Standard Harry Kane

Utterly anonymous all game yet he ends up on the scoresheet twice.

Got to respect him, great finisher, best English finisher for years.

I'd use Walker as the wing back rather than Tripper and move Rose in for young. While Young can put a cross in, it's with his right foot. That's not great for a wing back.

Lingard should’ve scored at least two but he’s in the positions and normally a big game player so I would definitely keep him in the team.

Sterling is a bit of a worry.

Henderson played well. Was quite pleased he’s in the team over Dier.

Trippier was my MOTM.

Young too predictable cutting in on his right but I like his tenacity and that beaut of a cross for one of the Lingard chances.

I thought Tripper offered very little going forward - as usual. Thought Young was the same. Needed people who would try and commit their opponents and stretch them rather than cut in and look for the cross or turn and pass it sideways or backwards

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Trippiers corners led to 2 goals, he should be taking all the free kicks as well, he is our best dead ball specialist. His performance overall was superb, he looks miles ahead of Kimmich. How the hell does Aurier get a game.

Ashley Young stands out like a sore arris, couldn't beat an egg, cant cross, cant use his left foot, rubbish at set pieces, awful in the air, no pace, no guile, no great movement. I'd rather start with 10 men and a training cone than start with Young again
----------------------------------------------------------------------


You're on the wind up surely?

Trippier was decent, nothing special. Didn't provide those killer crosses he's known for. His one free kick was awful, no chance would I have him on free kicks. Definitely on corners. I'd have TAA on against the weaker sides as he can actually provide a threat for wing back and is the best set piece taker in the squad.

Miles ahead of Kimmich

Trippier was very good. Not really sure how anyone can think otherwise. Some of his passing from the right back area into the right/central forward line was outstanding, including the pass that sent Lingard away when he hit the post.

Would be tough on him if Walker replaces him at RWB

I would not have Trippier v the better teams.

Give him time and space and his passing is superb. Ask him to do a bit of defending though, and we will have trouble. Not quick, and vulnerbale to a ball in behind him.

Keeps his place for Panama.

Walker in for RWB for Belgium for me all day long.

Not Trippier's biggest fan but thought he was superb yesterday. And Walker at RCB helps to cover him

Trippier created 6 chances, more than any other player at the world cup thus far.

trippier and henderson were easily 2 of the best players by some distance. Did everything you could ask and were positive and prob only 2 i saw not afraid to try a pass.

Ali, Lingaard and Sterling were very poor, but inexperienced so you know that could happen.

Kane you kinda knew would get lots of shirts around him on his own, and without 2 people down the flanks to occupy defenders- he is gonna have a hard time on his own if we carry on like that.

Comical defending from Tunisia to leave him open with tap ins from 2 yards, but shows we got lucky really. We need more support for Kane or we will just have to keep praying decent defenses leave him unmarked at corners again....which they obv wont

Walker isnt the smartest, but has recovery pace to burn and got unlucky with the penalty imo

Sterling has to drop to the bench. Rashford instead

Walker experiment may just cost England at a critical time. It's difficult to go into a World Cup against the best teams playing a position you may have played 6 times! England got lucky thanks to Kane but it could have been 1 point, then what....draw with Panama and need to beat Belgium. That would have been typical England

Need to follow Kane's lead and be ruthless!
