    One game at a time, we were good last night and stopped Wales playing. If we had done that against USA it would have been a different outcome, but we let them dictate the match. 

    We should beat Senegal, but they do have some good players so we need to be on our guard, no time for any sloppy performances now as that will be the end of it. 

    In a one-off game we shouldn't fear anyone (Brazil/France), so let's enjoy the ride and hope it's a long one! 

    Come on England!

    I still don't believe that we are using Foden to the best of his capabilities out wide and that we will need his ability on the ball and to be able to see a pass in a more central position. So the only change I would make from yesterday's team is to replace Henderson with Saka or Sterling and have Foden in a midfield three with Rice and Bellingham.

    Yeah i think we could have tried that in one of the group games. Not sure now as it's a risk as he is not very defensive minded, although he does track back. 

    I think in time he will play the KDB role, but i don't see Southgate risking ahead of Mount or Henderson who have both played this role alot more, i can see them sticking with Henderson. The only potential change is Sterling in for one of Foden/Rashford and the other being used as a sub but i don't think the fans would like that. 

    Same team barring injury Sunday, also wouldn't be too disappointed if Phillips came in and if he was match fit.

    Foden rarely plays centrally in midfield for Man City though.

    Over the last two seasons, its either been as their central striker (Haaland can do that now), or out on the Left

    When the commentators said yesterday in the first half, that it was Man Utd down the left (Shaw and Rashford) | Man City down the right (Walker | Foden), I thought Southgate was being pretty clever at the time doing that - However think he was too smart for his own good, and when Foden was switched to the left for the 2nd half, we finally started to see the Man City version of him.

    Just be interesting now to see if Southgate sticks with that, or whether he reverts back to Sterling.

    Foden not starting regularly in a central three is as much to do with the three that are in situ namely Rodri (13 starts from 14 games), KDB (13) and Bernardo Silva (12). Those three are going to be very difficult to displace but I'm sure, eventually, that Foden will regularly play there for City. For England, I would rather see Foden there (or Maddison for that matter) than Mount or Henderson.

    The start of the second half Rashford and Foden did switch with immediate result and  when Grealish came on and went left wide, Foden went central but with licence to wander as the game was won.

    We really are spoilt for choice in attacking areas arent we. Considering we've scored 9 goals and arguably our best ever striker isn't one of them, is ridiculous.

    One thing that could be good for us is that there is a 6 day gap (we play 4th and 10th Dec) between our last 16 and quarter final matches if we make it.

    Not sure how the schedulers worked that out given some sides play 5th and 9th and 6th and 10th.

    With all the interchangeable options in attacking areas, and his excellent form so far, Maguire is now one of the first names on the teamsheet.

    So if we get to a penalty shootout who takes them:

    Kane
    Saka
    Trippier
    Foden
    Henderson
    Maddison
    Wilson
    Mount

    Not that order but top 5 would be in maybe if Maddison/ Wilson on they could replace

    Could throw Grealish in there, he wanted to take one against Italy

    I think he has missed his last few, maybe Maguire could be in there too really depends who is on the pitch so i thought it could create a could debate.

    Maguire took one of the best penalties you'll ever see in that Italy shoot out.

    Maguire could be a great shot... Scored a great one in that shootout

    I'll fuck with their heads and have Pickford up first. He scores then every other player including the opposition goalkeeper will feel the pressure plus it gives Pickford a right boost.

    He could well be a sound choice although I can't get out of my head a vision of him hitting one into Row Z following that overhit cross of his last night!

    Is there anyone in the squad you actively wouldn't want to take one?

    Anyone who comes off the bench specifically to take one

    How many keepers have we got on the bench 2, 3? Bring them on and make them take the penalties.

    First 3 pens by keepers then I guess we'll have to let those outfield players have a go.

    Henderson might not be the most technically gifted but I don’t think there’s any other player on our squad that has the engine he has. Against Wales you could hear him really firing the others up on the pitch. Need to get that balance of ability/leadership/workman on the pitch which is the difficult part.

    Lots of misplaced passes in the first 10 mins of the Australia v Denmark match. Nerves from both teams.
