Keep Foden central is all I'll say. Best player in Europe this season there in my opinion. The rest falls into place Where he plays he is Messi like. Obviously not as good but does what Messi does/did. Dribbles, pass and move and bends shit pingers in off his left foot. He played there for the first time this tournament tonight in the first half. I think he was MoM overall tbh. He has to play there. Wasn't he technically played there Vs Switzerland but it just didn't work somehow? Seemed today like first half the midfielders+Saka just moved better than Vs the swiss.

That's a start if you sort of celebrated 😂 It was a much better performance I agree and we deserved the win. Think Tim Henman at his most riotous. We definitely deserved the win. You tiger you.

I said it last night but just watched the highlights back (again), but Mainoo is going to be some player.
We've been fortunate enough to be blessed with some quality CMs in the past few decades, but he's got every chance to be up there with the best of them.

We've been shite since Trippier went off 😄 I was thinking that, he was getting forward going behind the lines, just the issue of crossing with his left foot. Shaw seemed to not want to go to far forward until towards the end, whether it was instructions or protection for his hamstring?

Spain will be favourites on Sunday but I think their style of play will suit us. We've struggled to break down teams who pack the midfield. Obviously there's a risk of a hammering but our attacking players will be given the space to play.

Really enjoyed last night obviously. Thinking about it this morning, the feeling from Watkins scoring a last minute winner to put England into the Euros final was not even a fraction of what Stoke scoring a last minute winner away at Swansea on a Tuesday night in a mid table Championship clash feels like. Wish I could feel as passionately as others

First half was everything we’ve been waiting to see, but we referred to type in the second sadly.Kane and Rice were particularly disappointing, Rice seems to be turning into the new Henderson, a lot of exaggerated purpose and pointing, but little end product he needs to drive forward more. If Southgate plays the right team and goes for the jugular, we stand a chance, however Spain looked absolutely beautiful against France. I’m not expecting anything, so I feel the pressures off but can’t wait till Sunday

Spains weak point is their defence, if we're still in the game with 20 mins to go, that back 4 will not like the subs we bring on to attack them with.
As poor and frustrating as Kane has been, I think he should start. We want Watkins coming on against tired legs.

Must be a Southgate instruction?

Well yes, I kind of agree. I just know there's zero chance of that happening so not really entertaining it.

Must be a Southgate instruction? Rice has been poor, even when the team lifted their performance last night he was the one still making sloppy mistakes. In the long run, I think he won't be a nailed on starter with the emergence of Mainoo and potential of Wharton to actually play the 6 position properly.

If you want to be brought back down to earth just listen to Talksport, Jesus it’s almost like it pains them to say anything positive. I normally like listening but this morning it’s awful.

Completely.So many times I’ve been urging him to go forward but he just checks back and points,he’s becoming a caricature of himself.Ive not seen enough from Bellingham either to be honest.

Kane has been poor by his standards but he’s still joint top scorer in the tournament. He should start but then Toney or Watkins to come on depending how the game is going.

Wish I could feel as passionately as others Agree Tommy, that it is a different feeling altogether. I love watching England and and have always wanted to see us win something in my lifetime!! The beauty is I can actually look forward to the game on Sunday, and you know if they lose then it won't feel anywhere near as bad as ANY Stoke loss. I won't feel physically sick before the game, or like someone has kicked me in the bollocks afterwards. Just enjoy it mate, the real pain starts in August!!

Shaw seemed to not want to go to far forward until towards the end, whether it was instructions or protection for his hamstring? To be fair, they changed their tactics to address that, so tactically it was a different set up, they seemed to put more effort into blocking that option.

I’m not expecting anything, so I feel the pressures off but can’t wait till Sunday With all due respect, I don't think we did revert to type. You have to give the opposition credit here, they had a major tactical overhaul at half time and plugged the holes and organised themselves really well, we had to then find a way and I'm not sure why that should be considered as straightforward at this level of football. We found it difficult to get Foden in the game as we did in the first half, but I can understand why he kept him on for so long. They are a top team with some well drilled players it was never going to be a walk in the park. You could argue we could have made the subs sooner, but there is something to be said for bringing those players against tiring defenders, and the work we did on them before the subs contributed to that tiredness as well.
