England should have had one too, when Kane was wrestled to the floor. Just glad we won. It was close; too close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mommysboy Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 It was a penalty, but England should have had a couple. Kane was wrestled to the ground on one occasion- so much for VAR. Rashford and Loftus Cheek helped turn the game for me. I can't see the logic in having 2 proven goalscorers so low down in the pecking order: Welbeck and Vardy. England can be a force if they can find a way of not squandering a hatful of chances. Excellent in many respects. Maybe it was the best way to win, because failings have been revealed early on.

smokie36 Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 England clearly struggled to penetrate when Tunisia adopted a much deeper defensive line. Sterling is poor....no question about that and Loftus Cheek looked much sharper and able to reach the byline and cause problems. Food for thought for Southgate. Oh yeah....Harry Kane...HE'S ONE OF OUR OWN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soft but if it was the other way round you would be screaming for it. Sterling is so low in confidence he should of been off at half time. He was woeful. Loftus-Cheek and Rashford gave us the spark we needed so well done to Southgate, just now needs to drop his teachers pet for the next game. Best game I’ve seen Henderson have in an england shirt, granted the opposition were weak and he had lots of room to work. Stones and Mr Magoo were big threats at set pieces, but there is always a goal waiting at the other end the way they try and play out. Trippier looked solid, never rated him that much before but hats off he looks the part. Kane stuck to his task after being constantly wrestled to the ground, that’s what quality strikers and match winners do. Tunisia were the worst side I’ve seen this tournament but you can only beat what’s in front of you and 2-1 didn’t do it justice. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kane's star continues to shine as well....Sterling will be broken by the time he returns to Manchester hopefully. ....perhaps Walker too....who knows? ?

AlexRich Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 I thought England should have killed that game within the first half an hour, apart from Kane they lacked the necessary killer instinct, despite being a talented group of individuals. They deserved their win but need to work on that going forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see Cahill coming back in for either Stones or Maguire to sure things up a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Southgate is edging him in the side slowly. He appears to be someone without nerves who just goes out and plays his game. Pretty much the opposite of Sterling at the moment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
