Like Grealish did in reverse for Shaw's assist? :ROFLMAO:

Its a team game man! Shaw and JG do link up very well though, I'd have him at Villa....
I think we should praise the pair of them and highlight Grealish’s ability to hit Kane and Sterling given their propensity to usually be nowhere useful

Or maybe they have been in the right places on occasion but no one has been capable of setting them up…. Just saying… for a friend.;)
 
As I keep saying, it's not a different bloke that plays for Everton. It's the same guy. Unless you reckon he just doesn't care enough to play that well for Everton? The fact he hasn't made a clanger for England yet is only law of averages because he's played 160 odd times for Everton and 35 for England. But, long may it continue.
Try to think of Pickford from an Everton fan’s point of view as you think of Kane, Pickford’s mistakes have been few and for between for Everton last season and he is judged on the past, he’s still young and is improving all the time.

No It is a fair point, our camera view is just the back passes and you actually miss the movement up the front.

He has 6 errors leading to goals in the last two seasons, and he's 27 so not really what you'd call young. But anyway, he is playing out of his skin right now and that's the main thing. (y) Long may he continue to only make mistakes for Everton. :LOL:

How many misses has Kane had over the same period for Spurs and England?;)

6 errors in 160 appearances ?? Is that your concern?
 
I know English seasons are pretty tough but they're not that bad!
You need to look at the complete list, very few if any keeper is error free.(y)

Probably all make less errors than forwards miss chances.:p
 
Billy Gilmour has gone on a season long loan at Norwich. Good business for all concerned, including the player. Well done to Norwich for getting in there early and being an attractive option.
Yes that will do him good.
I hate seeing young talented players warming the benches of big clubs.
They are better off playing every week.

Well done Norwich, would have taken him but the fact it's only a loan with no permanent wouldn't suit. Class player

One for the fantasy football that
 
Just read the summary for Belgium Italy, Belgium will be without Eden Hazard and KB . Having said that they were quite impressive in their first game without either, but Italy are a different level.
I don’t know who I want to support, the Italian side is quite interesting- more so than previous sides. But Belgium have a way about them I like ..
 
Maybe not..... that's unbelievable.......:eek:

Germany has 3 really good referees, Graefe, Aytekin and Brych. I would take any decision of them, and I wouldn't try to search the contact either.
The way Ukraine dived against Sweden, they won't get many decisions their way if they try it again.

Only German referee I absolutely object to is Zwayer. He shouldn't even be allowed to clean toilets in any football stadium for life.
 
I think Belgium are great value tonight. Hazard and KDB weren't fit in the games they played anyway and both were poor bar a great finish from KDB. Italy started the tournament strong but were sluggish against Wales and didn't look great against Austria.

Belgium do have an aging defence that Italy will look to expose but Lukaku given service has the potential to take Italy apart.
