with all the goalmouth action - no doubt..  he could easily toepoke something or shoulder it or ass it in

Henderson has reverted to his true colors, hasn’t looked forward since the first few minutes

England needs Welbeck, not kidding

England has set up the team smartly, solid balance

I think the opposite, they've no midfield whatsoever. All their chances come from going straight from back to front. Their shape at the end of the half there was five players standing around on top of the Tunisian defence, Henderson alone in midfield and four players across the back making an absolute meal of trying to play it out of the back, which was a recurring theme all half. 

Having said that Tunisia are dreadful and England should be about 4 goals up by now. It was a clear penalty on Kane, Lingard made a mess of two superb chances, missed another decent one and hit the post with his fourth, and Stones had the best miss of all of them.

Lingard is such an underrated player. He has a reputation of being average for some reason but he was United's best attacking player pretty much every time I saw them last season. He's playing well tonight too. Just mising that final inch.

His celebration against us skews it. Plus people won't recognise a Utd player.

Possibly, but I don't think he gets much recognition from English pundits either. I could be wrong since I'm not exposed to their opinions that often, but that's how I perceive it. I think both he and Sterling had their contribution to their respective team downplayed, which is odd considering how much good they did last season. I think both of them had better seasons than Dele Alli, for instance.

I think Lingard is decent too, he’s just an annoying little shit.

Should have been another penalty for manhandling of Kane.

That's a another decent claim for a penalty.

Kasri was literally never offside there.

Got a mexican wave going on in the stadium.

Is England really screwing up again?

The Tunisians are so comfortable playing out from the back, even better than us

That's not saying much when we have Cech starting our passing out from the back Clrnc.

I don't believe Cech is worse than a Tunisian keeper who plays in the Saudi 2nd division.

It's more of our outfield players really. Any sight of pressure and they pass it back, they don't pass it between the lines at all.

No arguments there. But doesn't magically make Cech's horrendous kicking any better. We just have very few technically accomplished players who can pass well and hold possession under pressure.

It's our coaching. We could have Ter Stegen or Alisson in goal if those guys didn't do any training on the ball every day they'd look as poor as Cech does.
