20:01Tom ColeyNeville on poor defending Defending came from being slow on the ball, getting caught and giving it away in poor areas but the lack of movement in front. I’ve been genuinely worried for our midfield this tournament, although, I think their stray passes from full-back to winger. If you’re France, looking at possibly playing England - there’s a long way to go - you’re thinking there is opportunities because Harry Maguire does give the ball away then they ge tcaught out. There’s been three big chances for Senegal and they will be ruing their chances second-half, they should’ve been 1-0 up.
England vs Senegal LIVE: Kick-off time, team news and goal updatesIt's game day for Gareth Southgate and his Three Lions as they bid to book their place in the quarter-final of the World Cup by beating Senegal. England head into the game in fine form having not lost at the tournament so far. Their only blip came against the USA on match day two, but the defence dug deep to cling onto a 0-0 draw. They corrected that poor performance by delivering a huge win over their British rivals Wales on Tuesday. A brace from a reinvigorated Marcus Rashford, as well as a goal from Manchester City's Phil Foden, was enough to condemn The Dragons to a costly defeat that saw them crash out of the competition, having only taken one point from their three games.
England have been really slow on the ball, it’s been a pattern of the first three games. 20:01Tom ColeyNeville on KaneNever in doubt. With his quality, two bits of brilliance really from England. They were so predictable but second goal was fantastic. This is what you want from a midfielder, brilliant, powerful, strong, anticipation, can we get something at the end? Foden - bit of luck - deflection and game over, Kane with a dream chance. He’s probably looked sluggish in this half but once he got that chance bet he couldn’t believe it, one-on-one with the goalkeeper, he’s never missing this - never. 19:56Tom ColeyWright praiseIt was worrying for about 35 minutes, like we thought they would they pressed us very well, there wasn’t much movement, not too many options in the midfield for the defenders and we make mistakes.
