Foden is a shadow of his normal self when he plays for England.

Highest goal scorer Harry K and theyre not givin him the ball

Can see them scorin - 1-0 aint enuff

Theyre direct an england seem to do a lot of walkin

Saka the danger man

That side starting tonight won't win the tournament outright. Certain on that.

Not enough movement, a bit slow but 1-0 so ok.

The negativity is still there, getting into promising areas but then turning back and recycling the ball.

Also is Shearer an agent for Alexander-Arnold? Seems to be wetting himself every time AA touches the ball

Good start, got them where we wanted them and then..stopped. Not sure why, but given Serbia a lot of confidence. Got to get that energy back again at start of 2nd half

[Heliosphan]

We need another goal, that's for sure.

Slightly disappointed we haven't worked their keeper more. Yes we've scored, but...

Serbia will have a go 2nd half so hopefully we can take advantage of that.

I see posts about players not doing as well as they do for their teams.
Of course the comments are correct but I don’t care until we lose 😂

Typical England first 20 mins we were dominant and should have pushed on after the first goal, they press us high in the last 25 mins and very lucky to not be drawing, so deep. Kane left so high up the pitch isn’t working he is marked by two all the time, so is no outlet. Trippier cannot play left back it means rodents has to drop to cover for him so we don’t have a left side outlet. We are now getting overrun in midfield as TAA and foden are great going forward but when under pressure it leaves us light. Walker and Saka brilliant, and Bellingham a different class. If we don’t pick up in the second half they will score and then we will start to panic. If we don’t start well and the left is under pressure take Foden and Trippier off put Connor Gallagher on and let Bellingham go forward more and Gomez at left back.

A typical Southgate performance. Great start, good goal, sit back, let the opposition back into the game. Italy last Euros, Croatia WC. We're so much better going forward and pressing. So frustrating!

This Southgate style of play is making Kane look very ordinary
