Luke Shaw is poor for me. Shame Chilwell is unavailable.
Harsh, I think. He's looked steady to me in a game requiring steady defenders, and has moved forward in a 'nowt daft' manner when play has allowed.

They built Grealish up Pre kick off to be the next Gascoigne. This is the trouble. He has talent but he’s light years from Gascoigne at his best. I mean the chasm is huge. Does the overhyping of the lad help? Not in my view.

Absolutely. However, it's a comparison that Grealish himself absolutely basks in, without, for me, him even coming close to warranting it. A little humility from Grealish might do him no harm.

Largely disappeared second half. Isn't the first or only player in the team being overhyped.

Can only agree tbh. I found it cringeworthy. Wait till you’ve done something first.

Good grief the chasm in the middle when trying to transition from defence to attack. 😬

I'll judge them when we're out...we have a defence that so far have conceded none. So clearly all of them would be in. I think I'd have Stirling and Kane in, so I'm up to 7. Then if I add Foden, that's 8...

Is it balls out of the hat for the last 16? How does it work? I just hope we avoid Italy, Germany, Portugal and France for as long as is possible to be honest.

Ha. I’m at 0. And that’s generous.

I think we are guaranteed one of those from the germany/Portugal group iirc if we top our group, but I may he wrong.

Decent first half, stodgy second. A win and a 3rd clean sheet. Not inspiring, but fine. Roll on the knockout rounds.

I just hope it gets a bit more exciting…first half an hour loads better then we just got turgid. I think we have players with more ability than they are showing, not sure if it’s following management instructions or mentality that’s holding them back.
