Sterling likes playing for England.

Wonder if Phillips regrets his move to city , I mean providing fitness he isn't getting back in this line up.

Bellingham was too young last summer but he has slotted right in and made the midfield more forward thinking

Phillips is a good back up to Rice, in this heat he may well play the last 15-20 mins if games are won. My concern is If Southgate starts to play him alongside Rice which means we will be playing to defensive. That said he could take off Bellingham and play out the last 20 mins.

Nice to see us taking our chances.
Three great finishes.

Oddly enough his inclusion in the squad was questioned. ???

Expect he regrets getting injured, not moving to City. Every chance if fully fit he'd play ahead of Mount in this side with Bellingham more advanced, especially against the better sides

Was always going to be understudy to rodri though rather than first teamer

I'd not like to see Phillips and rice again unless it's to close out a game . Bellingham is a great traditional number 8

Good goals , very good goals. Careful re injuries now.

City play about 70 games every season and rotate heavily, if he was fit hed be getting plenty of game time at City (and will after xmas)

Is this game being played on the moon. There’s no atmosphere. ?

If it stays like this, hopefully some more of the squad will get brought on to rest the important players (is it 5 subs or 3?).

Southgate needs to be strong, whilst he will want to stay on to chase the golden boot, players like Kane need a rest once the game is won just as much as the back up need time on the pitch.

Thought this was not allowed in Qatar

Assuming players fit, Wilson, Maddison, TAA, Foden, etc. could come on after 60 mins or so. Got an extra concussion sub to use as well

This is the most one-sided England v Iran encounter since the SAS stormed their embassy.

 

[Dando]

Ever seen 14 minutes of injury time before?

yeah, when Ferguson was Man U manager, they had enough injury time to allow them to score

Indeed, Bellingham looks like a modern day Gerrard. Class.
