Played well. Glad he’s coming off before the pitchforks come out.

Mainoo and Bruno off early ends my interest
Bruno is off to his holidays.
I was a bit worried Southgate would ruin him … or England would feck up and he’s get the blame.Indeed. Seemed a little tired and less effective in the second half but overall a good performance.
It's not very effective.
He's not latin.
He's also went looking for an angle to stop short of criticizing Rice because he's too close to him. Mainoo was an easy target for the rasist bastard.
It may work with other clubs but Real's lure won't move our players especially the British ones at that. We've only ''lost'' a player to them once and that was Ronaldo. Apart from that we've never lost a player to them we didn't want to let go.

But think he’ll have learned a lot from playing Intl football. Just hope he’s not too tired for early part of the season.
Said it before but fitness is the biggest thing holding him back at mo.Looked good in the first half, but he is clearly more effective right now progressing the play running with the ball than passing through lines. Rice and Mainoo is bit too safe passing wise at the moment.
Legs started to fade in the second.

It seems like it but I really hope it's something that can be improved - I think it's easier to improve your engine or even how to manage your energy better than to acquire football intelligence and flair.Said it before but fitness is the biggest thing holding him back at mo.
Defo. It's the better problem to have that's for sureIt seems like it but I really hope it's something that can be improved - I think it's easier to improve your engine or even how to manage your energy better than to acquire football intelligence and flair.

Wharton and Mainoo would have been far more complimentary in that setup. Rice in front of a back 5 is a bit pointless in this team.
Struggled in the second half, it's fair to say. But a very tidy first one. His stock has gone up with this tournament.
Shame both his shots were blocked, both could have gone in.
Maybe, but no manager is going to stick Wharton and Mainoo as the midfield in a knock out game, a pair of kids with a handful of caps between them. Should experiment with it in the build up to the next WC,
Mainoo does need to develop a more expansive passing range, that and a better engine and he is going to be hard to stop.
He's a very good player. The experience will do him good. I have a feeling he might not start the next game. He does some really good stuff, but I don't think him and Rice works well enough and Rice isn't getting dropped.
Nobody has played better with Rice than Mainoo
I don't think we are the right people to ask for an impartial answer. Rice and mainoo started the last 2 games. We went behind in both, we equalized after Kobbie got subbed.
I think he's great, but I don't think it's a great partnership and I think a manager will have picked up on that. It's not a slight on Kobbie, he's a kid learning his craft. We all know that Rice isn't going to be the one rested. It's not a bad thing.

You can't blame Mainoo for any of that. When Conor Gallacher came on, he had a bright 5 minutes and then almost gave away 2-3 clear cut chances to the Swiss and was generally a disaster in extra time. Scored his penalty which is obvs a huge plus in tournament football, so it's harsh to be overly critical.I don't think we are the right people to ask for an impartial answer.

If they start Trent or Gallagher in midfield again , then England deserve to go out.
