Wonder what the Mickeys make of Henderson's goal.

I haven't, I have been talking about it throughout the thread. ;-)Great drive from Bellingham but don’t underestimate the importance of people like Phil who can play one touch football, in games like this.
I think you’ll destroy these now.

A lot. But we need to pay up, whatever the cost. The idea of him going to a rival doesn't sit well with me, he'd springboard a revival in any of them.So how much is Jude de Bellingham going to cost us?

Wow looked like pickford actually saved that one where he hit it over.

That’s the spirit.One step closer to getting knocked out by the French in the quarter s ;-)
Not playing well but doing the job. The sign of champions?
No, but we suddenly relaxed after we scored. It's the playing with fear inhibits us, we're terrified to make a mistake, over cautious and as a result make more mistakes

The thing that sets Phil apart is not his energy, or his first touch, or his technique -- many other players have that.Exactly. A football genius.
The thing that causes many experts to say he is the most exciting English talent in a generation is his footballing intelligence.
Henderson would have taken a touch there. Saka would have probably mishandled. Bellingham would probably have tried to drive forward to shoot himself.
But Phil scanned ahead as the ball was coming to him and saw that the best play was the first time pass. And he executed (with a little luck with the nick).
For the first goal, he saw that a one time pass forward took out Senegal's entire midfield.
He could be the most decorated City and England player in history if he continues his development and cleans up his off-the-pitch antics.
