Lingard played well but he's the cringiest man in the whole of football and i'll never be able to like him

I think he knows the older people hate it and plays on it tbh.

I'm only 27

Are you sure you are manc SE? 15 mins to Warrington is a fair bit shy 🤔

I’d agree with that, he’s very good at what he does.

I’m not convinced the system Southgate is using is the best for him though. Odd to say given he’s winning the golden boot, but that’s been mainly off the back of set pieces rather than open play. Given we haven’t got an Eriksen type midfielder, I really think we could do with more width against the better teams. Either that, or the goals will come from elsewhere and not Kane.

Ya that’s true like he’s leading the golden boot with 3 opportunist tap ins, 2 pens and a fluke. He hasn’t even played that well but fair play he keeps finding the net.

Do we have top quality wingers though?
----------------------------------------------------------------------

No, which is one of the reasons I thought Southgate went with the system he did. It needs the wingbacks to really push up though and keep their width. Either that or have someone high up starting in a wide position, like Sterling does for us.

................

Both of our wing backs have offered nothing what so ever as an attacking threat other than Trippier at set pieces.

Yesterday, Young made one, yes one, forward pass longer than five yards. That was in the 91st minute and went out for a goal kick.

Don't understand why everyone is obsessed about the golden boot. Means nothing unless you do well in the tournament. I'ld rather kane doesn't get it and we get to the semis.

Don't think 'everyone is obsessed about it'. If anything, it is Kane who seems to be obsessed with it.

I share your sentiment btw, rather he doesn't score any more goals, if we go far/win the damn thing.
