Some piss poor refereeing at times. Sorry I keep banging on about it but the ref let a lot of Tunisia piss taking go on without taking any action. Harry Kane is pure class.
A bit of quality makes the difference. Decent subs by Southgate with Rashford & Loftus Cheek bringing a bit of energy. Tunisia didn’ t deserve anything from the game. Hopefully, there will be less midges in the next game against Novogorod & England can play with the zip they started this game with. They have to take their chances when they arrive to get through to later rounds.
Non penalties should be investigated further...those are two outrageous decision by ref and VAR. We won so it's not sour grapes. The 2nd one the guy has his arm around Kane's neck!
Thought we had been bloody unlucky, managing to concede when they hadn’t even had a chance. Kept going against a team with 11 behind the ball and trying desperately to slow the game down. Got our just results.
Lot of pressure taken off with that late goal.
Positives - Kane, a striker who scores goals at the top level, Trippier, Henderson, team spirit, resilience, dubs making a difference
Negatives - soft at the back, Young having to cut in the whole time, Alli / Sterling little impact, inability to take chances. First and last of those could be a major factor for us

Think one of Alli or Sterling needs to be dropped for the next game in favour of Rashford ...or both and start Rashford and Loftus Cheek.
Those two came on and made things happen just as it looked like the team were running out of ideas.
I don't want to jump on Alli and Sterling because I rate them as very good players. Maybe Gareth will go with them for the game against Panama and then see what Rashford/RLC can do against Belgium when (hopefully) qualification is already secured.

It’s more that scoring a last minute goal is totally ‘Un England’
It’s usually the other way round
Rashford has to start the next game over him! No brainer!
The modern day John Barnes, great for City, lost in an England shirt!
Go on boys!
We weren't good enough, but we nicked a winner and we move on to the next game.
COME ON ENGLAND! IT'S COMING HOME!
Now let's beat Panama and go from there.

Rose for Young
For next game
