    There is no way a tournament winning side has Marc Guehi, Ezri Konsa, Lewis Dunk etc as centre back options. I think we need a real reality check in expectations. No way in a million years should we be anywhere near favourites.

    Tough to know how much to read into it, and i know the defence will change a bit, but this is poor - that defence are not winning the Euros

    Zero pressure on their bloke in the middle of the pitch. Where’s Rice and Mainoo?

    That’s just betting. Does anyone who understands football actually think we are going to win the tournament?

    This team would literally do well to finish top ten in the prem.

    If he didn't play for Man United would a 19 year old that has played 24 Premier League games be in the starting 11 in such an important role, after only starting 1 England game before?

    Massive overreaction will follow, but don’t mind curbing the enthusiasm We got Bellingham to come back and tournament football at a higher intensity will help. We put 6 past Iran first game last time. Shite but roll on next Sunday.

    Great with the ball but is he showing that he can control a game and break down opposition play? 

    Hasn't shown that here. He's playing defensive mid after all.

    Yeah, I remember you saying something similar about 19 year old Bukayo Saka in 2020
    This was when he’d had just one full season and two England friendlies before playing in the nations league for England. Then just one more international friendly before being a regular starter in the euros. Where we finished as runners up.

    Oh no. You didn’t. Because he’s Arsenal.

    1. He'd played two full seasons before the Euros. 
    2. He didn't play the first two games in those Euros and got a chance after the poor Scotland performance, Foden started ahead of him.

    He’s been poor tonight. Would not be in my starting line up against Serbia.

    Hardly anyone played well tonight. Will be a kick up the backside before the real thing.

    I'd have us as third or fourth most likely - still think France v Germany final, and Portugal and us maybe the other semi finalists.

    There's no standout team thus year, and despite tonight we've still got a decent chance - think the attack will come good, despite tonight, but the defence still worries me!
