England v Hungary / Andorra / Poland

Phillips and Rice getting a move to a champs league club will be interesting and I wonder if it will be to England’s benefit?

Will they take their games to the next level?

Do they need it?

Ooop

Shaw showing how much more solid we are with a proper leftie. 

This England team knows how to win games. Great unit and greater than the sum of the parts.

Sat back since we scored, been coming. Walker done far too easily out wide.

That was poor

You just had to do that didn't you

Philips has been superb again. I wanted him off at HT but 2nd half he’s been the best player on the pitch. 

He has. But it was something I noticed in the euros, he really does have a regular tendency to have one half where he plays like one of the best midfielders around and another where he looks like he's never played football before. Denmark was the obvious game, looked like someone who had won a competition first half. Had a good tournament generally but it's weird how he's so poor for the occasional 45 mins. Don't remember seeing it too often for a player in his position previously.

Easy to say after the goals gone in but felt we should have had a sub about 5-10 mins ago

Southgate's biggest flaw imo

Anyone questioning why Bellingham doesn't start should have their answer tonight.  If they didn't already. 

He's young and has plenty of itme but I'm not entirely sure we need to play 2 DM's against lesser opposition. When it comes to better teams next year I really hope we go 4231 and playing Rice and Phillips is probably the way to go then to be fair. 

class Polish goal and t b fair, they never gave up .. still we're undefeated in the qualifiers

Should have won that given the amount of possession we had but no quality at all around the 18 yard box. Too slow and too much poor decision making.
