Hope we’ve got something in extra time. Rice not being fully fit has been a huge miss. Midfield been poor.

Call me mental but if he put on Mainoo over Eze the game would be very different! Tuchel been spot on with so many calls this tournament but today his subs were not good.

Think I’ve only seen Eze touch the ball twice. I don’t like how defensive we are playing.

6 midfielders and not the one natural ball progressing CM in the squad getting a single min.

Tuchel has done everything possible to change this midfield that isn’t working apart from bringing on Mainoo. It’s like he’s going out of his way to find ways not to play Mainoo. Rogers, Eze on and play Jude deeper. Then play James out of position. I don’t get it. So weird. He should have left Kobbie at home if he was never going to use him.

@DoubleAFutebol Chalobah but he was called up later to be fair.

Is Kobbie the only outfield player not to touch grass yet?

We’re getting cooked by Norway… England hanging on here. No control in midfield, defence looking nervy. Need to get attackers into the game.

No ball progression in midfield which is literally an area Mainoo can improve big time, I honestly don’t understand why Tuchel is not using him.

Get Mainoo on so we can move Jude higher up. I know Tuchel doesn’t like Kobbie Mainoo but we have had 0 threat so far this 2nd half with Jude Bellingham having to play so deep to accommodate Eze.

Our set piece defending 🫣

Defence has been poor all tournament. I think Tuchel has got so many calls right but the decision to not bring Maguire I think was silly.

@KieranBarrett96 Bellingham is our most dangerous and influential player. Now he has to play deeper where he can’t be as dangerous to accommodate Eze. When we could keep Bellingham there and bring in Mainoo who was MOTM 2 years ago for us in a Euro semi final and showed his quality.

@AliceTalksFooty You’re a Man U fan of course you want Mainoo. Tuchel knows more than you

I’d rather keep Bellingham higher up and bring Mainoo on for Rice than Eze personally. Jude is too good to be playing out of position.

Jude Bellingham has been top three player this tournament W/ Mbappe and Haaland! Anderson has also done very well this game. Defence could be better. Think we win this! Come on England.

Jude Bellingham is simply incredible.. wow!

World Cup effect is mental. Haaland has gained 25m instagram followers in three weeks. Vozinha has 28m followers. For context the most followed NFL player is on 17m followers. Biggest sport in the world.

@FrankEra_ Ole’s talent ID was nuts. Wanted Haaland, Bellingham & Caicedo before they became top players.

This still haunts me you know.

Garnacho being in the bomb squad two years in a row with two different clubs is mental haha Personally think he’s better than Gittens tbh
