Damien Delaney

Very, very impressed with what they did.

And I felt last night they were really, really good in a lot of aspects of the game.

You know, they're not playing against mugs.

You know, their opening game is against Croatia, a very, very good team.

Players sprinting across Europe.

And they made the first half very, very difficult for England.

And I think they tidied some things up at half-time, which is why I like Tuchel, which is why I'm so impressed with him.

I think they just... You know, the Anthony Barry interview beforehand, you could tell he was furious that their game plan, they weren't...

implementing it I think they weren't allowed to implement it but they were very very good it's just such a modern team it's full of pace it's full of energy it's full of guile Anderson is just a beast in midfield you know they've got real legs pace at the back as well full backs willing to join in pace on the wings Harry Kane dropping deep you know when we think back to the Southgate era

in replay with, with wingers, it was the wing backs, you know, Luke Shaw on one side, and then they packed the midfield with five players, so they had two sixes, and then they had maybe a 10, and Foden and Grealish were coming off the wings, and that was a very congested central area, and England always seemed to be just bouncing passes coming out, and,

You know, they were very, very solid.

Even in possession, they were always worried about getting counter-attacked.

They always had that back three with the two sixes in front.

So they were very, very solid.

And it would get a bit monotonous, a bit boring to watch them.

But I think this England team is just full of energy and flair.

And Thomas Tuchel has obviously decided to go with wingers, like proper chalk-on-your-heel wingers.

Anthony Gordon, Nani Maduake.

And they're the ones that are supposed to threaten him behind.

Harry Kane is obviously a designated role.
