    Good first half, turgid, uninspiring second half. Serbia changed it up after half time and we didn't match them. Not good looking forward...

    Hard watch was that... How the **** Foden played 90 I'll never know with Eze and Gordon on the bench.

    We're in an excellent group for us. All the other teams are decent but teams we should beat, I can see them all being close games. Overall it's better than wiining 9-0 against Gibraltar and everyone talking about winning the tournament, it'll allow us to build up and see what works with our team.

    I hope Shaw is back, we'll destroy everyone then.

    I thought the “teams we should beat” bollocks went in the bin years ago tbh.

    Well, apart from Scotland obviously

    A win but felt depressing due to the confirmation we won't be troubling the trophy engraver. It's the hope that kills.

    We should defo be qualifying from this group. You may be right about building up. My worry is the harder the opposition becomes (in the knockouts) the more we'll play this way.

    I don't mind having a defensive approach when needed, my problem is I didn't see any identity or style going forward. If you could see that at least you can say, ok we had to defend but we had our chances going forward and created plenty. That is what's so disappointing. We created fck all and hardly opened them up.

    I think England will go quite far tbh.

    Some proper gems in that team, it's purely down to how **** Southgate is.

    It’ll always be defensive under this dope.

    Watching how Nagelsmann utilised his midfield and attack the other night and then seeing how Southgate uses his is ****ing depressing.

    He’s been an anchor weighing us down for years but because there’s enough quality in the team to still do well even with his ****e tactics the media and FA thinks he does a good job.

    Yeh it's a quality squad. Left back is causing us all sorts of problems but otherwise it's bloody strong and technically very good. Shame about Southgate.

    Kind of win that suggests nothing will change

    once we meet a team a tier above the Serbians we will get put in our place

    simple

    Seen it any a time

    Cesc is sitting there smiling, thinking the same but won't say it. Hence the smiling.

    We still got the mighty Cole Palmer to start yet. Not forgetting Eze and Toney. Let's not play our cards all at once, slowly slowly.

    Hopefully the Germans peaked too soon, afterall it was only Scotland.
