Not even taking the piss when I say Burn would tighten this up massively. At least he wants to defend 

And he'd get his head on some of them crosses we floated in

I prefer this use of VAR tbh, in the PL that would have been a 6 min check. VAR becomes the central story to everything. ‘Was he offside’, no, ok let’s check the move proceeding that, was that a foul etc etc. sucks the joy out of football.

 

Definitely, it's been brilliantly unintrusive throughout the tournament so far.

How does Guehi not start ahead of these two btw? I’d have fucking Maguire in there ahead of Konsa based on this showing.

Did they say he had a minor knock?

[Turnbull2000]

Hope O'Reilly has an atrocious tournament, so at least Lewis Hall can feel a bit better about himself.

There's a reason why tuchel has ended up managing England and it's his own fault (he gets sacked everywhere).

[Keefaz]

Been impressed with the speed of the VAR so far in the tournament. Much less intrusive. 

[Cronky]

Croatia are a good side. A draw wouldn't be a disaster, but we're looking quite nervous out there when under pressure.

 

Rice has taken over the Beckham mantle. He looks good but he's actually holding us back.

Wonder how long it'll be before the first 'Southgate wasn't as bad as I thought at the time'

Id say over 90% of managers end up getting sacked.

Is it so hard to show people straight away, why are you so annoyed at people wanting to see it? 😂

They can’t show it because they forgot to check the goal, maybe?

[alexf]

Thought it a long time ago and it's being shown, that defense was always going to be our major weakness. 

 

Real mistake putting so much pressure on O'Reilly to perform with no back up, especially as he's so young and not really a left back. 

 

Good player but I still take Hall over him as left back. To not have any back up is odd. 

[Virtua Stiva]

Croatia rocking up after everyone has written them off again and looking good  They’ll probably make the semis again

[Mattoon]

Gordon anonymous, Bellingham too, Konsa and Stones have been poor as has O'Reilly. Can't change the lot at half time, but something needs to change, we've been really poor at the back. Two chances, two goals for Croatia, these would get murdered against the likes of France or Spain.

Do they have that semi automated thing? 

I'm.just going off what I know man!

 

The rules are they check every goal.

 

Even if its obviously a goal.

 

The commentator said no VAR check. He'd know because they are told check in progress.

Have we looked good going forward? Have we even tested their keeper? I'm sorry like but we've looked disjointed and very mediocre.

We've scored two , the keeper's been tested by having to pick the ball out the net twice .

I think all international managers nowadays are failed club managers tbh.

I just dont understand Bellingham. Are we sure hes actually any good, coz I've never seen it?

Pressed reasonably well, Madueke has had space to run into, CMs have been OK. I hate to pile on to my own pile-on but I genuinely think Bellingham has been the problem with link-up.

They've scored two binding goals too be fair, goals we could only dream of scoring by what we've seen so far on this show.

It's too much

[TheBrownBottle]

I just find Tuchel’s team and squad selections absolutely bizarre.  Unfit players taken & playing, technical players left at home, square pegs in round holes.

Correct, but tuchel's span per club is very short

7 bloody games, if someone's playing shit, sub them at half time, Have to be ruthless.
