Not bad that kid eh? Love to see the redemption after the shameful finish last time.

The quality of the paint finish I was watching dry tonight was really quite pleasant! Great series of penalties to win it, although for the first time I felt we had another gear, we just forgot to engage it in extra time?

Delighted to be wrong! We have no chance against the Dutch though. Let’s hope I’m wrong again 😂

Chance against Holland despite our best efforts, but Spain... That'll be tricky.

That game was definitely an improvement, 1st half certainly. Kane still seems to be the problem, which is an off thing to say about someone as successful for club and country as he's been.

Kane is a great goalscorer, but doesn't seem to fit the style we are playing. Watkins showed the value of a striker who could spin off a defender and make a channel run, something that Kane just doesn't do. Far too isolated most of the time. He is too predictable and easy to defend against.

We were good first half without creating a lot but then struggled when they had their good spell. Whether forced or not, he got his subs right both then and when he had to take Kane off too. Superb penalties too.
Who knows from here. I’m not scared of the Dutch but we’ll need to be solid again to beat them.

Assuming he brought Toney and TAA on with pens in mind, I wonder who wouldn't have been in the first 5 if Kane was still on the pitch?

Assume Trent, you'd be foolish to put your 5th best any other position than 5th given that they might not have to take one.

Our takers looked well prepared- it looks like they’ve been practicing which is nice to see!

Definitely an improvement on our recent showings. Looked like Pens a long way out though, only surprise was it wasn’t 0-0. Palmer set the tone with his pen, cool, calm and confidently put away, the rest followed.
I wonder if we can get 60 mins out of Shaw on Wednesday. Considering the time he’s been out I thought he was excellent when he came on, including a superb last man interception.

Toney's technique, or rather his approach to taking the penalty by not looking at the ball, is quite exceptional...if a little scary.
