Never in doubt. Always looked like scoring.

 

[BuryMeInEngland]

Lovely jubbly!!!

 

[tiger666]

Are we ever going to score from open play again?

 

[tobi]

Hopefully they'll ease up a bit and play now.

 

[Marty]

Good corner. Beauty header. So strong even the tallest Swedes couldn't stop him.

 

[TheChosenOne]

Game on

 

[thinktank]

Unstoppable.

 

[Johnny J]

Walker is an absolute waste as a centre back.

Walker's best asset is his speed and strength when rampaging up the right wing. He worst aspects are concentration and positioning.

So we play him at CB.

I guess Trippier benefits, but it's so odd.

[Gassin's finest]

Knew it'd be an old fashioned, bread and butter goal needed to score against Sweden... Corner in, big twat with a meaty header, goal.

Who gives a shit?!

 

[tiger666]

Just realised how delayed this is on Iplayer. Thought someone was being murdered next door for a minute.

 

[Marty]

Alli is harrying and breaking up play well he just needs to find his touch.

Yeah we've all complained a lot about Dele's work in possession but he's broken up a couple of Swedish attacks and done much better defensively.

 

[Annabel]

Good old tutti frutti head! Game needed that!

 

[LaSpurs]

Jimmy Durmaz warming up, get him on!

 

[TheHoddleWaddle]

Sweden have no interest in closing us down in our own half. They want to sit back and scoop the ball up when we attack. Then when we attack, they look weak. They are there for the taking.

If we play with the pace thatbwont be able to cope.

 

[Chinaspur]

Kane’s playing too deep

Walker's best asset is his speed and strength when rampaging up the right wing. He worst aspects are concentration and positioning.

I guess Trippier benefits, but it's so odd.

Trippier benefits and Walker is the perfect defender to leave back when we have free kicks and corners because nobody's going to outpace him on the counter. He stopped a good couple of Colombian counters last round.

 

[SdB]

Had to be a headed goal. Sweden need to come out more now

 

[DuDe]

Who cares.
