I think Phillips and Rice have been great and that's why Hendo is still in the bench

Don’t see it. Phillips was good v Croatia but been poor rest of the tournament. Rice has been ok, I guess a solid 6/7 out of 10 each game. No huge mistakes but neither of them have offered anything with forward passing n
 
Quality finish from Shaw that. Caught it from
a difficult half volley.
 
Rice is all about off the ball. Running and closing space.

Phillip's is generally doing the same higher up slightly but runs and press and close down.

That is all southgate wants.

That's why saka is preferred to grealish. Runs more, works more, is strong.
 
I'm not watching another 60 minutes of this ****e.

I refuse to applaud any team that plays with the same tactics as Burnley
 
Needs Henderson for the vision and ability to play the cross field ball to get England forward.

Rice and Phillips are too short passing.

Tripper stood all on his own on the right in acres of free space and Rice decides to squeeze it back down the packed left.

Bring Hendo in for Phillips and Rice (best player on the pitch so far) as to be more reserved. Put him on for Rice and it's just plain crazy.
