We contributed in making a bore fest too imo. The world class players have to find a way to break these teams down. Instead it was just sideway passes and playing for set pieces. Not saying it's easy to do but for the praise these lot get they should be criticised when they fall short

I think you're right but there's no way he was offside

I think he might be referring to the Konsa one after that. Seemed to lunge in and took the man

It seems like Bellingham got away with putting his hand over his mouth which Almiron was sent off for. At least it's not just the premier league who are inconsistent with their rules The ref and var did us a solid last night

I don't think there will be too much negativity in the media to be honest. We didn't lose and we're comfortable in the group

This is vile. Got no problem sweating my bollocks off in the day but a night time it's really grim

The same people saying you can't rotate the likes of Kane and Bellingham etc are the same ones that will be blaming tiredness and too many game when get passed off the park against the likes of Spain etc later on in the tournament Just like Leicester, keep doing the same thing and expecting different results

Where did I say get rid? Are you alright?

But what did Kane and Bellingham do in that game to suggest they'll beat another team playing a low block? I think the drop off from Kane to Watkins is admittedly quite big when Kanes on it but wouldn't have any qualms with Rogers starting over Bellingham Also opening the door for some of these players might benefit us in the long run. They'll be even more eager to impress and it's game time for if they're needed further on in the tournament due to injury or whatever I know Kane won't be dropped and I get it but maybe we should learn from previous tournaments

Yeah absolutely. If it is just a blip then better to have it now after an impressive first game. The pessimistic side of me thinks that might chip away at the belief a little though, although better opposition won't be quite so defensive. I don't rate some of our players quite as highly as most and I do think we'll struggle against the likes of France, Spain, Argentina etc. I just think their match winning players turn up more regularly for their country This isn't a result to catastrophise over but we do need to learn from it and sharpish

Surely it'll be Saka and Rashford starting next game. Maybe rest Kane and Bellingham for Watkins and Rogers too Oh and O'Reilly for Spence

I thought as much

Why can't you chat about a football game without snowflakes like you getting upset at differing opinions. I've not seen one person say anything along the lines of we can't win the world cup. It was a poor performance and has talking points around that Ultimately it's a point that pretty much secures qualification to the next round so the criticism shouldn't be too over the top but there is justification for there to be some

What do you expect them to do? Roll over so we can tickle their bellies It's down to the better team to find a way and we failed and should've lost really. The ref has done us a massive favour

Haven't seen a single person say that. Until the Kane miss they had the best chance of the game. Not like we peppered them

Why are you obsessed with what Ghana go on to do?

It does happen, but those teams are also criticised when it does. It isn't the end of the world by any stretch of the imagination but can't pretend it was good Hopefully we learn something from it

And then have absolutely no answers when we come up against real quality. Surely we want to break old patterns of what we're happy with else we might as well have kept Southgate on

Don't care about Ghana. We were poor tonight

Nobody wanted another minute of that

I guess if you're gonna have a shitter it might as well be now after winning the first game. No excuses against Panama though

What's Kane moaning about? You've done f all today lad

Playing for corners a la Arsenal

no obviously not. But he is erratic. 9 times out of 10 he seems to get away with it though

I must admit I don't watch England games other than major tournaments but I always hear people say he never lets England down but whenever I see him he's a bomb scare
