It makes a change to be sat nice and relaxed watching England with 25 minutes to go .
Now it's relaxing that wasn't the case for the opening 35 minutes mind you.

Foden and Bellingham make this team tick.

If it were Sterling and Mount, the manager’s preferred pair going into the tournament, we could have lost tonight. If he is to insist on only playing 3 attackers they need to be able to conjure up the unexpected, like Foden did for goal 1 which opened them up like a tin of beams and Bellingham did the rest.

With this XI, we have a chance, but with this defence it is only a faint chance.

Are you expecting perfection?

Senegal looked decent for the first half hour. The first goal just knocked the stuffing out of them.

I always feel that moving forward is better than slightly backward & sideways.

Senegal are crap...we made them look good with our Slothish play.

Were you the fella who said Kane was a shite footballer?

I'm not sure why you're looking to criticise Southgate about players he didn't pick lol.

Everybody rattling on about that first 30 minutes, Lee Dixon especially, but I thought we were Ok but gave them the ball dangerously 2 or 3 times.

Possession was 72% in that first half hour. We had almost unlocked them a couple of times. I’ve criticised this team often. But that was good tonight.

nah, if we do that against France it's game over - that's the point. Give Mbappe and Giroud those chances and it's a different story

Have you not realised a pattern yet? we're 4 games in, we've scored 12 goals, all 12 goals after the 35th minute.

No team is rock solid. I take your point and it wasn’t ideal but they had a couple of sniffs. That was it. A single good chance.

Good performance. My only grilpe on him has been not picking our best players because they don’t track back well (Foden) but can’t gripe about him tonight, it worked.

It doesn't take much of an expert to see that pattern, all of our goals after the 35th minute. Top scorers in the competition. You'd be an absolute fool to criticise before the 35th minute with the score still level.

Impressive win in the end and another clean sheet that's 3 in a row now.

Still things to improve upon notably at the back, but with the forward talent we'll trouble any side, and I'm not that convinced by France yet, however they do have a front 2 who will pose us plenty of problems.

The French defence isn't that good , so hopefully he'll go with the front 3 that started tonight . Southgate will have sleepless nights dreaming of Mbappe running at Maguire , so there's a good chance he'll go with 3 centre halfs .

Thought we were excellent once we scored. 3 clean sheets in a row and looking super dangerous in attack. Bellingham, Foden and Saka are so good on the ball!

Nonsense.
That slow, ponderous start will be our undoing one day.
A better side will make us pay.
I get that we have to have a good look at what the other side have to offer and to try and take control but we could quite easily have gone behind in this game.

Nice clinical performance can’t fault it . Though Senegal were bluddy awful , the tactical naivety for a corner at 0-1 with 1 min to HT was like an u8 game , almost laughable .

Panned out a bit like a too prem side v mid table champ . Now it really starts let’s see what we can do vs a world class team .

Let’s look at the positives.

After 4 games at this World Cup we have conceded the least (after 4 full games) And scored the most.

France are obviously a very good side, however they have conceded in every game so far and are heavily reliant on Mbappe. If we are going to win this tournament this is exactly the type of team we need to dispatch.

Not in any way shape or form saying he should have to, but it does surprise me that these lads on hundreds of thousands of pounds per week don't employ security teams especially with them spending so much time away from home. This has been happening for years (especially with Liverpool players)
