It's not over yet but Loftus Cheek and Hudson Odoi a big miss for England for me.

TRying to play a system that doesn't suit us. It won't work.

Play to us strengths

Schoolboy stuff at times.  Stones has always been a liability, but whole performance was downright sloppy and lazy.

They are not as good as they think they are.

3 Terrible mistakes aside, we played some good passing football at times.

Sancho is going to be a very good player.

Sort the midfield 3 out, and we would of won that in the 90 minutes

We played some nice stuff at times and Southgate is doing the right thing by trying to get us to pass more.  We won't be able to win a major tournament of 7 games in a month in 30 degree heat, unless we learn how to control midfield and until we get a midfielder or two who can transition from defence to attack more effectively than our current midfield.

Looking at the goals in extra time, yes they were poor individual mistakes, but they came about because there wasn't anyone in midfield to take the ball and turn it into possession, hence we end up with Stones and Barkley getting caught out playing the ball around the back.

We look decent going forward and have some exciting players, but to kick on to the next level, Southgate needs to get in some of the younger midfielders like Foden and Winks and see if we can control the ball a bit more.  Yes, Southgate could go back to a kick-and-rush game and we might get a few more short-term wins and batter teams on wet autumn evenings at Wembley in qualification, but over the long term we'd still not develop enough of a possession game to win a tournament.

In all, he'll probably learn more from last night's game having lost, than if we'd not had that goal disallowed and gone through.
