Is Jobe Bellingham playing instead of Jude tonight?

 

[Arthur Wedge]

On the basis that England have improved marginally since Mainoo and Palmer came on, what odds neither starts the next game?

Both been very bright

Shame that there isn’t the same change on the other two forward roles
Not sure why he is bringing on TAA

 

[HomerJSimpson]

TAA coming on. We've given up

Mainoo has to start really , better than Trent and Gallagher in that position

If anything Bellingham has been the issue tonight. Foden cam and Palmer left with mainoo in next to rice if Bellingham can't (won't) play deeper.

TAA to either assist or score the winner, or fall asleep to allow Slovenia to score a winner

1 minute for Gordon? Whats the point? I'd be telling Gareth to shove it.

 

[PJ87]

This ref is truly awful. All they have to do is stay down and he blows the whistle

Running the clock down to keep the draw

It's not been that good

Running the clock down to keep the draw

I understand why England might play for time, bur why is Slovenia doing it as well?

 

[Piece]

I think I just saw a forward, incisive pass

Think they go through with a draw

Mainoo and Palmer have to start the next game

 

[RichA]

What exactly is the point of a striker who has the ball on the edge of the box and passes it to the winger 10 yards further out to have a shot?

On ITV4????

Because it got them 2nd or 3rd in group?

 

[need_my_wedge]

Think the Scotland game was more entertaining….. and that was dire

 

[Billysboots]

Mainoo and Palmer have to start the next game

Absolutely they do. They both had an energy that nobody else has shown. I certainly think Mainoo will start ahead of Gallagher and TAA, but I’m not sure Southgate has the balls to start Palmer.

The problem for me is that England have absolutely no momentum whatsoever. They’re starting the knockout stages very much flat footed.

Very, very poor.

 

[Arthur Wedge]

England in the easiest group going and they score 2 goals in the three games - very poor , a decent team will smash them unless they sort it out

Mainoo and Palmer need to start the next game

 

[Swango1980]

England score 2 and concede 1 in group stages, and top the group.

That feels like almost perfection for Southgate
