You cant describe this as anything other than 2nd best all over the pitch with and without the ball. No disguising tactically we are inept at addressing the needs of each match. As a team we lack energy creativity and to some degree purpose or an identity. In truth nothing we all have not known for the last 4 years

I hope Foden is actually injured (well actually not) otherwise it’s the worst decision I’ve probably ever seen not to have him on this pitch

Well if Southgate thought we weren't good enough against Iran, what will he have to say about that garbage.
We have better players, on paper, all over the pitch, so if they have a better team there's only one person to blame.

Painful performance and summed up all of England’s and the managers limitations.

Team limitation - no ball controller, Rice way too slow and robotic, no one setting tempo or playing through the lines

Manager limitation - doesn’t have the tactical abilities to see where spaces are and when to make the right changes

Well, I think we have to lose to Wales 4-0 not to qualify, so job done at a guess

Inexplicable that we didn't use all our subs, and Trippier and Mount had 90 minutes of nothingness

Grealish at least made things happen, but that was about it

Anyway, what happened to protesting and not watching?

England will get out of the group, but on that evidence we won't be troubling the latter stages of this tournament.

What was really concerning was the lack of intensity to our play both on and off the ball.

Shades of the summer when England struggled to break down organised defences.

US look a decent outfit on their 2 games so far, and if they can develop these youngsters they'll be one to watch when they co-host in 2026.

Clean sheet is about the only positive to take from tonight.

And Grealish has to start against Wales for me he makes things happen.

Not a great game, tightened up 2nd half with the changes and held the point comfortably in the end.

Job done, through to the knockout rounds. Not as easy to blow away every team at a WC, important not to lose.

Shame Foden and Maddison are injured, hopefully they're back soon.
