Looked a threat on the ball. The only one who did. Kane had a shocker.

Not surprising the wide forward struggled to get in the game when England could not keep possession

Did ok could have been played in on numerous occasions but other players didn't have the vision to spot him. Repeatedly you could see him at the bottom of the screen making the runs but they didn't pick him out like kev and dave do

What I noticed was Spain doubled up on him a lot, especially when we were looking to break on the counter. Even more so in the second half.

Was that just random, or did they identify a threat and devise a game plan to nullify it?

He didn't excel himself in their goal that's for sure. He is prone to the odd sloppy pass and if he could master that and his shooting he would become a great player.

Yep. The goal was down to him. He looked dangerous at times though, and made some very good runs, which weren't picked out as England have too many average players.

Still the best player on that pitch. Despite the wonderful goal. Watch him against the dippers then judge him.

Nail on the head.

Also noticed the same as another poster that Spain recognised him as a danger and doubled up on him, unlike Kane who they could have left on his own

His agent did a great interview in the mirror today saying how happy he is and the mirror looked at his stats and alround he has improved already

It also said contrast the treatment the dippers give him on sunday versus the way we will greet jimmy,very true

 

[BlueAnorak]

Getting his retaliation in first as the Dipper assassination squad will be out for him this week/

 

[FantasyIreland]

His agent needs to let go now,he's doing the kid no favours with his continued bitching.
