    I don't want him anywhere near a Barnsley shirt.

    Really? I'd love him to come here. No chance though!

    That's putting it mildly. Funniest moment of the half, when Walker ran diagonally across the pitch with the ball, ignoring several pass options, then passed it straight into touch.

    He's a sprinter, that's all. No idea what to do with the ball when he gets in the final third. Last player I'd want at Oakwell.

    He's nailed on for a hat-trick now, obviously. :D

    Walker has been really poor.....i do think hes a liability and gets away with loads due to his pace.

    How many times in the last 3 years have we said, Walker isn't having a great game? He considered retiring from international football after making an error in a Nations League game last year iirc.

    I think Kane has been very isolated. There hasn't been much quality in the final third, particularly from Sterling. Mount and Foden seem good at creating space, but the final ball hasn't been good enough.

    Need to work the booked centre half now, maybe add more pace. Expect to see James, Rashford and Grealish. Their left side needs exploiting, Perisic won't last 90 minutes. The ex Everton lad Vladic will replace him or the lad from Wolfsburg. Neither have great off the ball defensive skills.

    Great first half there. Managed to get a 20 minute nap. Now for the second half ...

    I am not being funny but what has that got to do with Southgate adopting Vals tactics which my comment was about ?

    Is it just me, but after watching a season of Barnsley simply not allowing the ball being in our own half and promptly getting into the opponents half, I feel I am so impatient watching a side passing it predominantly sidewards and backwards.

    I am really conditioned to want them to get the ball upfield and put the opposition under more pressure.

    Surely this thread should be called Colliers vs Croatia. Oh, hang on…
