He was anticipating contact so he moved his foot, then immediately got up and told the ref that it wasn’t a foul 

 

He dived. He admitted there was no foul after there had been nothing close to contact. I assume he did so because he knew if it had gone to VAR he would have been booked.

I thought this, but then I watched Maguire's Lions Den interview. He whispers just as much as Claude..

What does that have to do with anything?

 

David Beckham was England's captain ahead of plenty of motor mouths because he lead by example.

I don't think Morgan is very vocal either, but I thought the reason we didn't like GKs and strikers as captains was that they needed to be able to direct the action in front of them?

He was good tonight. Loved that he told the penalty the foul on him was NOT a penalty. Fair play, a great lad and player!

I'm a massive fan, but it was such a blatant dive the only thing on his mind i suspect was to avoid getting booked

I expect every player to do that job.

 

If we're only having one person doing all the talking then we'd be in a right mess.

 

For me, the captain leads by example. Such as Kane for England.

Yeah on second viewing it really was a dive of epic proportions! He only did the finger to avoid getting booked himself ha ha ha.

 

Still love our Harry :)!

Henderson should be the England captain. He's been class 

Harry Kane keeps it for me. As much as he's mocked on here, you cannot argue he leads by example. Best player on the pitch last night, followed by Maguire and Hendo. They were streets ahead of the other outfield players. Kane was a man possessed yesterday and did it all whilst carrying 2 passengers in Lingard and Sterling.

Knock off the CL and I would agree.

It's him or Dier, and Dier makes Hendo look like Xavi.

 

Frustrated he gets the 'penalty hero' tag.

Kane is having a great tournament and leading by example, I agree and it's not a criticism or anything like that towards Kane because he's doing brilliant. Just feel that Henderson is more of a traditional captain.

I must admit I agree.  Never liked him and obviously our title winning season made him a bit of a pantomime villain round these parts but he was sensational last night and has been all tournament. Drew fouls, held up the ball, kept his head, never got involved with the silly stuff, talked to our players (alongside Young) to calm them down.   It pains me to say it but he appears to be the real deal and is looking, dare I say it, "world class".

Devil’s advocate time again.

Did you see which of our defenders the Colombian rose above to head their equalizer?

For a big bloke, Harry gets beat too easily in the air. We saw this too often last season. 

For him to become a top class centre back, he must improve this aspect of his game.

Sorry, I know he’s one of ours and is a bloody star, but this shouldn’t be overlooked.

Partially agree, but no player is perfect and the rest of his game is moving in the right direction for him to be a star. Probably could do with adding a few more goals as well but that can quickly change season on season anyway.

True. He's had to work extra hard because Alli hasn't turned up yet.

 

But I wish Henderson hadn't got sucked in to retaliating. Pointless booking and poor example to team. Everybody else kept cool but they got into his head. Maybe led to penalty miss. Not captain material for me.
