipper suffered a hip injury during England’s warm-up week in Guwahati and has been sidelined ever since, but has given himself the green light to face the Proteas in Mumbai on Saturday bingo
Speaking before a training session at the Wankhede Stadium that will double up as a final vigorous fitness test, Stokes told BBC Radio’s Test Match Special: “It was a frustrating little niggle to get before the tournament but I have worked very hard to get back to where I am and making myself ready to be available for selection bingo
“We have had a few days off since the last game and first training session here in Mumbai bingo
I’ll give it a good push but, yes, I think everything is pretty good bingo
I am in a good place bingo
”It may be tempting to view Stokes as a saviour riding to the rescue – a role he has performed plenty of times over the course of his career, not least in the 2019 World Cup final – but he distanced himself from the idea bingo
I'll give it a good push but, yes, I think everything is pretty good bingo
I am in a good place bingo
Ben StokesResponding to the weight of expectation that will follow him on to the field, which has only grown with England’s struggles so far, he said: “I deal with it pretty easy to be honest, because I know I am one person in a team sport bingo
“No one looks to one person in this team to inspire them or anything like that bingo
It is not the case that if I do come in then all of a sudden we are going to do well bingo
It is just one of those things that gets spoken about a lot but I don’t read into too much bingo
“Everyone that walks out on to that field for England is a match-winner and can do something individually that can win us a game bingo
We just need to tone it down a bit on me coming back in bingo
