Mainoo is everywhere! The bloke is like dog shit in the 80s.

Bellingham has been quiet by his standards.....which probably means he will do something soon.

This definitely looks a good setup for us. Both Foden and Bellingham sitting behind Kane and roaming around the half spaces  when the wingers need support. Allows Mainoo to get more involved too with Rice sitting.

 

All we need now is a decent LWB.

Mainoo superb. Bellers has to do more imo.

Kane's movement this tournament has been laughable. It's like he's never played the game before. Scored two tap ins and a penalty though so he'll get defended 

Might as well play him  dm and stick toney up top 

[Nalis]

Mainoo only 19, plays like someone with 10+ years of international experience.

Different role for him. He's having to sit higher and further left, particularly out of possession. 

[StanSP]

Ngolo Mainoo.

White? 

[Bilo]

The penalty was outrageous, but it's transformed the game. 

[Muzzy_no7]

Weak links Kane and Bellingham atm

Well, I meant it was everywhere. I forgot it went white and furry! 

[Sly]

The Netherlands are hanging on at the moment, they’ll want half time ASAP. 

[MattFox]

Penalty really rattled the Dutch 

[StanSP]

Netherlands much deeper since Depay went off. Closed up shop. 

[Sly]

That needs drilling across the box. We lack a left back. Chilwell was the one if Shaw wasn’t fit. 

[Parafox]

What is Kane's actual role? Does he even know?

[trugerkem]

I’m still struggling with the penalty .. Dumfries put his foot up to block the shot and Kane kicked him on his follow through … Dumfries did not try to tackle impede or foul Kane .. Kane kicked him 

[foxfanazer]

Would love this to be Kane's final tournament

Makes sense tbf they were playing right to our strengths

Im not so sure. We looked ok before their goal. Aside from their goal we’ve looked completely in control.

Understandably too. We'd be fuming if that was given against us

See - if Foden is central and roaming, Bellingham has to be a little more disciplined in terms of shape - plus Foden seems on it, so sometimes as a player you just have to say let him cook.

I feel like that was the consensus.

[Trent Steel]

One change for me at half time

 

Kane off. Toney or Watkins on

 

Won't happen though
