Young and Sterling. Complete garbage.

 

100% Correct. Playing a right footer at left wing back is dumb. Opposition know they won’t get skinned down the line. Toss decision not taking Bertrand. Sterling total cr*p. Rashford deserved to start rather then him on past performance.

Should have had 3 goals at least in the first 20 minutes. Plus that penalty given Tunisia was complete junk. Tunisia was virtually tackling players all match long, and then the ref gives that bump a penalty? Tunisia got the result they deserved to get, didn't even try to score.

Bloody hell how good was Maguire? He won't be at Leicester for long. Only Tunisia but totally in control at the back (except for one mistake early on) and was our most attacking threat most of the game! Also winning everything in the air. Thought him and Stones were both very good.

 

Ashley Young though. Shouldn't ever receive money for playing football. People like him should need to pay weekly subs and registration fee in order to play this game, yet he gets picked for his national side and receives millions from his club. Amazing.

Thought we played alright, had to deal with a really nasty, niggly Tunisia team. Clearly very limited, so they had to resort to other methods.

 

Harry Kane just scores goals. One of the best strikers in world football without question, Spurs did well to sign him up on a 6 year contract. (Although we know how much they mean...).

 

Big negatives for me were Sterling and Young, really, really rubbish. Young especially. Raises more questions as to why Ryan was left at home to be honest.

 

But get the next game out of the way against a pretty non-team, and we're onto the next stage.

A win but it was Tunisia so can't get carried away

 

Yeah, they were poor. But they weren't going to make it easy, we had to navigate a very nasty 2nd half against a horrible team, they were probably marginally better than Algeria who we couldn't beat in 2010. Wes tuck at it though, didn't get sucked into a lull and the manager actually made positive changes which altered the game.

Lucky lucky. Maguire completely out of his depth, walker out of position, and stones unreliable. Our attack is fast but flatters to deceive. If we make it to the quarters it will be because Kane drags us there.

 

Maguire certainly wasn't out of his depth.............
