Gloucester Saint Posted June 16 Share Posted June 16 (edited) Bellingham and Saka excellent, Rice hopefully should be helped by Gallagher being on, TAA awful. Foden hit and miss, Dusan booked for bringing him down. Guehi done well, Stones a bit ropey at times. Serbs have got to go for it now, Kane hits the bar, keeper saved that! What a save. Foden gives it away in a dangerous area yet again, get him subbed. Edited June 16 by Gloucester Saint 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whelk Posted June 16 Share Posted June 16 Just now, Turkish said: I’d love him to do well for England. Unfortunately there seems to be this narrative that we have to find a place for him. has he proved everyone wrong tonight? I agree he is massively overhyped by many pundits and commentators but that doesn’t mean he is shit. And he wasn’t worst player on display tonight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Secret Site Agent Posted June 16 Share Posted June 16 Well, its been the perfect tactic going back 40 years. Get an early goal in the first 15 minutes. Defend for 75 minutes plus stoppage time. That's what got us all the European championships and World Cups. The opposition, in this case Serbia, will never attack us in this state. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S-Clarke Posted June 16 Share Posted June 16 Alright for 30, but utter horse shit in that second half. Such a hard watch! Kane had a stinker. Foden ditto, shocker - we seem to struggle to accommodate him into the side. Guehi, Rice, Bellingham and Saka the best 4 for us. A win's a win, but no one is going to be quaking in their boots after that. Serbia unlucky not to get a 1-1. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is turning into a tired Wayne Rooney.

S-Clarke Posted June 16 Share Posted June 16 1 minute ago, egg said: Yep. Palmer should be there for me, on merit and form. Arguable case for Gordon though. Agreed, but Foden does have the numbers in the league to back him up too. I have a feeling that Foden is this generations 'club player' who cannot ever transfer it to International level. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rice was carrying TAA for me, but became scrappy. Pickford dealt with everything. We didn't concede. We won. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
