Agreed, always underwhelmed by Phillips

Must read this board….

Lack of an overlap killing us on the left ffs.

Imagining Saka bombing past Sterling would be terrifying for a defender. 

Croydon

Haven't rated sterling in the final third, never finds the right ball

lancashire lad

not impressed by Kane so far, as others say we need to score, Croatia can't be as bad in 2nd half

North Lower Neil

Did he just say Sterling has 41 international goals?!

ForeverAddickted

Am surprised that Modric didnt get a free kick

Rice and Phillips not trying to occupy the same space is a big positive to what I feared when I saw the team sheet. Phillips playing more CM than CDM

Takes too many touches and slows it down.

We need to bring Johnny Williams on

Feels a bit flat.

I can’t see what we’ve got from Trippier here. We just look weak down both flanks.

Yeah Croatia being allowed to grow into it a bit more

Chunes

Yeah has gone a bit flat. Kane is having another one of those games where he lumbers around looking knackered. 

SporadicAddick

thank god for the red button - now on 5 live so not having to listen to Mowbray, whose every statement has to sound profound.

Barry Davies is still with us - bring him back. 

Bournemouth Addick

Modric starting to get into this now.

Laddick01

I can’t watch Walker another tournament. I’ve suffered too much.

Chunes

Kyle Walker...... 🤦

Jessie

What is wrong with Walker today?.......

MrOneLung

first 20 minutes the highlight of our tournament 

gone really flat now. 

Laddick01

Shaw on, Trippier to RB and Grealish on for Sterling.

Too disjointed.

cfgs

Highlight of the game so far is that the "England Band" aren't there.

North Lower Neil

Croatia realising there's a big gap between our back 6 and the 4 further forward to play in.

Leuth

PWR

Booing the Croats every time they have possession is completely pathetic

Chunes

He's done it again   

moutuakilla

Walker has been woeful so far

Cafctekkers

That's 3 poor passes from walker in this first half
