    Not enough discussion of Pickford’s hair for me. 
    Looks like he's trying to disguise himself as Dean Henderson.

    I am sure most "fans" think you can play 5 attacking midfeilders, over lapping full backs and two up front..... 
    Walker is very fast and a good defender but some will judge him by what he can't do. Managers like him as his pace is an insurance policy, even Pep who likes his players to all be brilliant on the ball.

    Liverpool did and won the Premier League.

    Play to your strengths sometimes.
    Mate they played 3 holding midfielders!

    They changed to 2 and Tiago and won sod all.

    Man City didn't play with a holding midfield in 1 European game, and lost that.

    He's fine, he's just been at the Ben Watson School of Dodgy 5-yard Passes today.

    Croatia seem to be targeting Trippier everytime they go forward.

    Blimey... Jude Bellingham coming on

    Didnt expect to see him in this sort of scenario

    Certainly not for Kane

    Is this park the bus for 10 minutes?
  • golfaddickgolfaddick
    Yep.....Southgate definitely got his coaching badge the same time as Bowyer.

    No main striker on the pitch now.
  • SELR_addicksSELR_addicks
    Rashford up front I guess on the counter.

    Need at least 3 strikers on the pitch, have you ever seen Man City play, they are awful.

    How Spain ever won the world cup......

    Well after all the worry today, the defence has been pretty solid
  • ChunesChunes
    Ref has been excellent today. For us.

    Think he's been pretty fair across the board

    Slightly surprised we’ve not made more changes, with the heat this afternoon 
  • JessieJessie
    Five minutes left. Fingers crossed... 
  • CroydonCroydon
    Please please PLEASE not a repeat of the Russia game in '16
  • SELR_addicksSELR_addicks
    Surprised Trippier has lasted the whole game. Been struggling a bit this second half defending the crosses
  • Laddick01Laddick01
    The order of these subs has been a bit weird.

    Phillips is so underrated by a lot of people in this country. We’ve needed a player like him for a long time. 
    I think he was underrated by me before this game, he’s been bloody brilliant!

    Pleased for Sterling too, will be interesting to see how the media manage to put a negative spin on it in tomorrow’s paper!
    Probably because you don’t see a lot of Leeds on TV etc. He’s being doing it for two years at Leeds.

    Mount is a machine. Doesn’t stop running.
  • ForeverAddicktedForeverAddickted
    Great hands from Pickford to come get that ball

    Job done... Need to be better but the hardest task in the Group Stages is out the way for me - Czechs could be difficult but we smashed them at Wembley last year
