Well the result was the right one but they made hard work of it - Kane to the rescue from set pieces

No doubt that Sterling will get the critics but both Alli and Lingard were shocking, Alli maybe more down to being injured. Walker as CB is poor , Young just cuts in narrowing the field all day - poor decisions from the ref

The system/formation needs to change - the 3 at the back just doesn’t seem to work

4-3-3 would work better with Loftus Cheek with Henderson and Another - then Sterling Kane and Rashford up front

England just miss something out there and how the guys in the studio can call that exceptional I’m amazed

Thoroughlly deserved victory on first half performance, deserved nothing on 2nd half showing.
Massive lift for the squad.
Won’t judge or write off certain players just yet, long way to go and might need them all.

To fit the extra e in I had to remove the o 😁.

Next match Rashford and Cheeek have to start. Lingard, didn't deserve an extra a this time, needs a big match against Panama. He was anonymous for most of this game.

Anonymous yet missed loads of chances? Poor finishing? Yep. Anonymous. Not even close. England’s most potent player in general play, but Kane takes the plaudits for having an amazing instinct.

Young’s delivery was a constant positive. The Liverpool support is hanging out of you.

Southgate need to have a good look in the mirror , keeping an lnjured player on for that long just to keep the system.
To many backward passes sideways to much , final ball piss poor again.
We need a decent free kick taker.
But a win is a win so hopefully it will get better.

Ref should be sent home he was pants.

I should have posted anonymous second half. He missed chances first half, disappeared second half.

We have a different idea of what potent is.

Kerching. Happy to have take a few quid off the bookies but what a load of rubbish. Not positive enough. Didn't move it quick enough. Sterling showed up as not good enough again. Rashford did well as did Loftus-Cheek. I expect changes for the next game

And your Man Utd bias is clear

Lingard “potent” ?! He was shocking , worse than Sterling , wasted 3 maybe four golden chances , lost possession countless times and ended up running around like a headless chicken - Alli , Sterling and Lingard offered very little - Lingard tbe worse of the bunch.

Yup I thought Lingard was good, especially first half. Far more positives than negatives. Another team who came for a point and it seemed to me we approached it far better today than two years ago. Also made a difference Kane wasn’t taking corners.

No. Sterling the worse and has been for a long time. Alli wasn't fit and should have been off far earlier. Lingard wasn't great but not the worse of the lot in my opinion

Haha. Alli and Sterling better than Lingard. Not even close.

Yes. Potent, he found good positions, gave England an out but then his finishing was poor. But he was getting more chances than anyone else. In a game which lacked potency, he was the most potent of the attacking three midfielders.

What was Alli doing on the pitch that second half

He was clearly not fit to play almost cost us the game


Kane really can be naive, when he is getting rugby tackled to the ground he is not appealing for it...he has to let the ref know... should be running to the red screaming with his hands up. He might even be able to force a VAR check.

You watch Neymar and Suarez, they let the ref know when they are fouled

Agreed but knowing our luck he'll end up getting booked

I think some are forgetting just how inexperienced that team/squad is, Pickford, Trippier, Maquire, Loftus-Cheek etc are now on the biggest stage in the Football game, give them a chance, plenty of positives from that game.

What worried me in the second half was the lack of time on the ball from Sterling, Lingard and Alli. All disappeared and so we created little. Looked better once Rashford and Loftus-Cheek came on.
