Kane maybe thinking twice about playing with Sterling and Foden (lets forget he would have KDB putting him in every 3 minutes).

Kane needs a Son type player beside him, who can take it wide or go ahead of him allowing him a chance to play as a playmaker.

I think I would like to see Grealish, Kane and Sancho up top but not sure Kane deserves to play next game, not many of them do.

and Rashford got his touches by dripping deep or going wide.

Sterling is good, but not against a back 5, Sterling should have gone off first for Grealish so that we had he and Foden looking to dance through.

Yeah I do agree Kane was poor, but this team is set up to utilize Sterling and Mount rather than the one player who actually scores.

Still, I wonder how much the whole THFC palava is affecting him?!

I said it before the tournament, Safegate is wasting the best young attacking talent we have had in a generation. Looked like we played for the draw

I think Pep's likely to try and move him on. City need a bit of a rebuild.

So much wrong
2 holding midfielders doesn’t work
Sterling is shit
Kane has zero service
Mount, fuck knows what he does
Start Sancho over Sterling, Grealish over Rice, Rashford over Mount and actually make a go of it
We’re going nowhere on this tournament being this conservative with attacking player we have on bench
After watching Spurs be shit all season, it’s like a continuation watching England

He did kinda bring it on himself, though. We said at the time the timing is utterly erratic and nonsensical, especially with the Euros coming up.

What is he supposed to do if he isn't getting the service he needs? I'm reading lots of comments about how shit he is but nobody quantifying that with a good reason??

I didn't say he was shit. I said he looks like he'd rather be on holiday than making pointless runs because the 3 behind him are all trying to beat the entire defence on their own.

I'm still dumbfounded he kept Sterling on.

England are an average side hugely overrated by media and pundits yet again.

Shite CBs, shite CM, and picking the wrong players in attack.

There are far better teams in the competition who will wipe the floor with England.

It’s true of this tournament and about every tournament England have ever entered

Southgate is a fucking fraud. Playing 2 DMs against fucking Scotland. Formation is terrible, energy is terrible. We will get knocked out in the first game after the group if we play like that. ??

How they're going in on Kane with Southgate too is a mystery. The whole team was a problem ffs

Funny how Souness is trying to say Scotland were so great, yet never argues the case of the underdog being better when he’s on Sky talking about Premier League matches. He’s said teams we’ve beaten 4-0 were shit rather than complimenting us.
