Mount , fails to impress.

[Harry Dowd scored]

Harry Kane playing well, holding up the ball and passing good

No he isn't , he's been awful so far.

Yeah, forgot he made the incisive pass to the right that led to the goal

[CTID Hants]

Brilliant stop by Stones

Shaw started the move ffs

[carl_feedthegoat]

Sterling has been a fucking non event so far .

Offered little to nothing

[nottsblue]

A dull affair this is. But we are winning so its up to the Italians to create something. Pickford has barely had a save to make

I get the impression though if Italy score they will go on to win

[Dubciteh]

England defensively excellent. Italy not at the races, very comfortable for england.

Im finding the videos inside the stadium as entertaining as the game!

Correct, the ball went to Kane who played a good pass to the right, the ball was crossed and Shaw finishes well

i'd put a defender on for Maguire , he is way out of his depth .

so he plays the ball wide , not under pressure . For the rest of the half, like mount he's done sod all.

[zuricity]

Rice would be a good understudyto Fern.

[Harry Dowd scored]

Anybody who knows, or has played football would know Kane is under instruction from his manager to play a deep role, the team is set up ultra defensive, this does not help a player like Kane, but anybody with half a fucking brain could see that

[Beefymcfc]

Echo others thoughts, we are allowing them possession by playing so deep with a very defensive set-up, not allowing any chance to get out unless we have possession.

I’ve said to the lads that if we carry on with this set-up we need to get through the first 20 after the break and then the game becomes ours to lose.

[Beefymcfc]

Come on England!

First 21

[Mase]

That was coming. Reminds me of Pep watching us getting absolutely blasted and still not making a change in tactics or subs.

[Harry Dowd scored]

This is a direct result of defensive tactics, reminds me of City v teams that park the bus, we have lost the initiative
