    Imagine your number 10 being your best defender.

    Guehi and Konsa don't fill me with confidence. 
    Both good players but not a good pairing it seems. Definitely a case for Stones coming on.

    Thank fuck for Bellingham.

    Great save by Pickford to stop the equaliser.
    Then from the corner Bellingham hooks clear.
    Mexico are full of energy.

    Konsa looks out of his depth sad to say

    Give Bellingham a knighthood. 

    Haven't seen a one-man army like this since Beckham v Greece.

    Great Edwards special from Gordon

    Gordon has played well when he's had to.

    He’d 1000% give away a penalty grappling

    Phew... Half-Time... More nerving than it needs to, what a game if you're a neutral
    This feels like the Blackburn game @ Ewood Park last season

    Happy it's gone our way but how on earth is that a foul on Gordon? He's jumped into the Mexican player

    Just make Bellingham King at those point. Knighthood not even close to being enough

    Need to sort this defending out, Mexican players being left in acres of space in the penalty area on set pieces. Cant see us keeping them out for another 45 if that keeps happening.

    First 40 mins were fantastic, last 10 were ropey

    2-1 but Mexico could easily be level. They do look sharper than us. Subs going to be really important in this game

    What a half to watch. Mexico are ruthless in possession. We've shown how quickly we can counter. 

    These have been the best we have played so far.

    Once again, you’d love a bit of Harry Maguire marshalling the back line here.

    Gordon, Pickford and obviously Jude all outstanding.

    Survive the first 10 and hit them on the counter. 

    Can’t believe I’m saying it but Madueke on the counter could be an option.

    Mental half of football. Mexico could be 5-2 up. Shows we can score goals but we need to tighten up and keep the ball better.

    Important regroup and some defensive tweaks needed at halftime. 

    Very happy to be leading at the break. Lucky to be doing so.
