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.

Seriously Phil were you watching the same game as most others.
Lingard set Sterling up for a tap in.
Hit the post when put through.
Missed a great chance and should have scored.
Shocking? Worse than Sterling?
We know you want England to fail so you can just get more digs in.

Trippier was England's best player by a country mile! Who does he play for? As for the rest.....barring the first 20 minutes, awful. I was expecting my next door neighbor round to complain about my very vocal language. I've got to paint the front room now. Stirling can pack a bag now and sod off. As can pass it back Henderson. Loftus Cheek was a clumsy oaf, as is that Kane fella. "took his goala superbly". Jesus H Christ me an my fat gut could have scored them from 3 yards out. Just what this side footing shooting is about I don't know. Put your stupid foot though the damn ball when your shooting!!!

Best comment was from the wife "have we taken a defence?".

Belgium will slaughter us.

You write this crap when we win ^^^^^

God knows what you'll write when we get beaten 🤔

My god that has to be the most clueless post of the lot - England weren’t outstanding but Christ they were far better than you suggest - Henderson was one of the best on the pitch along with Kane and Trippier - to suggest he needs to go home is hilarious at best . To even utter one word of criticism of Kane is laughable

Poor attempt at trolling, Crazyface, we can all clearly see that you didn't actually watch the game.
You probably got a 2nd hand report from a Tunisian.
Hey, you're not even a football fan, why bother?

1. It's not. I did.
2. LOL
3. Correct, if you're call Prem League football. LOL. Dross.

PS. My misses says exactly the same about the performance.

I stand by what I said. Kane is a clumsy big footed clown. No wonder he doesn't score in international tournaments. The quality of defenders is much higher. Tunisia were awful. If England were any good they should have got at least 5 last night. They didn't, and they aren't. Herderson did nothing in the second half as did ALL of the outfield 11.

Rashford MUST start. Trippier was superb!!!!!! Lingard ran about a lot but failed when it mattered. I'd give him another chance. Stones was ok, but Lurch next to him OMG!!!! He's not a footballer!!!! Ali flitted about and caused problems like annoying wasp but did nowt. Now they're all going to ruin my Sunday.

Seriously? Just what else did he do? Sure he did what he is there for, but apart from that contributed nothing. Sure he was dragged to the floor. But when I had a gorriilla doing that to me I just moved away from the six yard area outside the box and bobbed about until the ball came in and left him for dead. Has Kane no brain?

I didn't watch the match as I was playing badminton instead. But as I am a one eyed myopic tunnel vision football fan I feel I must say that all the players that play for the team I support were great and the players that play for teams that are our rivals were awful.

3 criticisms from myself on the game..
Stirling couldn’t hit the goal from the goal line, swap him for Rashford.
The return to the old way of standing still with the ball, too many backwards passes and a big drop off in intensity in the second half.
Southgate was too slow with his substitutions. He should have acted at half time.
Other than that, 3 points for the win is really all that matters.

Don't understand the negativity. Tunisia are the highest ranked African team and Spain only just snuck past them 1-0 (84th minute goal) the other month.

We dominated the game and should have scored 4, and had 2 penalties. Despite being clumsy at times, the pace and movement going forward with Sterling, Alli and Lingaard caused lots of troubles. Young did nothing wrong and played a really steady game too. I'd rather see England play like this than be ultra defensive.

He scored the goals that won the game :rofl: and he should have had two more penalties, what else did you want the main goalscorer to do - on one post you state he can’t score in tournaments now you Say that all he does is score - you have removed all doubt that you do not have a clue

It would be funny if you weren’t being serious

That was shaping up to be a classic England game - play well for 15 minutes early on, be praised for the 'positives' and then do sweet FA for the rest of the game. I'm not sure we were great but we still deserved the 3 points, so happy we got there in the end.

Sterling and Lingard were awful. Dele was injured and should have gone off at half time really. Loftus-Cheek & Rashford were very good when they came on, they gave us something I think. Defence was a bit ropey at times, but we knew our defence was poor going into the competition, we knew we were going to have some shaky moments. Not very much we can do about that. A lot of people seemingly thought Maguire was bad, but there were positives, the way he drove with the ball out from the back, and won everything in the air in their penalty area. Perhaps against Belgium Cahill will come in for a little bit more defence resilience, but happy for Maguire to remain against Panama.

Their penalty was a penalty - typical clumsy idiocy from Walker, just like the old days I remember from him at Spurs. But let's not forget we were denied two absolute stone-wallers. What on earth is the point of having VAR if you're not going to bloody use it? Kane literally thrown onto the floor twice, not even looked at. Utter shambles. VAR has actually worked better than expected in the rest of the competition, trust our game to be the one where they sack it off.

Last word for Trippier - absolutely fantastic. His delivery is honestly Beckham-esque at times.

Would like to see Rashford and Loftus-Cheek starting against Panama now - Sterling dropped, and probably Dele if he's injured, or Lingard if he isn't. I have a feeling he might give Rose a game over Young just for rotation. Otherwise keep it the same, go out there and win the game comfortably so we're not needing a result against Belgium. :thup:

Not a great performance from England.
Sterling,Alli & Lingard need to be doing much better.
Watching Sterling for England you can’t believe he got so many goals for City.
Headless Chicken.

Kane is class,like Lukaku if he gets service he’ll get goals.

So not the best performance but,we’ve got more points than Germany,Spain,Brazil & Argentina 😁

However according to a Tunisian fan on the radio this morning, their top play maker and main striker are injured along with 2 other midfielders who are regular starters.
