Awful penalty should never have been taking one but good to see English players putting themselves above the team going into a tournament. Always bodes well

That was selfish by Henderson, surely England had a better penalty taker in Lingard or Trippier

Good enough for us every time I watch him I always think he is better than Henderson
Not that I don’t believe you, I don’t watch WBA. But people were saying the same about Henderson at Sheffield United. Now the consensus is he’s not good enough

My wit's end
Bellingham's introduction has really improved the tempo of our passing.

I'd start him in the Euros. The kid's a star in the making.

4 league goals in his last 22 prem games so nothing extraordinary there.

Also injury a big issue as he was basically done after 60 minutes of europa final but was kept on just to take a penalty so will be an issue if England have say two extra time games in the knock outs, can see Southgate doing an Ole and trying to keep him on at all costs.

Says a lot about the fantastic goalscoring record of the others then, who Rashford still managed outscore.

Shocking captaincy from Henderson. On the eve of a major tournament, you give that to Calvert-Lewin to give him some confidence going in.

You don't grab it yourself to try and feed your ego.

Bellingham looks really good to me, he'll be starting in 2022 world cup for sure.

Just got that special presence about him you don't see in many under 20 players.

It was seriously pathetic, horrible example of captaincy.

Maguire is going to head so many balls into the stand if we get Trippier taking our corners next season.

Bellingham reminds me of Barkley when he burst onto the scene. Bit of a bulldozer, all action midfielder.

Birmingham’s decision to retire Bellingham’s number won’t look so daft in 15 years.

Whoever's planning to buy Grealish better do so ASAP as his value looks like it'll rise exponentially. Has everything about him to be one of the stars of the tournament.

Grealish really is one footed isn't he.
Too much for my liking.

Yeah and Rashford has looked pretty dangerous running in behind.

Bizarre take.
It is not bizarre if you take United goggles off. Rashford has been poor and is competing with the likes of Foden, Sterling and possibly Grealish for a place. Would be on the bench for me. Shaw would be fine but Chilwell deserves a place on form.

It’s baked into his style of play though, it actually makes him even less predictable. It’s a bit like Messi with his left foot, he‘s got the ability to move in either direction dribbling with the one foot and it gives even less of a clue as to what he’s going to do.
