Gotta say.. mainoo is a bloody good player

Get him to city where pep would turn him into a world class player

He's got good games in him. He makes plenty of mistakes but today is one of those good days for sure so far.

 

[The Future’s Blue!]

Foden running the show. Considering that Bellend won’t even look at him, never mind pass, shows what he can really do when you play to his strengths.

 

[Etihad]

If Shaw comes on England will lose.

 

[RayCTID]

So when does he bring Shaw on for Trippier?

When the Dutch are completely knackered

 

[SWPISHOME]

So when does he bring Shaw on for Trippier?

The issue is if he does bring on Fatty there's a massive chance he pulls up with an injury.

Lucky with the pen but comfortably the better team. Phil, Mainoo and Saka playing well. As others have said though, Kane and Bellingham holding us back.

This.
You’ve totally rattled them since the penalty.
That’s what constitutes a penalty in the modern game. Fair enough. But it’s coached. It’s ruining football.

Yes you say that’s a foul anywhere on the pitch. Well that, I say is what’s ruining it.

Kane follows through onto the defenders foot. Defender didn’t show studs as is being suggested. He just tried to block the shot with the outside of his foot. Falling clutching your leg, is coached the same as clutching your face everywhere on the pitch.

It is what it is, but you are well worth parity at least. You’ve been the better team.

I side on the defender's side 95% of the time, especially with handball penalties, but that's a penalty 100% for me.

So when does he bring Shaw on for Trippier?

In a minute hopefully

I can't believe the penalty is so controversial. He goes studs up and doesn't get the ball. It's a foul everywhere else on the pitch.

Total foul
