Fits perfectly though doesn't it?

Time for Wilson to find his shooting boots.

Reckon Tindall will go rollneck/blazer.

Pretty ambivalent towards this, there's potential there and the pressure on him will be lower with room to grow into the side with us already having ASM, Almiron and potentially Isak who can play out wide. Really do hope he cuts out the diving though.

Knackered after that. Fairly sure if the final is anything like that I'll pass away before FT.

Why are we so deep?

Would rather Dean Gaffney than Gordon

Would like to see him in the right of midfield. Think he'd work well with Migs and Trippier and get into a lot more dangerous positions. He's hampered a bit by playing with Burn/Joelinton.

Nice bit of movement for the goal, ghostly.

Recalled Jeff Hendrick. Booked him a week in a hotel to give him time to get his gaff cleaned.

The miss is one thing, but the worst thing about him is if it's not a physical battle in the air (which he isn't even good at) he wants no part of it. Gets rid of the ball like it's a hot grenade, doesn't seem bothered if it's to a teammate or opposition.

Heart the size of pea unfortunately.

No we don't, we always look second best against the top sides. Tonight they looked and played like they thought they could win.

Proud of the team though. Showed we can mix it with the best. Arguably the better side too. Southgate set them up well.

Sickener. Hope Maroc smash the French.

The geezer takes a swipe at the ball and hits Saka, it's a foul 100% of the time if its 25 yards back.

Think we've done OK. One great strike. Please just quicken it up a bit at the back. Good lord.

Southgate has negotiated the tournament well overall so far. But we've also played 4 teams worse than us. Huge test against France, we'll need to be tactically spot on and he may need to adjust things quickly in game. Things he's rightly been criticised for lacking/not doing against Croatia and Italy when it matters.

Quality in the final 3rd the only difference. Don't think the Dutch are that good tbh.

Davy Klassen is so bad.

Gnabry has resembled prime Obertan stuck out on the right.

Big Al echoing for anyone else?

Brilliant from Morocco. Wanted it more.

I get what Southgate has done and appreciate him. But when you're in the middle of a match and there are blatant problems that keep resurfacing it's hard to think about things holistically. After seeing us under Howe and how he's got the best out of players nowhere near the quality of the side, it is frustrating. He doesn't seem to ever acknowledge issues or learn from mistakes either which erodes my patience with him.
