About all he did for the last 2 games.
About all he did for the last 2 games.Kane hit the post
He made the run and spotted it and finished it well. We would have run it into the corner and passed it across the outside of the box 5 times.Mandzukic could only have missed if he had Sterling's boots on
7-1 shots on target tells astory really. Think defensively were were exposed somewhat, & the French may have annihilated us & destroyed the squad's confidence moving forward.
As critical as I have been about Sterling...it was quite glaring once he went off. His workrate chasing down derenders was fantastic. And nobody took threatening runs at their defence either. That is why the pundits like him I reckon, so fair play to them & him.
BUT massive respect to Southgate & the squad, massively surpassed expectations & have put the pride back into English football for international football.

Pickford especially, Macguire & Henderson have been really impressive throughout for me.Yeah but they didn't trouble from them. That was my point about finishing.
They also hit the post and forced Pickford into a save. He has saved us a fair few times.
We did. We looked well in control.Kane and Lyngard missed easy chances - we controlled the first 45 minutes
Why deny them a bit more international experience?

You are on a real downer...we all are. Imagine how those guys feel - especially those that have not had much of a look-in. Let them have their day. If they lose - they lose. If they win, it is a bit more pride to bring back with the squadVardy deserves a full 90 minutes but I have no interest in watching the battle of the losers
Agree.I’d imagine from tonight both full backs won’t play, Sterling, and one of Alli and Lingard won’t either.
I thought Sterling started off really brightly tonight, but he did fade rather quickly.I think we can take a hell of a lot of positives from this tournament, but there are some question marks over certain players.
Trippier, Maguire, Pickford have stood out for me.
Lingard and Alli have blown hot and cold but have made it count at certain times. Kane, again important presence but ultimately went missing in a lot of games, as did Henderson. Sterling, well what's the point. He still hasn't won me over and I don't even see his biggest apologists defending him tonight.
I was really proud of how far we have gone this tournament but to go out like that is really frustrating. We should have done so much better today!
That came up on the screen in extra time. Might have been referring to just extra time tbh.Where are those stats from as England scored and Stones had a header cleared off the line. (Kane’s obviously doesn’t count as it hit the post.)
Wasn't as effective...but overall has done very well imoThought Henderson was poor tonight.

No, agree. Just think tonight he didn't play well. Not sure if it was the instruction (guessing it was), but he hardly got near Modric all night.Wasn't as effective...but overall has done very well imo

Yup. I was one of them.People on here said „not Southgate“ „ please not“ ( if I recall rightly... and I am pissed now )...
You aving a laugh ? he was shite apart from the first 10 minsWe lost with sterling off pitch..

The answer will be to reduce the size of the PL and abolish a domestic cup competition to stop the poor lambs from getting tiredYep. Great to get to a semi-final, but we haven't been brilliant by a long chalk.
Kane looked completely shot tonight and so many players looked tired. That needs looking into, because the assumption was that Croatia would be the tiring side, not us, but they just kept going and going and going, while we looked so, so leggy.
Alli was anonymous, Kane wasn't himself, Lingard flitted in and out, Young had a poor game, as did Henderson.
No idea why we just decided to sit off Modric and let him play.
You watch France constantly close him down on Sunday and pressurise him.
Yep! I have openly said I didn't think he was the man for the job. Hands up...respect to him. He has done what only Alf Ramsey & Booby Robson have done for English football before him.People on here said „not Southgate“ „ please not“ ( if I recall rightly... and I am pissed now )...
Spelling lessons?He was good for first half like ecery1 else
Let this be a lesson to the football chavs. Careful what you wish for
Which is the way he more often than not used to play for England.I don't know if it's just me but this was my observation: First half he was getting in behind, giving them plenty to think about. His pace had them frightened, bit like the Sweden game. Second half he seemed to start coming deeper again, which completely negated his pace.
Cahill is only experienced in being shiteStones showed his inexperience by not picking up his marker. Maybe Cahill would have offered an experienced head amongst an inexperienced back three?
As I said earlier...You aving a laugh ? he was shite apart from the first 10 mins
Does he fuck. He shouldn't be anywhere near that squad. Poor old Welbeck deserves a run out, better record than most of the current strikers yet ignored for that pub player.Vardy deserves a full 90 minutes but I have no interest in watching the battle of the losers
Agreed.Does he fuck. He shouldn't be anywhere near that squad. Poor old Welbeck deserves a run out, better record than most of the current strikers yet ignored for that pub player.
Agree and i've defended Stirling (even tho there wasn't a better option). Its all hindsight now but i wish Southgate would of been braver and beefed up the midfield but hey ho its all a load of bollox...I think we can take a hell of a lot of positives from this tournament, but there are some question marks over certain players.
