Keegan.

Got a feeling we’ll win here.

^ totally agree On another note: KWP has been head and shoulders our best player for aeons. Arguably the only genuine Prem standard player in the squad. He should be given the freedom of the City for his loyalty quite frankly.

It’s got to be said that we scraped promotion last season. Not as if we romped home. We have barely strengthened, have the same painfully obvious managerial flaws on show. The comments above about trying to be too clever are accurate.

Welcome to the Promised Land of the Premier League. It is an exercise in futility for clubs of our size and means.

This is the sort of game we have to win to have a hope of staying up.

Normal service resumed from last season then…

BBC has us on 63% possession. I’m surprised reading through the thread.

They cut us open defensively. Williams unmarked repeatedly and we were lucky he didn’t get 2 or even 3. Basic fault.

Always the bridesmaids.

Spain getting the dirty tricks out

How did none of those go in?

Game over.

This is another worrying spell

Pickford saves us

Yeeeeees!

Fantastic work by Bellingham

Watkins for Kane thank goodness

If we could get an equaliser steady, the ship and regroup would be with a chance.

This is getting desperate

No one is picking up Williams

We have managed to get away with Southgate’s misguided loyalty to Harry Kane so far this tournament but now the opposition is considerably better. It’s going to be the story of this tournament if we lose: how we persisted with him for far too long both intra-games and peri-tournament.

That bloke unmarked yet again

Unmarked. WTF?

Get Kane off soon. He’s played, so he’ll get his share of the glory and medal if we win, and his first major trophy. Job done. He’s not the future of England he’s the past so bring on the next generation and put the Spaniards to the sword!
