We really do look so much better with Shaw in the side than without. Mad how a left back can make such a difference!

Imagine how they’d look with a striker who can run…

You can't really drop the dressing room leader, captain and joint top scorer in the tournament, regardless of his performances as a whole. I understand the logical argument for doing so but realistically it wouldn't happen under any manager. 

Another 45 mins playing with 10 men.

Kane can’t get off the ground.

[joey_big_nose]

Everyone has done well except Kane who has struggled with to keep up with the game... I think there is a chance we may hook him now or round 60 mins.

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

We’re struggling in midfield, Foden and Mainoo hardly in it. Saka flattering to deceive. Bellingham trying to do too much on the ball.

[RoverDom]

I'd take kane off now but realistically it'll be 60mins. He can't run and can't jump. Made a decent defensive block but that's not why he is in the team. 

 

Draw the right result at half time. Spain the better of the two without having a clearcut chance. Neither team deserves to be ahead so far. 

[B16Rover]

Wed be better with a Crosby beach statue upfront.  Not bothered who comes on, just kane off before the 60th

I'd argue it's like the 2nd half of the semi - we need pace to stop their defence pressing up against our midfield to give them space.

Spain tired against France so I'm hoping that happens again and we can unleash some fresh legs off of the bench.

It's winnable if Gareth wants it

Yep. 

[DeeCee]

Never thought I'd say it but Luke Shaw has been out best player this half.

Stones and Walker good also. Mainoo, Kane, Foden poor, Bellingham not much better.

Wake up FFS 🇬🇪

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

If we go 1 down he’ll make a change then.

Talk about Mickey Mouse.

Rodri being injured could be huge both in terms of the team and psychologically - we should be looking to step up and take charge of that midfield.

[RoverDom]

Rodri off is a massive plus for us.

You were saying?

Abysmal defending

[DE.]

Did our defenders come out after the break? 

[K-Hod]

Need to wake up here. So slow reacting to everything from Spain.

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

Getting over run in midfield.

[Forever Blue]

It’s imperative he gets Kane off. 
 

We’re all over the place with no outlet.

[ABBEY]

not cashing out ..but that ball by the boy

[RTM08]

Gareth getting outclassed by a half time tactical change. Classic Gareth.

[Silas]

Need to steady the ship here for 10 mins, then 60 mins odd it's subs and handbrake off time.

Don't wait till 75 mins ffs Gareth. At least let's go down swinging. 

[AspRover]

Guehi has had a very impressive tournament but he was at sixes and sevens for about five minutes there, didn't close the man or the space and let them pass it around him
