Being too cocky on the ball too many flicks and tricks. Just play it simple

Italy getting more possession but no cutting edge, England’s shape is excellent.

I love Philips. Didn’t really think much of before the euros but he is so tactically aware. Not the most gifted player. But he knows where to be, knows when to drop back in to the back row if maguire or stones take the ball forward. Not seen such a tactically aware player for a long time.

Immobile has been very poor so far.

Have we forgotten our right wing since the goal?

England deservedly ahead.
Italy are technically very good and beginning to dominate possession but doing very little with it. Immobile and Insigne have been poor. Chiesa playing really well and is the obvious threat.
Rice much improved.

England have been far too deep and done very little in the second half. Foden needs to come in to give the team some much needed energy.

Disgraceful that an 18 year old had all that pressure on the final penalty. Where was Grealish and Sterling?

Yep. Go hard and low in the corner on your foot side, or go hard and above halfway to either side of the keeper. The keeper's not saving those.

Pathetic managerial choices by Southgate there.

Feel sorry for Saka.

I just think with the stutter, you're sacrificing power for bluffing the keeper, if you don't call his bluff, you're fcuked. Don't know why they don't dink it because the keeper knows you're going low.

Jorginho & Fernando rarely miss and they have the hop, skip jump move
