Foden has been missing 

As well as Kane one touch in the first half, why he is not all over Saka’s crosses ? 

I'm not being blue nosed about it but i don't think the TAA thing is working. He seems our biggest liability in possession. I would seriously think about Gallagher soon for TAA and get him shutting down space along with Rice

Lukaku would be proud. 

Surprised Tadic didn't start tbh

Conor coming on

Must have heard you

Saka for Bowen.  f**k sake. Palmer clearly the best option 

Awful pass from Foden. He's been sh*te today. 

Foden awful game 

God what is Southgate doing. 

Kane's all round centre forward play has been very good today. Unlucky not to get the goal as well.

Yep better in the second half ….. one touch in the first 

Right result however very pedestrian and dull. Premiership most high tempo league in the world. Why don’t we play at Premiership tempo? Usual excuse. being simmer tournament football high temperatures- not the case now- right result but pretty poor IMO

Unimpressive win for England. They haven't won any new fans tonight.

It'll be the usual England tournament performance.

First top team they meet , they will lose.

Still, early days yet .

 

 

I thought we were rubbish apart from the first 20 mins ….we have again been over hyped we will meet a lot harder teams than Serbia

He headed it right at the keeper either side and a goal.

Southgate made a good sub in Gallager his movement shut down a number of their moves and he wins two free kicks.

Bowen's cross gave Kane the chance though not much else in his short cameo.

I don't really think they complement each other outside of trying to see out the match.

Should be Wharton there, he offers all the things Rice doesn't.

I love Cesc.

Good win, We just need a point now to get into the knockout stages

You don’t win the tournament first game but you can lose it

Balance on the left is a concern

 

Shearer was annoying me so much I was half hoping Serbia would score, preferably with an own goal from Jude, just to put a stopper in Shearer's ridiculous over the top adulation of every little thing that Jude happened to do , good player though he is.

But " we never start well" ......yeah and after " never starting well" we go on to win f**k all as well.

f**k me now the pundits are idolising over the way Jude speaks!

🤣 We don't win any tournaments !

Gotta be a LOT better to win this one . Let's hope, I'm putting the flag out tomorrow, the first one in the street !

This is why I stopped give a sh*t about the nation team many years ago. The Chelsea hatred has run deep for decades. 

The "covering for Lampard ruined Gerrard", the media gate to get JT stripped of his armband and place because St. Steven was supposed to be captain England. Etc etc.

 

Same stuff still goes on. Cole Palmer not even used. You have Palmer play that season for Arsenal and he is an England starter, you have Saka play thar season for Chelsea and he does not make the squad.
