Why should it be different for managers than what it is for players?

Thought that was fairly straight forward:D

An England manager should be English. Wasn't happy when the FA appointed Wiegman and would be equally disappointed if they went down that route again. The FA have gone on and on about English clubs not giving English coaches a chance and they go and appoint someone from Holland themselves...

Some of the most knowledgeable people around are women we’ve seen on our screens in the past couple of days.

As good as it can be there (crap). Hopefully it’ll be a lot better with 3000 Sweatys there on Friday rather than a couple of hundred Croatians.

Does Rupert take the Andrex into the forest?

Get in there. Buzzing! Got some work to do yet but plenty of positives to take from the performance. Trippier, Phillips, Sterling and Rice all very good. Solid from the rest. Once Mount and Foden get going we’ll be well on our way. On to Friday.

What others have said is right. Teams that play defensive football tend to do well in tournaments. It would be interesting to see what happens if we went all out attack though. I doubt many sides would be able to handle it.

He’s an incredibly articulate and intelligent individual. Throughly nice chap too.

On reflection it makes sense to call up White if he’s keeping Maguire and Henderson around. He can cover either position. What I don’t get at the moment is why both are still there.

It's weirder that someone would be bothered.

Really feel for anyone that has lost some or all of them. The way how the ballot has been conducted since isn’t the best too.

Plenty to work to do in the next week. Bit pissed off with Henderson. He was making a point of pulling up the armband as he told Calvert-Lewin to give him the ball. Never scored for us and I think that was his first pen since he missed the one against Colombia. Was impressed with White. Looks...

Had our tickets uploaded to the app. Top tier which is a bit shit but feel lucky and thankful to be there. Ours are pretty cheap (Cat 3) and some others that have gone for that price point are in the prime seats in the lower tier. There are some that have paid a lot more than us for Cat 2 or...

The issue is the amount of players available to him for tomorrow. It’s not ideal but makes sense to use who is available.

I would rather see James (or Henderson for that matter) out for JWP but can see why all 4 right backs are in there. All 4 have differing qualities and can play elsewhere. Other than those two I’m struggling to work out what else I’d change.

Interestingly Scholes said he felt he shouldn’t have been in the squad for the two years before he was left out as he wasn’t good enough. Was a bit taken back when he said that.

1-4 now. Only half time too!

Meh, we made a good racket but we’ve seemed louder with a couple of thousand at somewhere like Notts County or Barnsley. Would’ve preferred them to take place at Old Trafford.

Awful place. There aren’t many plus points for it and plenty of negatives against it in comparison with other stadia. In normal circumstances I don’t want a home tournament. This time it’s different though. Will take anything!
