Honestly if that dope walker can play in a Guardiola team then I can believe the lukaku to man city link.

It's just unreal that southgate has picked worst options for left back and right back.

I don't think Foden is ready yet for these high-stakes games. He was bad in the CL final too. Too passive IMO.

Surprise, surprise. Sterling, Walker, and Trippier are playing like crap.

Gvardiol playing out of position is hurting the Croats. They really could use a natural LB.

He’s a crap passer, it’s not that well hidden! Maybe even better gliding with the ball than Modric but for a midfielder that prefers being on the ball, if all you can do is simple passes, it’s a pretty big weakness.
His passes are ok for a combative midfielder. It’s more that his passes come a little late. Compare him with Jorginho, everybodies favourite meh player, who just makes players around him better.

Walker has had enough chances for England yet he still continues to perform like a dozy clown.

Wouldn't call the opening group game particularly high stakes. Foden has been one of our better outlets so far, in my opinion.

How long does it take to pass a ball 1 metre? How slow are they playing?

Walker subbed for shaw and switch tripper to the right is the obvious fix for the defence.

Kane needs to stick central to give them someone to look for in the box, grealish or rashford for sterling.

That leaked England team has been confirmed. Jadon Sancho isn’t even on the bench, which is weird, while Jordan Henderson has been included in the matchday squad so that he can do a few card tricks in the dressing-room at half-time.
