‘ Overall we won ‘ Harry Kane
‘ A clean sheet is important ‘ Harry Kane
‘ I think a win is good ‘ Harry Kane
The gems of wisdom post match from the England Captain. His in depth analysis vital in the understanding of the game.
‘ we try to play the opposition in front of us ‘ Jude Bellingham.
A draw would have been a fair result but the Bellingham goal divided the teams. Bellingham deserved player of the match gracefully elegant and tenacious. A number 10 that wants the ball and is willing to chase for it. Exactly what we need.
Kane headed off his six yard box and hit the bar off the hand of the Serbian goal keeper. Jordan Pickford avoided the draw with a magnificent save.
Serbia were good and the second half they won. The changes by the England coach indicated lack of self confidence with the substitutions of Bowen and Gallagher two journeymen lacking the added elegance of Palmer.
To defend so early is panic and not the profile of the would be champions. Those that score will win games , we must score. Marc Guehi making his debut as central defender was excellent and delivered all that was called of him. As Ferdinand the commentator said he was ‘ calm and very well spoken showing his character ‘
So, in summary , we won , 3 points but we didn’t look like Champions.
Even Gary Lineker spoke sense tonight and his football expertise shone through. Stick to the day job Gary , you’re good at it.
