The tactical genius that is Gareth Southgate.

Papering over the cracks.

 

This is more about Germany imploding.

some turnaround to be fair

Very bad tackle on his shin. Should be a penalty for sure. 

They showed the reverse angle once and I'm not sure there was contact.

They were actually good subs. Saka coming on has allowed James to get more involved, and Mount has had an impact. Been able to get Bellingham further up too. 

I like Phil Foden but he just hasn’t seemed to have clicked in an England shirt. 
 

sure I have seen reds for tackles like that - could have really hurt him 

[LcFc_Smiv]

Is it just me or did Kane actually look like Southgate as he runs to the corner there

Really? I need to look closer if so!

That's what I'm seeing. Germany are headless and seem to have lost the plot.

The angle from behind looked clear, but the one from the side looked like he took the ball first then barely touched Bellingham. They only it showed it once, so I could be wrong.

Bloody hell Pope, all that hard work

 

[Wymsey]

Poor by Pope, and he knows it.

 

[SouthStandUpperTier]

Pope 

[taupe]

Just as Pope comes to their rescue!

Barely touched? What the hell did you see

The other angle only once!

That 4 minutes where it was coming home were glorious.

Only thing to take from these games has been that Bellingham should now be a nailed on starter.

And Saka at RW.

Superb footballer, that lad has some technique 

[StanSP]

Entertaining second half. 

 

England have to start games on the front foot more often. Can see how good they can be with that turnaround before Pope's mess up. 

[SouthStandUpperTier]

Good entertainment. Dubious quality. Lots of mistakes. 

[Tielemans63]

It won't get talked about but to be fair, Maguire has played that diagonal to the right hand side really well on a number of occasions tonight. That was quite an effective tactic, I thought.

 

Still had a mare defensively though

Well least it’s been entertaining.

Both defences need work on

Bellingham is the future of England’s central midfield.

For a 19 year old, he’s immensely composed.

Will end up at Madrid I think

It's a shame that Musiala chose Germany over England. What a central midfield partnership that could have been.
