The Czechs were launching it from distance, and the source of their best chance. Structurally, we were sound, we looked quite good, if not particularly special. Germany had more shots than France, but you’d be hard pressed to find anyone who genuinely thought Germany were the better team.
Far too much reactionary opinions from a lot of England fans across the board. 7 pts in the group stage is a good return and sets up with a home tie at Wembley.
Tough opposition, but we have to play someone good at some point!

I ask again how does what a poor manager does next week have to do if Shaw the best left back in the pl last year is poor?
Even for weirdo who posts 100000000 different opinions a day in an attempt to seem like he has a clue this a weird flex.

Few thoughts on
I think this is the crux of it really.
He's insistent on sitting back in order to grind out results when we're in front, however our back line just won't be good enough to sustain that against the competition's better sides - the warning signs are already there in the past two matches and that's against relatively inferior opposition.
If the game plan doesn't change - which I highly doubt it will - we'll be very fortunate to get through to the QFs.

Morning big Dave I’m excited to watch you make a c**t of yourself again todayanyway yeah Shaw is pony Son
How much do you wanna bet Trippier starts ahead of shaw ??
Shaw was decent last night, especially second half getting forward. Wouldn’t be surprised if southgate goes safer option with Trippier next game but Shaws in with a shout after last night

Few thoughts on the game now the dust has settled:
1. it’s clear the gameplan is to get a goal and try and protect our lead and I think that Southgate has used the games vs Croatia and Czech to fine tune this, although it concerns me. Czech in particular had some half decent chances in the first half, and if that Soucek chance falls to Benzema or Griezmann then we’d be fucked. Much like Cov, sitting back is not the best option.
2. Grealish and Saka were both really impressive, particularly when we were looking more dominant in the first 30 minutes or so. Saka’s defensive work as well was of huge benefit. Surprised me how little defensive work Sterling does considering the manager puts so much emphasis on defensive contribution. Most of their threat came down our left when neither Grealish or Sterling tracked back.
3. Henderson coming on gave us much more forward thrust with his passing range, albeit at a time when we were less enthused about going forward. However, he looked leggy. If he’s properly fit I think he needs to start but I don’t think he is.

That is a strategy that was very well suited to the famous Italian sides of the 80s and 90s, I question how suited it is to our crop of players.

Your a cringeworthy mess David
"Your" vs. "You're": Choosing The Right Word
If "your" and "you're" usually trip you up, have no fear! Here's a useful guide on the difference between the two terms, because English is hard enough.
