Kane took that well. But I’m not sure that a penalty. He was offside and wouldn’t have got ball

Looked a different team with Grealish and Bowen on. I hope Southgate picks players on form going into World Cup not his favourites

Trying to keep it tight and nick a goal is about the opposite of the strengths of the players he has. Let the shackles off, accept that Maguire will be garbage no matter how many holding midfielders are in front of him, and rack up some goals

England have to change their approach because we are so much better when we have a go
Exactly. At least Grealish doesn't know how to play any other way. The likes of Mount and Saka are set different roles to their club games, where they are given more freedom there. Much more restrained for England.

As I said before the Euros, we have a horribly unbalanced squad, always going to be difficult to turn that into a team to win the big ones.

I would always pick Foden ahead of Mount and I really think we need to replace Maguire. Tomori won the league title in Italy and deserves a chance in the back four.

I don't like Trippier at left back either.

Quite enjoyed the game Neuer kept them in it 🤣
We played well for the last 15 mins. Germany should have been out of sight by then though.

Bellingham, Grealish and Rice played well. Everyone else was sub par.

One thing I noticed tonight

Why did Germany only have two stars above their badge?

My only guess would be that they’re classing World Cups they have won as a unified Germany as opposed to West Germany, but that seems an odd thing to do

Functional choices unfortunately. You can’t knock Southgate for what he’s done with England but it’s so frustrating when even his attacking are picked for defensive qualities. Mounts no doubt a quality player but for me, he’s not a front three player (especially when you’ve got a couple of holders) and that’s where Southgate insists on playing him.

What I couldn’t understand at corners - Saka was off the pitch so technically down to 10 men he made a dummy at the ball then raced to get somewhere near the penalty area - what a waste of time and energy
