Hurry up half time

need to whack my Agassi o on

fancy a latte

England playing ****e they need HT to wake n bake
 
called it mate

everyone forgot that there are world class moments in players like Dembele, Griezmann, Giroud.

one of them will do the damage as has already been proven

He's been solid throughout the tournament. Never see him lose possession and so dangerous going forward. Quality.

we not turning out 2nd half?

Just feel that chasing the game will end up benefiting Mbappe.

I'm saying first 15 min of second half now. If still one nil at hour I think we're done.

It's annoying as I actually think we've been better side. This game still can be ours with a bit of luck n determination.

Has Rice actually done anything?

Other than chase thin air all game?

Has Foden actually done anything?

Has Henderson actually done anything?

An obvious change is Henderson off and Maddison on.

Or Henderson off and Rashford on, with Foden to 10.

We do not need the 'security' in midfield against France.

We need to be attacking more.

Lets hope the subs are a tad earlier than last year's final.
 
It's such a shame that other than Belligham, not one of our players is willing to take on a player.

Opting to pass back or sideways instead.

Not really deserved to go in behind on the basis of play, moment of magic from a player none of us expected to produce as such.

I don’t think it was a pen on Kane on the basis the foul was made outside the box, an inch forward though and surely it’s given(?).

Bellingham and Henderson not doing enough for me, both also losing possession a fair bit, also not got Foden anywhere near enough in the game.

Why is Foden not running at the defence? Just seems like the players are being too cautious. No urgency. I think France (particularly their defence) are being shown a bit too much respect.
 
Don’t think we’ve been too bad.

Ref has ****ed us, a few chances, just a bit more luck required. It’s not over yet

We've played well. Can't fault Gareth or the lads. If our heads don't drop we're absolutely still in this.

Ref is honestly bent as ****ing anything. It's not an excuse as I think this game is still there for the taking for us and we've got enough about us to come through this but it has to be said just how bad he is.

Get a goal in the first ten of second half n think we'll blow them away.

UP THE ****ING INGERLAND!

Seemed to me, Saka doing a lot of work without enough support or the movement off the ball was just not sharp enough to support him. I think Saka at least could drag a pen out of them, if someone else was in there with him mixing it up.

I don’t think he’s had it enough to do so to be fair but equally he could do more to be involved. Saka’s caused them a number of problems on the other flank but just lacked that final pass or shot, I think there could be a goal in it for him or Kane though if we get it right/ have a bit of luck.

Need Bellingham to play like he done against Iran/ Senegal too, if he finds that form then we could do some serious damage once he finds any of the front three.
