⏱️ @Carra23's half-time verdict:
'When Bellingham and Rice play between the lines against a defence set-up like this, you either need a bit of magic from them outside the box, or the wingers to deliver far more than they are currently doing.
'That’s England’s problem here. The longer this goes on, the more we must look to the bench and ask who can come on and make a difference?
'Rice and Bellingham are all about power and energy; they aren’t magicians in the spaces between the lines.
'If this continues, the debate will start regarding Cole Palmer’s absence. We’ve seen so many games like this in major tournaments.
'Those who championed Palmer’s inclusion foresaw tactical conundrums like this – which is why some of us thought it better to have him as an option.'
@gunnerpunner it was ghana's game plan, shuck partey infront of
kane to stop him. it worked. stop kane, stop england. partey spent the whole game scanning his shoulder to block the path to kane - good game plan.
its not football manager so these player trades don't ever happen, but alvarez for gyokeres would be crazy - but his dream is barca, so you'd only have him for 2/3 years. defo an arteta all round 9.
Martin Odegaard blasting a shot over the bar and then immediately hyping up the crowd.
A lot of Arsenal fans watching this game just pointed at the screen.
