    Kane needs to remember that his hero Sheringham played alongside a number 9 for England, whereas HE is our number 9

    If Southgate wants to win this game, I’m not certain he does? He needs to grow some substantially large nuts very quickly!!. 
  • We need to pick up the pace. Too slow and ponderous.

    Kane looks out of touch.

    Would we be better matching them up by going 352?

    I think we'd be better get rid of Sterling for Grealish and having another playmaker in the middle. 

    Kane needs to be told either to shape up or go home. Doesn't even look like he wants the ball when Foden or Mount have it.

    I think Steve Clarke has outsmarted Southgate a bit. Playing 2 up top is worrying our defence a bit and Gilmour in the middle is getting too much time. 
    Take Stirling off or even Mount who has contributed little,  get Grealish on. 
    Gilmour bar a couple of moments has been gash.
    He's been the best midfielder for both teams if that's anything?

    Foden has the potential to be an England great. We just aren’t using him to any effect which is so depressing.

    I cannot comment, so i will.  Football passes me by these days and only really interested in Charlton and even then through this great board. Who do i know in this England team apart from the obvious Kane and Stirling?

    But one thing is for sure, i have seen enough games over the years to know there is a sting in the tail here, and not in our favour.

    Never been a Southgate fan.

    Sterling shouldn’t be playing. He offers nothing.
    Been poor tonight, Bowyer would have had him off for bottling two tackles in first five minutes. Probably score now🙄.

    This is like watching Charlton v Millwall. 
    And we all know what the final result usually is.

    How can everyone see this game needs Grealish but Southgate can't.

    That's why Mount is on, creates something from nothing.

    Kane already looks better around the box. STAY THERE

    There’s definite instruction to keep those wingbacks back and I hate it. Shaw and James are both scared to travel with the ball.

    Thats such a restrictive way to play.

    Southgate has always been conservative. Will never change.

    Can any of our players fucking cross the ball without hitting the first defender...!!!

    It's painful watching knowing what a difference Grealish and Bellingham would make. Would not be surprised at all if Rashford and Henderson come on instead

    How is Henderson the man who's going to come on?

    The Italians, Dutch, Belgiums, French & Germans wont be fearing us. We must be one of the worst teams in this competition.

    England looking too much like the bad old days - carrying the weight of the world on their shoulders. Not like these players.

    Italy havent let a goal in for around 15 games.....and unbeaten in their last 30. Scored 3 goals in both of their 2 games.

    It’s all well and good having squad depth but it means nothing when your manager is a stubborn man.

    Kane looking very ponderous when he runs
