That penalty was very good, his shooting technique has improved a lot. Can see him scoring few goals from outside the box like he did against Burton. His shooting is like Ronaldo's(obvious not as good).
He was only on for two minutes. I thought he was just happy to have made it to the semi’s, really hope he’s not injured.
Wonder if he pulled something chasing back at full tilt when he made a tackle. Hope hes not injured, really want him to get a chance in this world cup.I can't imagine him crying about getting in the semis and having staff around him?

Down in tears at the end of the game and had 2 members of staff with him. I noticed right at the end of the game he could have made a run into the corner for Lingard but he was reluctant to sprint. Possible injury? Note this a pure guess so nobody take my head off please.

He's fine. Check his twuTwitHope he is ok.
Hardly jogging out there.
Compared to Raheem who didn't give Vida a moment's rest.
It's allowing Croatia to build from the back.
Sterling didnt do anything in the 2nd half? First half was a different game, croatia took control long before the sub.Hardly jogging out there.

Maybe the better sub was Vardy then.He needs the ball to feet to run with. Different type of game.
He was tired.Sterling didnt do anything in the 2nd half? First half was a different game, croatia took control long before the sub.
Nah I think it was just Croatia being rattled in the first half. They changed in the 2nd half, wouldnt put that down to tiredness.He was tired.
But the pressing he did affected how Croatia played and they hardly created anything.

Mbappe will run rings around them I reckon.I disagree.
This Croatian defense does look like it's bothered by pace. Not the most mobile. The balls from midfield over the top were causing them trouble.
Wonder how they will do against Mbappe.
Maybe he's asked to play off of the last man or float around looking for space between the centrebacks though?Hardly jogging out there.

Sterling was the only player pressing and Croatia passed around him in the second half.
Maybe Gareth thinks the energy isn't there for a press anymore.
He needed one more year of someone like LVG. Mourinho is not the right coach for him. Maybe McKenna can help him a bit.Still green as fcuk I'm afraid. Think Mourinho was justified to use him as he did last season.
Needs to keep working to develop himself.
Was dead on his feet.Sterling should've stayed on really.
Rashford was a bit crap when he came on wasn't he??Team needs a goal and he floats in across instead of whipping it in with pace?He did it twice.Crap.
I was actually pretty surprised he didn’t do his usual from set pieces take a shot on and put it in row Z. So the fact he even tried to put it in an area for someone is an improvement in my books. The rest yeah kinda agree with, the difference between how Mbappe travels with a ball and Rashford is night and day.And this is why I've said all tournament long that Sterling should play. One has natural dribbling ability, the other has to use his pace because to compensate for the lack of it.
He's such a weird player, has some good technical play in him, but his decision making is absolutely dreadful. Keeps trying to dribble the whole team, and those two freekicks at the end were absolutely dreadful, zero pace on them at all. We've seen it all season long with Rashford that he's a good player but in no world is he close to being a starter.
