As much as I love City , there’s nothing quite to match the tension of a England World Cup knockout game for tension

Probably the PO Final and the odd game in the 76 promotion season

For me its the scarcity that makes it special. It's only every 4 years. Most of us will watch only 15 or 20 world cups in our lifetime. Therefore every knock out game is important, as if we lose them that's one more of those relatively few chances you have to see your team win. There's no club competition like it.

Back to this slow passing around at the back, almost cost a goal.

In danger of following a fall into the USA game

Tbf to Stones , Maguire they aren’t passing forward because players aren’t finding space for the pass , as was case against USA

They either have to be braver and give marked players it on the half turn or , be patient and hope that Senegal drop off their tracking as the minutes tick by

I dunno, the JPT is pretty special ;)

Saka is a very good player, but against physical opposition like Senegal he does tend to look lightweight. He gets  too easily knocked off the ball and especially in dangerous areas.

Walker is having a mare. Defensively being beaten and has no ability to make a forward pass. John Stones isn't doing much better.

Only MBappe to face him IF we get through this one.

Get in! Undeserved but sod it.
