    Lack of an overlap killing us on the left ffs.

    Imagining Saka bombing past Sterling would be terrifying for a defender.

    Haven't rated sterling in the final third, never finds the right ball

    not impressed by Kane so far, as others say we need to score, Croatia can't be as bad in 2nd half

    Did he just say Sterling has 41 international goals?!

    Rice and Phillips not trying to occupy the same space is a big positive to what I feared when I saw the team sheet. Phillips playing more CM than CDM

    Takes too many touches and slows it down.

    I can’t see what we’ve got from Trippier here. We just look weak down both flanks.

    Yeah has gone a bit flat. Kane is having another one of those games where he lumbers around looking knackered.

    thank god for the red button - now on 5 live so not having to listen to Mowbray, whose every statement has to sound profound.

    Barry Davies is still with us - bring him back. 
  • Modric starting to get into this now.

    I can’t watch Walker another tournament. I’ve suffered too much.

    first 20 minutes the highlight of our tournament

    Shaw on, Trippier to RB and Grealish on for Sterling.

    Too disjointed.

    Highlight of the game so far is that the "England Band" aren't there.

    Croatia realising there's a big gap between our back 6 and the 4 further forward to play in.

    Booing the Croats every time they have possession is completely pathetic
