Mancio needs to stop fecking around and throw in Chiesa already. GD is the first tie-breaker apparently so it's important to bury these farmers

Is he playing?
Quite the miss from Havertz
They have scored another now haven't they? Sane?
Not really my initial post said Tuchel is a genius for making Mason Mount look class.
I meant the third.
Who’s they? The vast majority of the PL couldn’t do it, and he had Soucek as his partner. He looked vulnerable against us, City and Liverpool but that’s hardly disgraceful for a young player. He doesn’t hide which is a superb attribute for any player
Maguire playing left wing was a fun 10 seconds.
Spurs really should have taken that City bid.
Yep. Sané also assisted the first. This break should bolster his confidence, I hope.
He doesn’t make him look class, he gets him functioning as part of a good team. That makes him good for Chelsea.
For England I’m lost as to what his role is.
Sterling isn't good enough to be as greedy as he is.
Fair play, Sterling has got every decision wrong so far.
Toaster toes Timo 
At least he's consistent.
Werner with another one for his higlight show.
Thank god for Werner!
My point was that he’s been very good so far in today’s game. Then someone wrote he always has a mistake in him, but I don’t agree he is more prone to mistakes than other CBs.
This midfield really does show it's limitations in games like this. It's okay for tournament football where nicking a goal might be enough, at least until meeting top opposition.
But a game like this that ultimately isn't going to decide anything and the opposition are just letting us pass it around, it becomes fairly redundant. One guy in Rice that is purely defensive and another in Phillips who is a water carrier, okay but afraid to try anything.

Dull game.
He's been very quiet, but to be honest, no worse than most of the other players out there.

Get Lingardinho on to win the game ffs.
Probably getting on his back more because he was crap in the euros too.
Can you be offside from a shot blocked by the opposition that the defender clears with his head?
It may be a fantastic attribute but you need more than that but are competing with the best teams and players in Europe in our league. Not only will he be up against midfields as good as he is he will be up against players levels above his ball playing ability. Even his role as a sitter is obsolete at the highest level, you have to be comfortable in all areas of the pitch especially with the modern pressing game. Think how many times it’s pointed out how pedestrian he is in an England shirt then realise its what? 6 international games a season v a potential 60 at club level
An air of desperation to prove something. Just wonder if that racist stuff in Hungary has made a bit too intense
It's gotta be frustrating being a striker and playing with sterling
Sterling best stuff is when he doesn't have the ball and can move into position for a cut back
He's usually terrible in one on ones and takes wayy too many touches unnecessarily when he's isolated a defender to take on

Looked like he tried to murder god on this one...but he`ll probably miss him.
quite a boring game between England and Poland. I expected a heck of a lot more from these two sides as they both have very good attacking players.
England are set up to draw this match and really aren't pushing numbers forward.
AS for Rice....based on our squad, i'd rather have Phillips than Rice.

Maguire hit the post.. that was a great header
Compared to our first choice options, I think he's the worst of the three.
I miss the “good” Iceland!
Greece ahead against Sweden.
feckin hell Kane looks awful.
That Kane pass he's been awful.
he's been awful.Kane abysmal today.
He was underwhelming but he wasn't outright crap from start to finish.
Big teams only care about winning, no one will care how good France played if they lose against a team they shouldn't for not scoring.
France it self should have won one WC in the 80s, and they didn't cause they choked against a german team that barely could beat Mexico on penalties.
If you think people would praise Guardiola/Wenger,etc managing France, but getting knocked out by Romania or Nigeria for wasting chances... you are very naive, and guess what? If that happens Guardiola (or whatever top manager is in charge) is most likely getting fired or resigning.
The fact that people were bashing Germany and Low when they didn't even play bad against Mexico and South Korea, but couldn't score for shit, tells you everything you need to know.
Also WC quality has been underwhelming since the 2000s, 1998 was the last WC with lot of quality, what came after that it's huge meh despiste Spain 2010 winning WC.
2010 WC had poor quality aside from Spain and Germany(also a poorly organized WC), 2014 WC was even worse, and let's not talk about 2002, who probably was the worst WC i remember...the only decent/acceptable was 2006.
I hope Chelsea beat us for Rice.
Kane channeled his inner Fred there, give Bamford another go.
