Mancini played a blinder. Freshened up multiple times. Used the right subs at the right time.

He was also clueless in the first half. We decided to hold on for 45 minutes and invited far too much pressure.

Lads. It’s disappointing, but we have a championship season to look forward to. The lows in football make the highs worth it.

Rashford should stick to his free school dinners campaign, that’s all he’s good at.

No, statistically and factually, it 'did for them'. What did for us is the way we went about the game for the next hour and a half.

That's kind of what I mean. It made us too defensive.

It's true. They've done great this tournament, but only wins count as success. Got to try again in 18 months time.

So losing the final on penalties is no better than getting knocked out in the group stage?

It's hard to take penalties, rashfords miss created a spiral of doubt ..he tried to be too clever .

But should they have been on them without even really touching the ball ?

Don't worry - They'll fall at the first hurdle. It's in their genes.

That stuttering run up before a penalty- you need to be getting those right cause if you don’t you look a total and utter idiot

God only knows why they don’t just put their foot through it Maguire style under that pressure, it’s not the time for bloody training ground penalties in a situation like that

its a game. I’m pissed off but think of the journey as well. The semi was something special. Italy roughed the lads up and did a pro job.

Football was less painful when players were making up Balogun rumours.

We sat too deep, brough it on ourselves. We've got players who can hurt teams but they're no good sat on the edge of our 18 yard box. Just way too conservative. If we'd have got a second goal it would've killed the game.

If we’d gone for the second and conceded on the counter what do you think would have happened then? The tactics sound and has got us here and city promoted

When you look at a replay of our goal it’s like looking at a different team completely to the one that played the last hour of the game

I still don’t get how mount got so much game time, looked knackered after 70. Then Henderson came on and off.

how come rashford dint come on at half time of extra time. Was stripped and ready.

It’s not a huge criticism but he did get the big decisions wrong today after half time. He needs to learn as much as the players

Southgate deserves a lot of credit for the way england have progressed over the last few years BUT he should be rightly criticised for the late substitutions and choice of penalty takers. The last three never looked like scoring.

Same as the last 55 years but we did win a lot of games to get the chance to win something
