PaulC Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 Been ok, we had a good spell, Foden unlucky but not on the ball enough. Trippier looks lost on the left. Sterling has made some great runs but his technique has let him down. Phillips good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awol Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 Phillips was such a miss for us 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jareth Posted June 13, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted June 13, 2021 Sterling has been fine - just wish we could see Jack on in second half as he'll offer something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fun Factory Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 Decent first 15 slowed down a lot maybe due to the heat. Just need a flash of quality from Foden, Kane or Grealish (?!) in the second half. Do you know that Croatia have the 11th highest average height in the world with the average male height 5ft 11.6 inches? Your useless trivia stat of the day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sterlings shot summed up the rest of the half. lol It’s not been terrible, I’ll give them that. I thought we’d get overrun by Croatia so it’s pleasing that we’ve had the upper hand.

The_Steve Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 I hope other fans' blind hatred of us and Mings doesn't overshadow just how good his ball playing distribution is to start attacking moves. No other England defender does it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcow Posted June 13, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted June 13, 2021 Fair play, half time analysis of how good Mings has been. Ferdinand full of praise. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theboyangel Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 Mings, Foden, Phillips all very good. Rice, Mount and Kane anonymous Walker and Sterling garbage. it’s a solid 5/10 performance so far but Southgate will surely change that in the second half… Spoiler To a 4/10 performance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the club could go back, they’d drop the extra 10m needed or whatever it was. I don’t think he’s amazing, but he’s levels above Luiz and Nakamba and I love a good British spine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chappy Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 Sterling has been good to be fair to him. Phillips our best player so far. Need to get Jack on the pitch. Need someone to spark us, been pretty dull since a good opening first 10 minutes. Nice to see Mings playing well after being criticised by Rio Ferdinand pre-match for not having played in the Champions League so not understanding pressure… errr what?! Pretty sure the play off final and West Ham away game were bigger pressure than this! Fair play for the pundits highlighting him at HT though as I type. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andym Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 Sterlings runs are really good, but they are basically pointless as his first touch is so poor and gives the ball back to Croatia 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MotoMkali Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 8 minutes ago, darrenm said: I was watching an interview with Kane and Neville where Kane said he just decided that to improve his game he needed to drop deeper to get involved more. He saw Michael Jordan changed his game in that way. So he does it and no-one has ever told him not to. Does he not realise the seasons MJ actually won the title he was less involved because he had a co-star in pippen. His mega scoring seasons led to him losing to the pistons or celtics.

HKP90 Posted June 13, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted June 13, 2021 We need Foden on the ball with space in front of him. He can creat havok but they’ve cut out all supply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CVByrne Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 I think Southgate would be happy with 0 0 so I don't think he'll make attacking changes to try go win it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
