Neville is deluded if he thinks England willWin the comp by being professionalAnd keeping clean sheets . There won’t be an England clean sheet next week at Wembley
Kane was very good in first half And as has been mentioned there’ll be more space at his end of the park next week
Grealish will start on Tuesday because Mount is out. Foden will come back in for Saka in all likelihood.We'll do well to go through the next round, but it isn't impossible. I think we can beat Portugal and Germany but not really basing that on the performances so far.Harry Kane has been woeful.

Got the win and didn't really get going so i suppose that's positive.Concern for me again is centre midfield. Far too often the pass is sideways to a centre back without getting their heads up and at least looking to play forward. Henderson was better when he came on at playing forwards. Still when Czech pressed the midfield we didn't have anyone to play forwards was just side to side between the centre halves. Another concern is how easily the Czech players got through our press a few times. We regrouped well but better teams will be so much quicker and sharper. We either needs to press very hard no matter where the ball is or drop off further to stop any gaps. Maybe against better teams that will be the plan leaving more space for our quick players to attack. But on the evidence of yesterday we won't get far pressing decent teams
Spurs have Son and England don't I would imagine explains it all.

But on the evidence of yesterday we won't get far pressing decent teams In a stat I've never seen before (I think on twitter) it said we're one of the slowest teams in terms of progressing the ball forward and last nights average of 0.7m/s is the lowest int he tournament to date. Presmue thats around where possession starts, where it ends and how long it took to get there. Going to have to try and find it now...!Edit - can I heckers find it....
France look worse than England yesterday and are level with a non penalty
