“Take Mount off at HT he’s been non-existent for 99% of that half. Move Foden in to the middle and get him turning on the ball and running at the defence.”

Then proceed to claim Sterling has been the best player. Delusional.
Whereas you just want James on, aye? :smirk:

To be honest it's freeing having no United players involved, you can blame them all equally.

I remember the croatia keeper Livakovic had an amazing game as Spurs were knocked out of europe. Just hope England can keep testing him, cuz he looks like a potential top keeper but he might have some holes to exploit

I think Sterling's done well to. We have 0 control in midfield though. Either Rice has to come off or actually start taking control alongside Phillips.
I think that's mainly because England have tried to bypass the midfield entirely with the balls over the top. Seems to me Rice has been given a very simple brief: screen the defence and recycle the ball.

You are not as good as you think.

France is much better in talent and as a team.

You have a lot of very good players but not really stands out one, not in national team anyway.

As exemple, Rice is good but Kanté is twice the player.

Same in attack, no one is at Mbappé’s level. You can say Kane but I have never seen him shine in a big tournament for England.

You don’t have enough difference makers.
You?

I'm not english or support England national team.

United make me feel dirty. And not in a sexy way.

I fecking hate that none of United players are on the pitch. And somebody explain to me how Greenwood didn't even make the bench?

Kane needs to get up the fecking pitch. Don't think I could stomach him at United if he were to play like this.

Because he’s not in the squad.

There's no combination of midfielders that will control the middle ahead of Modric and Kovacic. They need to bypass the midfield.

If kane is dropping in like this all tournament he needs 2 runners either side, not Sterling and foden
