Pickford playing a blinder!!

Sterling is the quickest we've got though. Think that is a key factor.

And how long for Ashley Young?

He is causing havoc though. Have to keep in for now. Sweden can't handle him. Southgate just needs to tell him to be more ruthless or pass it quicker to a teammate. I'd keep him on.

I worry that Sterling is going to cost us. You have to take your chances and most certainly the easy ones. That should have been a walk in goal. Great first touch, but then did everything wrong.

Sorry, but Sterling just isn't ruthless enough.

Can't work out why anyone would think Young is a better option than Rose. Strange.

Alli having a very poor game.

Walker really annoying me. Surely he isn't under instruction NOT to cross is he?

Sweden by far and away the better side.

We need to work Krafth work more.

Ponderous and scared to make a mistake. Not quick enough balls in.

Yep, this is the ref. Already seems in control.

Pretty sure this is one of the refs who I mentioned as being in control of the game and all the players in another match.

Agree. Showing loyalty is fine, but you have to guage players' fitness levels and any injuries they are carrying. We know Rose can cover for Young and we know Rashford can cover for Alli or Sterling. I dare say Loftus-Cheek too, even though he wasn't great against Belgium.

'To build a team of motivated players a good manager should be able to control himself, before he is able to control them.' Bobby Robson just quoted. Kevin Nolan take note.

It's all about the pace.

Good job it wasn't a buttocks one.

They better. I just bet my house on them.

He said a picture of a player, not the ball boy.
