Outstanding Jude outstanding

 

[Diego]

Jude Bellingham

Foden is having a good game and Phillips needs bringing off I think.

One of the best games for England I've seen from Foden.

Bright as a button. Just a lovely player when he’s at it

 

[TeaCider]

Buzzing with this.

The games against North Macedonia and Malta are going to feel even more like friendlies now, hahah.

Do you think he'd ever get ahead of Saka?

 

[Jedi boro]

Base the squad around foden and Bellingham and look what happens.

 

[Muttley]

Ref aside from getting the Phillips foul wrong has been exemplary

The Southgate-out brigade will still be flooding to TalkSport after the match saying it’s only a rubbish Italian team.

I’d play them both

Not me I want to see our best players play

Tonight we did.

 

[TeaCider]

Still room for improvement, which is encouraging, hopefully we've got our left backs fit next year.

Top seeds for the summer as well.

Does Lukas Engel have an English grandmother?

 

[Laughing]

England pretty much controlled that second 45.

 

[Muttley]

That'll do

 

[TeaCider]

Does Lukas Engel have an English grandmother?

Sort of.

He's Engel-ish.

I love how calm and comfortable the team have looked for years now - for years english teams looked like 11 players that had not practiced much together.

It's the opposite now - they all know their roles - and whether you like it or not - there is a stable style of patience and possesion with short sharp attacks when there is opportunity.

Presenter talking about the atmosphere at full time… there’s hardly anyone left in the stadium.

 

[Diego]

Well that was enjoyable.

Foden, Kane and Bellingham were top. Great goal from Rashford.

Pickford did well when he had too. Minutes in the legs for Phillips who struggled at times. Need to get some left backs fit soon and there’s still a couple of spots up for grabs.

Saka still walks in the team in my opinion.

yeah it’s harsh on him but I’d probably drop Rashford for Saka. Front 3 of Kane, Foden and Saka, with Bellingham in the hole isn’t too shabby!
