Romanian fans won’t enjoy Malen

Stewards standing on the pitch

Just don’t understand Gakpo. Played well, but then the chance earlier when Malen under hit the pass, was crap from Gakpo. Taking a shot on when some composure, sees the defence taking out and easy pass to Simon. Just feels inconsistent still in his end product.

Yellow for that Get football in the bin ffs.

Criticism was neither him nor Stones took control. Only they both know who was at fault.

That pass to break the lines was great. That’s what you need to do to break down sides.

Hopefully Portugal knock France out. Dull side and can’t be having them 1-0 their way to a tournament win and it lauded as a benchmark.

Deflection **** off France.

Feels this game has pens all over it unless someone spanks one in from distance. Neither side will fully commit players.

I don’t think he’s particular fit, also don’t think he’s the normal Stones and a reason why Pep didn’t use him much in the title run in. Still that said, it’s clear it’s a tactical choice by Southgate to be more risk averse with our play. Our weakness even before this tournament been the defensive transition, and the times we’ve lost the ball this tournament, we’ve been played through with ease. Think we’re heavily fortunate there’s a fair chance we won’t face a ‘named’ side till the final, so our approach could just about get us there without it ever really being a good approach

Some tackle that by Hernandez to get Saliba out of jail, although Carrasco was proper **** and waited ages. Makes KDB great ball a nothing thing.

What’s the xg on that missed chance from 45 yards?

Walker-Stones-Konsa Trippier - Mainoo - Rice - Saka Foden Kane - Bellingham
