I thought Phil was knackered in the second half after his fantastic efforts in the first half. Palmer was a good shout but I would have taken Saka off who also looked shattered. I am sure Phil will start the final though because we will need to withstand the best midfield in the world in the Spanish side.Taking Foden off will now be justified, but it was ridiculous in the extreme.
Bellingham should've been hooked but he's untouchable.
Souness once said give me a lucky manager over a good one. A play on the quote from Napoleon and lucky generals. Southgate definitely got lucky tonight.
Fatty isn't interested in defending. Will cost us a goal in the final for Shaw if he plays.Shaw weighed us down second half Trippier was excellent in the 1st
We have to get over this City business. They were a great team tonight, and a collective teamIt was ridiculous. Yeah it worked out so its justified. Foden was fantastic, whereas Bellingham was struggling second half.
But hey ho Capt Hindsight and all that!!!!!!!!!

Point taken….I think it was Koeman changing tactics as well to make midfield more compact and provide less spaces.
Well done Ollie Watkins for taking his chance! Cracking goal to take England through, from a player who's seen very few minutes this tournament.
Lovely to see Johnny Stones performing so well too. And Phil was great especially in the first half.
I agree about Rice. He looked lost but Mainoo, a total novice, was calm and collected. Mainoo carried him actually which surprised me because I have been sceptical of Mainoo but will have to revise my opinion of him after tonight.Anything can happen in a final, but what I’ll say is that Rice was fucking abysmal tonight yet again, not just costing the goal, his general play was woeful and I’m thinking to myself thank fuck we didn’t sign him, not fit to lace Rodders boots, but I want England to win it as I’m English at the end of the day
The difference we were celebrating winning 4 in a row. I don't think Spain are going to be on the lash between now and Sunday.
Honestly, it’s a fucking pointless conversation. Foden was the foden we all love in that first half but second half for various reason England dropped off. Subs at just the right time, England win and it was great.Yep,
I reckon Foden would've scored that chance Cole Palmer put over the bar from inside the box just before

I’m the same, but it maybe coming home.I might be being a miserable **** but it really gets on my wick when people say “It’s coming home”.
So many variables at play we will never know. Thats based on Our Phil hitting the post from the same place an hour before. He got taken off, knackered.Yep,

Not forgetting Walker thought he had best game so far in tournament.Well done Ollie Watkins for taking his chance! Cracking goal to take England through, from a player who's seen very few minutes this tournament.

Not far wrong with that to be fair.Gazzetta Dello Sport gave MOM to Mainoo. Worst rating? Bellingham.
