Ah, so England watched Barcelona last season.

 

Kane diving. Must be getting desperate already.

 

Great movement by Sterling and that’s me done with this game.

 

That goal never would of happened without Saka. Sheer brilliance from him running from midfield.

 

Great work from Graelish in the box there, too.

 

Kane with a shot on target. I saw 33/1 odds for that to happen this morning. Easy money.

 

Saka has justified his start already in my book. Looks a box of tricks every time he gets the ball. Pure entertainment, you could say.

 

His main position is right wing, but he can also play left back, left wing back, right wing back, left midfield, centre midfield, right midfield, left wing and as a 10.

Hope that clears it up for you haha.

 

Saka and Grealish have transformed this team. We look much better and Kane clearly loves it.

 

Hahahahah

 

Honestly, saw the starting line-up and thought Southgate just didn't have a clue, but we look really good going forward, so maybe it's me that doesn't have a clue?

Still think it's a little crazy that Sancho hasn't had a look in yet though, but I guess I'll continue to have at least a little faith in Southgate for now. Maybe Scotland was the wake-up call?

 

Getting Shaw involved probably helps too. He was good against Scotland but not involved enough behind Sterling

 

Tbh this is why Arsenal fans were laughing when people were saying Saka shouldn’t be in the squad, let alone the 11.

This is what he has done for two whole seasons for us, basically without more than one or two average games a season, whilst still a teenager. He’s unreal.

 

Benefit of playing Grealish at no.10 is he moves towards the left naturally and an overload's created between him, Sterling and Shaw (and sometimes Kane). Creates more space for Shaw and gives him options to combine.

 

Yeah that happens with us with Bruno moving left at times and Pogba too. His link up play is a huge asset.

 

England look much more fluid with a midfielder that isn’t terrified of passing forward.

 

I'm glad Sterling is still on so he ruins the attacks we don't have too many of them.

 

This ref misses many obvious fouls

 

Bellingham coming on, nice.
Rashford coming on, why?! Is he saving Sancho for knockout games or what?

 

Odd sub

 

Modric is still so good for being decrepitly old. (joke)

 

Clearly saving him for next season's Bundesliga.

 

I'm on edge. I'm thinking a late Czech sucker punch is coming.

 

Guys I dont think Scotland are going to win Euro 2020 in 2021.

 

3-1 Croatia. Scotland are done now.
