Henderson isn't 100% fit. Gomez isn't match fit. Walker's pace gets us out of trouble, although Alexander-Arnold should become the regular right back. Chilwell is one who is seriously out of his depth imo. Rose should have started. Rice is looking very dodgy early on, as is Maguire. Gomez should take his place eventually.
Fair enough. England are struggling so far. Chilwell and Maguire and Rice in particular. In fact, I'd get Maguire off now and put Gomez on.
We have been a poor 2nd best but take the lead after a Dutch mistake and pen, won and taken by Rashford.
Great penalty. The Dutch are being really dirty now. Come on boys, stuff the ****s. Get Rose on for a dazed Chilwell. Bad challenge on him. Should have been red.
If we had their midfield or they had our forwards eh? Terrible from Stones there. Clear the ****ing thing. Lucky De Lit missed that header.
We are struggling to play through their midfield. Won't be surprised to see us go more direct 2nd half. Most shouted phrase in our house so far: "Don't ****ing give it to Maguire"!
I was convinced Maguire was awful before the World Cup, then I thought he'd proved me wrong. I'm more convinced now.
I rate Maguire. Probably better in a three than a two but we don’t have anyone else you’d fancy against Van Dijk at set pieces.
