This high bar for VAR was very low 1st half.

Clear and not obvious VAR. Nearly 5 mins to decide it was.

Like watching a 5 aside game. May as well do without the middle 3rd of the pitch at the moment

We’re not getting Rice. If they go down I’d be all over Bowen and Paqueta. Paqueta is still getting used to the league, he’s not being played where he’d want, he’s far bigger and robust than I’d realised and Eddie would get him fit. He’d thrive up here.

Lol

Burn is tailor made for Bowen mind.

Desperately need protection for Burn.

Wow

If we can hold out until around 70 mins and get our subs on we might be ok. Our pressing, winning 2nd ball and ball retention has been poor.

We’ve rode our luck so far, they look the better side tbh and have done most of the half. They let in 2 shocking goals and Wilson should have added another but make no mistake, play like that 2nd half and we don’t win.

Given Big Jo Bruno Beardsley Shearer

Midfield is key, Rice and Pacqueta won that battle comfortably up here.

West Ham were the better side up here after the first 20 mins. Won’t be easy by any means.

Fwiw, you can’t have a team full of game changers and him or Longstaff in the team would do a very important role and would add competition for that position. For a sensible price I’d get him in. If I were ETH I’d be hanging on to him after seeing what else they had on offer yesterday.

I’d be taking TAA off after that lack of effort. Shocking.

Man Poo. Full RTG mode.

One of the younger girls sides have got through to some final at Elland Road. They’re going to get names on shirts and travel down on the Team Bus. Great to hear.

That’s embarrassing mind, the stench of Ashley lingering on.

This game will continue until Italy score, 8 min extra time at least I reckon. Can’t be nowt else with the time wasting yellows. Ref would wear his yellow card out reffing one of our games.

Where’s the press gone? Sitting back, give them easy possession, hold a line, absolutely pathetic. Let’s just take our best players out of the action and hope that the likes of Maguire, Stones et al can cope. And this referee is having a laugh with these bookings.

Looks like Southgate hasn’t learnt anything on how to manage a 2nd half against a decent side when you’re leading. Sit back, it’ll be all ok.

This game should be done by now. Euro Final anyone?

Bellingham absolutely fantastic so far.

Out of the England Squad with a minor injury.
