Yeah mainoo was poor but what a talent he is, got everything to be an elite CM

Kane was a problem for England in this comp, if hes starting he needs wingers thatll run beyond a defence. He cant have the likes of foden n Bellingham in behind him. I thought bellingham was poor after the 1st game

Theres zero balance to this England team, thats why they havent put a performance in for a full match. England are a real sticky team undef Southgate, hes made them hard to beat but theres no patterns of play when they have the ball and hes loyal to a fault at times

Still a young team tho so likely to be one of the faves for the world cup

Yeah I think Bellingham’s physical strength a bit deeper would have been better against that pressure but Mainoo has done so well it would have been a hard call before the game. Maybe it was a half time call. Palmer, Saka and Foden feel like a real threat but none have Bellingham’s physicality and I think we needed that.

Apologies, I’ll just drop a message to the moderators and tell them to close the forum then because as fans we aren’t allowed to have an opinion so what’s the point in having a forum :emoticon-0102-bigsm

Stones had lost him because they all moved over when Shaw was caught out. Easy to say in hindsight that Walker should have stayed with Williams, but if he had done that, the pass would have been made to the central player who would have had an even better opportunity to score. Walker did the right thing. Every decent right back in the world would have done the same.

I disagree, I’m not sure how Yamal would’ve found the central player when stones was running in just ahead of him, he had no intentions of peeling off stones otherwise he would’ve. But just my opinion, as mentioned above it’s the easiest thing in the world to sit here and criticise. They’re at the very highest level for a reason

Bellingham was running on fumes in the 2nd half. Southgate needed to be brave enough to hook him. Having said all that, he was capable of amazing moments so it's removing that ability from the pitch that was a risk. I think (like his brother) he is better as a No.8

Oh, it's all so black and white isn't it?
 
sticking with Kane was a mistake, and poor defending for that 2nd goal, should get back to 4-4-2, anyhow Howe should be next manager ! or Ancelloti
 
Tell you what though, Pickford done us all proud all tournament.

The underuse of Palmer was a frustration.

I look at Spain, they deserved to win, they haven’t a weight of players behind that side.

We have a pile of them. We didn’t play our best side once.

Another 2 year wait won’t hurt.

Really wouldn't be a shock if he adds the 2026 World Cup to this. Yamal and Williams with two more years of development will take some stopping.

I don't think the fitness and form of Ben Chilwell was the reason why England lost

Maybe not but he was being picked ahead of the No.1 left back in the tournament.

What it might have done was give us balance from the off with results being better, an improved performance, more confidence and momentum.

Southgate goes for me. It was awful boring football that when we have the Premier League, Spanish and German players of the season being held back.
 
Best side won, can't argue with that.

Frustrating that we sat off them again after getting to 1-1. Wanted to see us keep pressing from the front with Watkins, Palmer and another. We seemed to be getting joy doing that and forcing Spain's keeper to kick it long.

Miles off the quality of Spain so lots of ground to make up. Congratulations to them.

Not sure the quality is miles off. They had pace and power in the wings and were willing to use it.

We played compact defensive football like Greece used to win it back in 2004.
