Championship player lol... this place. He's been the best player on the pitch first half, literally the only danger England have offered. Stepping up time and again while the other big attackers are in hiding. Completely destroying Sweden. Deserves criticism for the other games, England best attacker today by a country mile. Poor finishing though.
What game have you been watching? :lol:

The only player that's attacking against Sweden, bad misses but some of you posters need to have a word with yourself, some of these posts I'm expecting to be quoted by The Sun.

He had a good half. Even when he's not playing well, he's the best foil for Harry kane in this system.

Playing well today.

His finishing has been poor but otherwise he's been England's only good attacker.

Instead of laughing tell me whose been better or offered more. Kane did nothing, Lingard nothing, Alli nothing. Laugh all you want, easily Englands best attacker and the best on the pitch today.
One of you tell me, whose offered more, whose made more chances, whose contributed more in an attacking sense?
The player who actually scored, perhaps?

You might be right if England hadn't have scored a goal that he had nothing to do with.
Thats one goal from a set piece, thats ridiculous. Tell me whose offered more in an attacking sense for England. Names please.

He should have scored the offside goal and possibly done better with the other chance, however, he's been England's best player in the first half. Every attacking threat we have had has been as a result of Sterling's play.

Poor decision making but can't fault him for a lack of effort.

I know, I’m biased cause I really can’t stand him as a player.

I don’t think he’s played well though, honestly. Getting in to good positions is nothing if you can’t do anything with it. I’d be delighted if he made me eat my words though.

So Harry McGuire has been Englands best attacker, ffs... clutching at straws there much.
Stating facts is clutching straws? Maguire scored a goal. You said, word for word, that Sterling was literally the only danger England have offered, yet another player scored the goal.

You do know what the word "literally" means, right? It doesn't look like you do.

You asked who has contributed more in an attacking sense. The f*cking player who actually scored.
Yes, its pathetic the lengths people go to criticise him. Easily Englands best attacking player today, still gets shit. Scoring a goal from a corner is not contributing to the attacking play of the team.

He's been excellent that half. Everything good England do starts with him.

No it is. It literally is.

And there's the correct use of that word you don't understand.

Will say it again: De Bruyne and co. make him look much better than he is in front of goal. Dribbling is top notch, but the rest is substandard.
