do you think we defended well?

Yes. There were a couple of moments Germany created chances, which will always happen playing decen teams. But for most of the game we were solid, and Pickford cleaned up when needed.

Can't believe some of the critical views on England and Southgate.
England were brilliant, we beat a decent German side and can't expect teams to lie down and let us win.
They had 3 clear cut chances, two of which Pickford made world class saves from.
Gareth Southgates tactics have been spot on and you have to give him credit for that.

Some people just won't, it wouldn't suit their agendas.
They like to moan just for the sake of it and are never happy unless they're unhappy.
God forbid they should ever give Southgate any credit ........................ yet how can anyone do otherwise?
I just don't get it.

Sorry but that’s a poor German side
 
Sterling and Walker performing really well - not often I say that! Thought Walker looked very assured as part of a back three and agree his pace to get close enough to Muller was enough to put him off. He deserved to miss for his creepy wink to camera during the anthem!
 
German guy opposite took his flag down within 5 minutes of the whistle :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

Same time as I put our St George Cross Flag out. It's not brought us luck over the years so decided to keep it under wraps this time. It will be back in hiding before Saturday's game!

Because it’s possible to support the team while disliking the manager.

Yes he’s done well and deserves credit for it, but I don’t see the issue with questioning his selections and line ups!

I’m sure you’ve seen the issues at Club level and managers.
 
Lets face it, most of us would struggle to run a bath let alone an England football team - Southgate's not doing too bad!

Football isn’t a game of perfect.

Every team will have opportunities, no matter how well the defence performs. In terms of a boxing match, England were winning on points and then scored 2 goals. I thought it was England’s best performance.

haha i watch not defending well week in week out ;) dont disagree with your post just dont think we defended that well, considering we had 3 centre halves and Rice and Phillips in front the Germans went clean through the middle 3 times

results orientated thinking that a clean sheet = defending well

Pickford was outstanding
 
There was certainly a lot of raised eyebrows with the team selection but credit to Southgate for how the team managed the game. If we had gone gung ho we probably would have got beat. I'd rather play this way and progress.
I thought everyone played well with the exception of Kane. Hopefully the goal will give him some confidence for Saturday .
