We’ll lose this because of Southgate. He won’t change his favourites even though we’re crying out for something different up top. Kane is absolutely done.
Aye, he won't swap out Sterling or Kane. They'll play the full 120mins. We have players on the bench with so many goals that Italy would cry for and yet they're just there doing nothing. Sigh.

I wonder who's going to come in to replace Grealish in that ET second half :confused:

No team in particular.
Considering the attacking talent England have, is criminal what kind of tactics they play.
England's strikers are good, but their midfield seems a bit underwhelming for a big team.

France,Germany, and Spain have better midfield.

I forgot about Henderson and Trippier with pens, bringing Sancho and Rashford on would help with the pens
Trippier was subbed about 30 minutes ago wasn't he although you forget with all the subs you can make now.

Oh would you people stop banging on about cheating. We get it, you're Irish/scot/welsh. You hate England by default, you don't have to make up reasons to.
What's it like watching football blindfolded?

If you think people are "making up reasons" by calling this England team divers then you're absolutely taking the piss.

Given he’ll never take Sterling off, Southgate should say “Bukayo, it’s not quite working out for you” and give Sancho a chance. Pace, skill and directness.

I felt a bit bad supporting Italy against my Manchester United players, and was fine with Shaw being the hero, but with no Rashford and Sancho, I couldn't care less now. On footballing terms, England have no right winning this. Still stranger things have happened.
