Very tidy game. ?

Holland nice going forward, not great defensively though. Ukraine technically sound, just not organised enough at the back.

Scorer of the winning goal was called Dumfries. Obviously a Scotsman.

Great start from England yesterday - but we can do better.

Foden didnt offer as much as I thought he would, needs the ball to feet more I feel to get him involved.

Mount was quiet but productive at times.

Sterling had a solid performance, great goal and great runs in behind.

Midfield 2 of Rice and Phillips were solid as a rock.

Back 4 also solid, very defensive in this game - but it was the hardest in the group on paper! Pickford had a quiet day but avoided the classic England keeper blunder in game 1!

Kane is Kane.. maybe should have had 1 but took a big whack off the post trying to get that in!

Its coming home

Funny reading people's pre-match comments today. I was also questioning Sterling's start over Sancho, but hey he scored, so went some way to justifying it. I wanted to see Grealish & Foden, but at least we got one of them rather than neither. The defence was very worrying, with both CBs and keeper all having a mistake in them, and Trippier playing on the wrong side for some reason - but luckily they weren't tested much. Walker was awful as well so hopefully Shaw comes in for him next game (with Trips swapping back over).

I hadn't seen much of Phillips in the past to know what he really does, but he was our best player yesterday. With Rice sitting and him pushing on a little bit, he moved the ball around really well, got stuck in and teed up the goal with a fine pass. It was a pretty dull game but I was expecting a draw, so 3 points in the opener is all you can ask for.

Oh right.
Like Tony Hancock and Dr MacGregor in the blood donor.

Scotland have a decent midfield but their forwards and defenders are rubbish. I don't know why you wouldn't start Che Adams. Tierney is a big miss I imagine, from the left of that back 3.

Decent cross but an exceptional header.

Thats some goal that take a bow sir

 

[Orikoru]

Oh well, Scotland are off home already. That didn't take long.

Fantastic strike. Keeper in no man's land though?? It will take some beating for goal of the tournament.

Have to agree though, but we are making it so easy for them-it's now looking like men against boys
We need something to happen/inspire us!

I don't know who this Dykes feller is, but he is absolutely useless. Can't believe they started this clown over Adams.
