Couple of things about the set up. Dele needs to play further up.to help supply Kane, who also needs to play further up.

Sterling, tries his heart out but his brain ceases to function when he does all that work to get in a striking position. I can see what he brings But there's been no end product. He's taking positions on the pitch I want Kane in.

Play with 1 striker in kane, who plays higher up, drop sterling and have an additional midfielder on to play where Dele was, who you've moved further up?

Bring in rose for young. But really, it's just a few tweaks.

Pickford, trippier and Maguire were top notch today.
100% agree with all of that

Delph actually comes across as a nice, genuine guy.

To be honest a lot of these England players seem like good lads and it's actually for the most part a set of players that I've ended up liking. It's weird as I'll go back to calling a lot of them ****s throughout the club season :D

I said pretty much the same to my dad after the game, just a few little tweaks that I think would enhance our play. Unfortunately I think we'll see exactly the same selection and player roles come the semi-final.

Fucking get in! Three lions on the shirt!!

So proud of all the squad. Trippier surely Englands player of the tournament so far.

I get why Southgate would keep it the same. It's a winning formula to date. I just want him to seek those minor changes that would make the difference. Especially the Kane part. But whatever happens, I'm so delighted with this side and their progress.
