I think he realised he wasn't a Palace player anymore at about the same time as me; i.e. when he started playing well.

Lingard was Ashley Barnes. In the right place at the right time over and over again. Missed the chances but will score if he keeps playing like this.

Kane maybe but Rashford is still fairly green and Lingard is overrated and did not have a good game. I think we have have better squads over the years than this squad.

First 20 minutes I thought, "hey ho - maybe this is a bright new dawn for England!"
I should have known
Since then, it's been the same old bunch of lethargic, lacklustre millionaire headphones who can't break down a team of waiters and taxi drivers.

You are joking aren't you? We were playing Tunisia not Brazil! First half deserved to be a couple up and, we should be. Second half poor but got what we deserved in the end. Lingard
Southgate 'win you over' Easily pleased or what!

Kane first man to score 2 goals in one world cup match for 28 years and only rates 7.09 out of 10 on BBC fans rating poll.
Some people need to get real. Kane is our best striker since Lineker and he saved our bacon. 9/10 from me, Trippier superb for an inexperienced player, Henderson stood out too.

On his last warning
Kane reminds me of the days when England scraped wins thanks to Shearer always being at the right place at the right time. Kane really is the teams most vital player. As for Dele Ali, I think he's England's most overrated player. He just throws himself to ground whenever it comes to needing some skill. He's the new Jenas, average. Wilshere is miles better.
I remember Fergie putting pressure on 4th officials to make sure time wasting was added on etc (when they were behind) and a dominant Utd who scored more than their share of goals in the dying minutes. But those timings shouldn't apply to what we've seen at the WC so far. Standard games are getting an extra 5 minutes for nothing, then we get an extra 3 when there was actual reason for some stoppage time.
If every team could create the chances we did, and finish them, they'd all be scoring a hat-full. So what? It's still fair to complain when basic decisions are given against us. It's daft to say we shouldn't complain just because some of our strikers aren't very good (Lingard)

Ali may well be overrated but Wilshere miles better
Wilshere should definitely have been in the squad. He's the only Englishman who can do what he can do. Put Dele Ali and Wilshere in the Spain team and it'll be Wilshere who looks most comfortable. Dele Ali clearly isn't technically as gifted as Wilshere. Wilshere hasn't been selected because of his fitness and lack of 1st team football. Not because of his ability
Think there is more to it that that, think he’s an utter clam as well.
I’m not sure Southgate wanted him around
Crikey looking at this thread you would have thought we had just lost. Considering there were a lot of debutant s out there I thought the team did well.Delli Alli been slated on here and he set up a couple of chances lingard hit the post and I see people are slating Maguire who set the 2nd goal up.As for sterling not his best game but deserves one more game.i think Southgate will stick with the same side.yes it was against a weaker world cup side but you can only beat what's put in front of you and time will tell how good this side are.job done for the 1st game can t ask for anymore a win is a win
He has been fit and playing for Arsenal, if that was the case why bring Rose and Welbeck? Its more that he has a potential of being injuired by a well aimed tackle on his angle for me.

strong and stable with me, or...
I agree with you, first game at a world cup with all the build up and waiting, always a tough one, as other sides have already found. Thought our play first half was better than expectations, and only nervous panicky strikes stopped us from running riot. I actually thought Maguire did well, second half he was doing his bit to get in front and get the ball moving forwards quickly.
Trippier was a bit of a revelation in that position, very impressed. Got to say, I just can't see that Stirling has enough awareness of the game around him, caught in possession when he should know a defender is right behind him, failing to release the ball when a team mate is in space. He does some good things, but I just don't think his football brain engages as others do - 2nd half he went off I felt because he didn't seem to realise we needed to speed the game up. Alli seemed well involved in the first half with a lot of our play, but did fade badly in the second.
Lotus-Cheek and Rashford did enough to suggest they should both start the next game, and it would be 2 from Sterling / Alli / Lingard to make way for me.

It thought finishing wise you’re bang on but in general play I thought he did well. Only Sterling had a shocker in my book.
