I'm not disagreeing with any of that bud, as for beating Wales & Iran, we can only beat who are in front of us, even if Senegal had Kouyate, Mane & Gueye I reckon we'd still have won, comfortably in the end. The only issue I had in first half was lack of options leading to silly balls and unnecessary risks. No problems with starting steady & safe, just need to cut those mistakes out & show for the ball when our defence needs someone
Good performance. We were sluggish to start and a better team takes at least one of those chances but the quality in attack told in the end. Bellingham really showed his qualities he’s got a great future. Match against France could go either way. 2 teams better at attacking than defending. If we get through that there’s nothing to fear but undoubtedly the French will feel the same
If we beat France, I think we'll win it all. Stop the ball getting to Mbappe we have a big chance, their right side of defence was poor today so can easily exploit it
I suspect lots of teams have tried stopping the ball going to Mbappe… They are beatable though but then again so are we. Should be a good game.
Raheem’s house has been done a couple of times. Must be serious, if he’s left the team. Hope he comes back. Still has a role to play..
Really enjoying the performances of Bellingham and Foden - all our best stuff seems to come through one or both of them and their interplay is probably the one true world class attacking threat we have. Southgate needs to make sure he doesn't have Foden pinned to the touchline and allows him the freedom of movement which was evident when we improved after the first half hour or so. It's so uplifting to have two genuine world class talents in the team.
There's way more than 2 world class players in that squad.. I don't think Southgate is the problem. it depends how much the players want it. if they were skint, they'd do it..
