You dont think he makes rash tackles and gives away some poor fouls? Against the likes of France, Germany, Spain and Italy it could cost England.

I wouldn't say rash no. He breaks up play and often stops the counter of attack. Also add in that he's got a handful of caps and never played European club football. The majority of his tackles wouldn't be free kicks in the Premiership. You can't have a decent team without a midfielder willing to put his foot in. He's played against a strong and experienced midfield, and come out on top. I doubt anyone fears how he'll do as the tournament progresses

Hes not much chance of playing European club football in truth.

Not for a couple of years. By then UEFA will probably have made it so the top 16 in each league gets a place anyway

Thats probably true but Bielsabub will have gone by then.

Thought Philipps was a clear MoM yesterday and don`t particularly agree he makes rash tackles.
What might catch him out is the over reactive European ref who will book him cos he goes in too hard.
Mings was very good and I would say Kane was the only player off the pace and Walker in the first half.
KP even made Sterling look good!
And whilst Sterling got the goal I do think he loses the ball alot and fails to find the man as much as I would like.
Told you he`s a slightly better version of Harrison

Yeah, Walker and Kane were the ones off form, Walker certainly was going forward. Long tournament though, but a good solid start. I actually think we could play a lot better than we did yesterday which is good for us imo.

Totally agree and we will have to play better should we reach the quarters.
