Michael Keane is in the same CB ilk as Duffy and Tarkowski. A blocker, a heading stalwart, a stopper. The polar opposite of VVD, Rio Ferdinand, Beckenbauer, Stones, Baresi.

5live dissecting England’s lack of defending and non-existent control of the second half. Very clear that in a tournament that ever changing defence and lack of midfield control will see good teams take us apart.

Has been since they got the England contract. Tyldesley, Hoddle and Dixon are dull as dishwater.

Loved his born again christian effort with Glenn.

England knackered, time for subs.

Number 1 rule when watching England: Tyldesley = :wanker:

Do assistant refs have a say on that? It was so blatant.

apart from defending.

I thought he had his best England half tonight before the break, creative, driving forward, instinctive pass completion to our forwards.

Maguire and Keane are pulled all over the place, repeatedly. In the defensive class of Butcher, Ferdinand, Campbell, Terry? I’m not so sure, despite the £80m price tag for one.

Saw some magical England matches there in the 70’s, taken up in a convoy of school coaches. By the time of the 91 play off final, Wembley was a rusting dump.

They have some good players just now, but not good enough technically to ‘take it’ to a team full of CL/PL/Bundesliga stars .... plus Michael Keane.

So glad he thought they could do that against England, 10-1 sounds nice. Equally Guardiola loves it when we try that.

Great minds.

The Kosovo coach has copied GP’s tactics at the Etihad .... going toe-to-toe in a pure footballing contest against far superior players, pushing upfield. Always gives the same outcome.

You have a point, it’s about the definition of world class. Some argue it’s just the likes of Messi, Ronaldo, Hazard, VVD, Silva, De Bruyne, Mbappe.

Michael Keane didn’t get the final touch.

Evertonians slag Keane off, yet Southgate loves the player. Odd.

Everton’s finest donkey.

Andone :bowdown:
