He's still not fully recovered from his injury for us, months ago. Rushed back and hasn't looked right since.
It's the fact that Stirling is goaless which is worrying me. He is shooting when it is better too pass.
That's awful from Rebic. Clear dive, jumps back up and hacks down Young. Tried to hurt Pickford earlier, too.
They have been losing it a bit, shame the ref is not a bit more card happy, Lovern should have had two.
They've probably been told to go a bit easy in a World Cup Semi-Final. Don't want it scuppered by an early red or too many suspensions for the final. FIFA are more about the event than fairness.
Would like Alli to be pressing higher in MF (as he does for Spurs) , but perhaps Southgate has asked him to get in amongst Modric and Rakitic.
I thought Alli had a decent half, as did Trippier, Stones, Maguire, and even Sterling. Henderson needs to learn how to weight a pass, Young needs to be replaced by Rose.
So many positives, just hope the misses don't come back to bite. Young has looked out of touch (despite one great intervention), Sterling remains a complete enigma (being kind) and some of the pissing around at the back is dangerous. Dele well up for it - been at the heart of everything good for us tonight. And what's there more to say about Tripps?? DH - I salute you, my man!!
