    Tuchel should ask Bayern what they do to force Kane to actually play like a striker.

    BBC summarisers saying how it is. This ITV guy is a twat - just coming out with airy positive bollocks when it has been a total disgrace of a performance

    Keep getting caught 1v1, 2v2 etc at the back. Eventually they are going to pay for one of those. Defensively we look really dodgy again.

    Same comment as vs Ghana ‘how many passes have gone to a stationary England player’ Movement in front of the ball is non existent again. 

    Delivery from wide areas not great, but nothing to aim at - Rogers anonymous, Bellingham wasted that deep and Kane really quiet again.

    Right back scares me, he is all over the shop. Spence would surely be a better bet there?

    At some point we surely gamble with an extra striker?

    No idea what happened between Croatia and Ghana but it's not resolved.

    At this point just give us Portugal in the R32.

    It’ll either spark some life or this pain will be over.

    No quality and still looking very open at the back. Tuchel's had time to figure out how we'll break down the low block and doesn't seem like there's been much progress.

    I think the biggest problem is O’Reilly. He’s not doing anything when he drifts inside and he’s leaving us short at the back against a side who like to counter. He’s effectively a passenger

    Looking like we might have peaked vs Croatia. It’s still that 10 men behind the ball problem for England, but Panama don’t look as good at it as Ghana.

    Fully agree. 

    It just absolutely clogs the pitch. It works for City because he drifts in at the back post and contributes. 

    It’s not his fault - he’s clearly been instructed to play that way and is used to doing it. 

    We need to get him overlapping and giving us something else.

    Boring, bang average 5 out of 6 halves of football. Our defence is going to be mauled when we play a good team.

    Tuchel is trying to do exactly what Bayern do with Kane - let him roam around and have pace running beyond him. It ain’t clicking for England though.

    Spent that whole half either not in the right place or just getting in the way.

    Spent 9 months watching Nathan Jones commit acts of terrorism against football and it was still no worse than what we’ve served up the last 135 minutes. 

    You could replace Kane with one of the teletubbies and nobody would notice.
    Give me Nathan Jones ball over this. At least you can see a tactical plan.

    I think the answer is a bloke called Olise.

    We’ve made Kane look like Lydon Dykes. Quite impressive.

    That’s the concern. Our defence looks iffy. If we looked like banging in goals it would be ok but we dont

    Apart from 20 minutes against Croatia it has been really poor.

    We desperately could do with the likes of Maguire or Trent . Tuchel has cocked up big time with picking this squad . We look bang average and I’m sorry to say it , Konsa isn’t good enough.

    Drop back, spray a 50 yard ball to Saka. Saka can’t run so it either goes off the pitch or ends with us losing the ball and being countered. 

    The middle of the pitch currently has Anderson, Bellingham, O’Reilly, Rogers and Kane within about 10 yards of eachother at all times.

    Foden and Palmer not good enough for this midfield? Righto.

    Go back to the 70's & 80's. Boot it long & fight for the scraps. No point trying to pass it around as that's getting us nowhere. 

    Might as well do it now as we will on 85 mins when it's still 0-0.

    Quite hard to believe this is this is the same team that we watched in the second half vs Croatia. We don't seem to have any final ball, we could have had about 6 vs Croatia in the first 20 minutes of the second half

    We are effectively playing three at the back . O’Reilly is neither defending or attacking .

    Compare our performances to those of France and any talk of us winning the tournament is laughable.

    Antony Barry just said 'there's no easy games in The World Cup' but top teams normally disprove that cliché bullshit

    This is not an improvement on what Southgate was doing, it’s supposed to be!, not been impressed with Tuchel at all for England, talking the the talk!! But……
