    The worst thing is that Southgate has to try and think now.

    Shearer raving about the goal <doh> .. was a simple tap in that had a lot of luck in terms of the build up and how it came off the defender to him ...

    Denmark been the better side for all but those wearing the rose tinted ... their formation is much better balanced ... because they are playing players in their right positions ...

    Woeful ...

    Only person that enjoyed that half would’ve been Southgate. Bet he had a semi for most of it.

    In all likelihood, a draw is enough to progress... Maybe even enough to top the group considering it's Slovenia next.

    Important think now is not to do anything too daft. England doesn't have to win this... They just must not lose.

    With no natural width on the left it makes it very difficult to penetrate down that side. Trippier, bless his socks, isn't able to drive and overlap down that side the way he ordinarily would. Need a winger.

    Thomas is literally sat in that studio with a 'listen to these English morons' expression on his face.

    Thought he was a bit unlucky tbh ... but has sure made up for it - indeed he's been a great outlet down that left hand side ...

    Half agree. There was a lot of luck in the build up to it but it wasn't a simple tap in. It was on his weaker foot and the ball deflected 2-3 times on the way through to him so he's having to adjust a number of times in the fraction of a second it comes ot him. He made it look very easy and I never had any doubt he'd score it but that's because he's world class.

    Kane off.
    Bellingham up top.
    Foden 10.
    Gordon LW.

    All round work rate there.

    Trent is a waste of a shirt. He needs dragged off at HT. Bellingham, Rice and Foden in the middle. Replace Trent with Gordon or Eze.

    Tell every player to stand 20 yards further up the pitch.

    No changes and then eventually he might bring on Dunk and Gallagher

    Who'd have thought playing a centre back and a right back in midfield wouldn't work out.
