If you're going to break your duck, it doesn't get much better than against Spain, away
Sterling looks much more comfortable in his club position as a wide striker in this 4-3-3 formation, indeed there are other players who could play that role as most top PL clubs seem to play 4-3-3. The lack of cover for Kane is the worry, the hold up play he did for our second goal was brilliant
In all honesty I am not sure we even HAVE another number 9 in the PL.
Tammy Abraham maybe? After that.....
Abraham is on loan at Villa in the Championship.
Just thinking of English strikers, I can only think of Murray and Troy Deeney who play could play a similar target man role. Calvert-Lewin maybe, but he's not a prolific scorer. Ashley Barnes?
Callum Wilson?
I'd see him as more of a replacement for Jamie Vardy
Bloody fast and can sit on the shoulder of the last defender
Sturridge is to me top of the list for on the shoulder strikers

declared himself for austria.
Has he? - I know he's eligible as he played for the U20's a few years ago but other than a Sky Sports article in March which says he would need to get an Austrian Passport I cant see anything that says he's decided on playing for them over England
So far it's just been hints and rumours, he's never been called up by Austria
Woken up this morning and ‘the boys in Betis’ is still going around my head.
It should have been 3-2 and down to 10 men with half an hour to go. But instead it’s ‘the boys in betis’.
This is why we will never win anything.
We’re like Tottenham. ‘We put the pressure on’.
Nobody I've spoken too in person is using the phrase 'Boys in Betis'. Literally, nobody. You're the only person using it lol.
Incredibly impressive first half performance, executed to perfection. Yet you think we are lucky?
Is Betis even an actual place?
Anyway, I for one am proud of the Sons of Seville.
Home of Real Betis
Yes, but is Betis an actual geographical location?
Like Port Vale or Celtic or Rangers.
The name "Betis" is derived from Baetis, the Roman name for the Guadalquivir river which passes through Seville and which the Roman province there was named after. Real was added in 1914 after the club received patronage from King Alfonso XIII.

How was it a bloody penalty??? - Sky showed a few angles last night, yes all showed Pickford pulling back Rodrigo yet a few mins later showed Rodrigo getting in front of Pickford was because he pulled him back first!!... You could hear the hesitation in Tyler and Smith's voices as they saw the last replay because ended any argument.
Not to mention that lovely word "SHOULD" again!!... Charlton should have been 4-0 down at Highbury inside 15mins when we won 4-2 but we werent... Roland's dad should have worn protection that night but he bloody didnt (and no he wasnt at Highbury)!!
I didn't see Pickford's challenge as a penalty at all as you have said. Sterling getting a boot on the foot moments before Spain got their first was a stonewall penalty however.
I thought Pickford's challenge was marginal, if it was the other way round I'd be screaming for it.
Sterling was just outside the area, but it was a foul.
Great performance by all the team.
Looking forward to Southgate's future as England manager, he seems made for this.
As excellent as Raheems finish was for the first i thought his second goal was the better play by him.
Moving in from the right he pulled across the centre backs shifting them to their right. Kane runs through the gap and Sterling finished from between the posts. Brilliant in its intelligence and simplicity.
Gareth Southgate should win Sports Personality of the Year - I suspect I know what you're thinking but let me remind you that Steve Davis, Nigel Mansell (twice) and Andy Murray (three times so far) have all won SPOTY. None of them are known for their charisma are they?
And who cares if Southgate never actually kicked the ball in the Spain game? Princess Anne, Zara Phillips and Tony McCoy have never jumped a fence in their life and Mansell, Lewis Hamilton, Stirling Moss and John Surtees couldn't win diddly squat without their cars!

They have a Coach of the Year category don't they?
Even as a Spurs fan and one of Kane's biggest fans, he shouldnt be anywhere near SPOTY. Southgate would be a worthy contender for Coach of the Year though.

Harry Kane's performance was certainly appreciated in the Spanish press. Real Madrid must surely have noticed too...
The boys in betis taught him a lesson.
