    The only player you could really point to coming off is maybe Foden? Hasn't really been in the game as much as you would like him to be. 
    Kounde is predominately a CB. I love Foden but we need someone to drive at him.

    Very similar to how Joe Gomez plays for Liverpool. As soon as someone goes at Kounde he'll shit the bed.

    Rashford or Grealish would do.

    ref is either shit or bent not sure which, what’s the point of var if they don’t use it properly.

    not getting enough bodies in their box, get saka off definite weak link.

    We’ve been giving the ball away far too much
  • cfgscfgs
    Thought we were OK, their biggest threat has been mostly kept quiet. We have had chances and this is far from over. 


    Most interesting thing is the jeers greeting the refs decisions, sounds like we have a lot of the neutral support.

    Ref has been poor, but I still think build up is too slow. Think we will see Rashford and possibly Grealish second half.
  • ForeverAddicktedForeverAddickted
    The bonus is, we probably have the better depth in our squad... So if Gareth is as sensible as he has been all tournament, our subs could make the diff
  • killerandflashkillerandflash
    Agreed, I think Rashford's  directness would be more effective

    He's given a free kick for that!!!

    Genuine question, what league is the ref from? He is absolutely piss poor.
    Apprentice ref, just started in League One

    We've played well. France are just very good. Could take saka off as he's seemed hesitant 
    Looks the weakest link to me, literally weak.

    Btw don't find a replay of the foul on Saka for the goal. Sickening.

    I think if Walker was able to push on him and Saka would rip that right hand side apart. 

    At some point we just have to go for it and tell Henderson to sit back on Mbappe and foul him if France counter.

    Hopefully Grizeman will cock up and be off with a second yellow.

    Trailing but been the better side since the goal. Happy to see we don’t appear to be panicking like Portugal did earlier. As always, we look better for being more positive. Thought we were a bit tentative to begin with. Plenty to play for here.

    This isn't a game for Henderson imo.

    Looks a yard off the pace. 
    I think this also, too slow, we need to move it fast to unlock them
  • CallumcafcCallumcafc
    Next goal is crucial. If France get it, they will play spoilers and run out comfortable winners.

    We’re not out of it yet though.

    Saka is getting bullied
    Looking dangerous and getting fouled you mean?

    Any protection from the ref and he'd be doing a great job.

    Referee poor but we have looked so static.

    At times Saka has been one on one but delayed making a move until they have more cover back.  We definitely need more impetus at times

    Classic England story - we lose today we will be saying for years we would have won the World Cup were it not for this one game (which going on todays performance which has been decent against the best team) is probably true.

    Ref should even it up by sending off Griezman. Fair's fair

    Two massive bad decisions from the ref. 
  • SELR_addicksSELR_addicks
    Literally everything is going through Saka and people want to take him off? Funny stuff.

    Oh deae god... That is a clear foul on Saka!!

    The frenchman has about three bites on him
  • Leeds_AddickLeeds_Addick
    Sakas doing a decent job, running with the ball and winning free kicks

    Foden has done nothing, get Rashford on for him 
  • MrOneLungMrOneLung
    Southgate’s half time team talk has been sorted for him. 

    Use those injustices and channel it. 


  • supaclivesupaclive
    That IS a foul against Saka
    Ffs

  • MrOneLungMrOneLung
    On the plus side, we look like we can get at them 
  • ForeverAddicktedForeverAddickted
    Qatar's biggest players for PSG against each other in the World Cup final I guess 
  • CallumcafcCallumcafc
    Kane foul… inside or outside the box?
