I wouldn't be opposed to pushing Bellingham wide for 15 minutes and have Foden go through the middle with Kane. See if he can unlock something in his preferred position.
Agree with others that Rashford should be hooked off.
wales limping out of the tournament whilst we limp into the last 16
Haven't really exerted ourselves over the two and a half games and as it stands, still winning the group. Leaving aside whether it's the right approach, Southgate will be pleased with that. The concern as a fan has to be can we step it up when the situation demands it?
It could be more exciting but this is the modern reality for most teams when it comes to tournament football - coaches set up first and foremost not to lose. Look at France keeping it tight against Denmark, Argentina against Mexico, Brazil against Serbia and Switzerland...
We are going to need to get much better at breaking teams down
why? When you hit the knockout stages both teams will be playing to win??
What happens if we go a goal down at any point?
To give you a genuine answer - most good teams that go one up will not park the bus and hope for the one- nil win - that's been the criticism of England under Southgate so you should already be aware of this
Rashford having a shocker Henderson is just so so so boring
we don’t need Hendo and Rice out there we need some creativity
its better than the USA game but still need to step it up! Feel for Foden too as he looks up and sees Rashford invariably tightly marked, Hendo who is fucking shit or Walker who is a sprinter and not a great footballer!
as I said the other day - it’s the most technically gifted squad for a generation and we play shit and stodgy football
wales are dreadful and Bale had been utter dog toffee. Really struggling to stay awake

Would rather listen to Chesney tbh.

Sterling on for Rashford.
Mount/Maddison on for Henderson.
Trippier for Walker.
Me for England manager!!
