Need a sub in the next 5 minutes urgently.

How can he not see this Trippier experiment isn’t working?!??!

Croydon

We're allowing them to grow into this. Make a fucking change Gareth, put some spark on the pitch before it's too late

ForeverAddickted

Yeaa dont start Sterling 

Laddick01

All Phillips that. Has been sensational today.

North Lower Neil

I thought everyone was underwhelmed with him starting too?

Good pass and finish that. The game might get a bit of life about it now.

The Red Robin

Absolute class.

DaveMehmet

FFS, I was having a piss

Cafc43v3r

Brilliant by Kalvin Phillips. 

Callumcafc

Quality play by Phillips.

A little bit more patience required from the whole country I think.

Andyessgee90

Gareth the master tactician. 

Mendonca In Asdas

Get in Raheem!

Chunes

Phillips to Sterling!! Brilliant. Well-worked goal

Think the worry was he was going to play deep. The one thing we have got right today is allowing Phillips freedom.

He’s surprised me how good he is in that role.

The Red Robin

Phillips is so underrated by a lot of people in this country. We’ve needed a player like him for a long time. 

ForeverAddickted

Now lets try and exploit the space that Croatia will surely create 

Croydon

GET IN

He’s been allowed a much more advanced role than most people anticipated. Been more like a 4-1-4-1 than a 4-2-3-1 today.

Phillips showing a whole different side to his game today, a great driving run for that goal

Agree JJ, Phillips has been good and played further forward than any one thought.

SELR_addicks

Sterling and Phillips best two players in the team. 

Both gambles from Southgate that have paid him back

I think he was underrated by me before this game, he’s been bloody brilliant!

Pleased for Sterling too, will be interesting to see how the media manage to put a negative spin on it in tomorrow’s paper!
