I've changed my mind. France will pound us

We're trying to be like Spain but without the intelligent running. Doesn't work.

Are we sure that Southgate isn’t related to Mowbray? Secret love child maybe? 

[roverandout]

Saka has been horrendous

“Senegal shouldn’t be discounted or dismissed, they’re African champions.” I wouldn’t expect any professional to dismiss any opponent. However, it’s bloody Senegal. If hand picked a realistic knockout opponent wouldn’t look much past the likes of Senegal. None of this lot would make an England 4th xi. That’s not to say they can’t win or won’t win, England can cock up any match. But should we fail to progress here it’ll be a national disgrace up there with Iceland, etc, etc

Lots of English exceptionalism in this post. Southgate said before the World Cup we constantly as a nation over-rate ourselves

This is awful. Southgate has his tactics and team selection all wrong. Again.

I think France should look to beat this England side 4-0 but frankly we should brush aside Senegal. Not playing  like this though.

not as much wrong just not working and he is`nt a good enough coach to enforce a tactical change,i bet he does`nt change it at half time either

[jim mk2]

Boom. Amazing what happens when you attack instead of sitting back 

[JohnD]

Its coming home ....... 🤣

If i was Man U or Liverpool i'd be asking what do Dortmund want for Bellingham and just pay it.

how did he end up in germany in the first place🙂

[Silas]

Get in.

Henderson busting his hump all over the pitch.

I wonder if he's been told he's only playing 60 mins regardless. Looks like he's emptying the tank to me.

But they might well do a Jadon Sancho on him.

You’d have to be mad (or get a stupid offer) to sign for United as a young player who looks like he might be one of the worlds best in a few years.

If i was United i'd include sending Sancho back as part of the deal

It's how he plays most games for Liverpool. I think he's underrated by a lot of people

[roverandout]

Magnificent goal 

[jim mk2]

Bellingham did brilliantly there to make that goal

[Darrenbot]

Lets just forget the 1st 35 mins happened

[roverandout]

Bellingham is to midfield what Mbappe is to attack

[simongarnerisgod]

bellingham made both goals,maybe jdt can spend his significent "budget" on him🙂

solid at the back and very dangerous on the counter attack with bags of pace,griezeman is a fantastic player who links the play brilliantly,far to much pace and nous for us

Griezman is the key player for me.

This England test is like a short distance runner. We are poor over long distance but we get things done in a short time
