@Mattspur been good then has it? If any of the spurs players, maybe with the exception of walker so far had played like they have in a spurs shirt, there would be anger on here.

Not good, but not poor. just pretty average. Dier has done ok, as has Walker and Rose. Kane is the only one who is having a tough time.

I thought Roy had left. Guess I was mistaken.

Jordan Henderson is grade A turd.

What's the lowest offer Liverpool would accept for their captain?

Serious answers please!

Kane hasn't been awful with the ball at his feet but it's much the same as recent months - just doesn't seem to have the same fight, spark and sharpness as when he first came into the team. I'm not convinced that to keep playing him in the hope he will score goals is the answer... I want the performances back, not just the goals.

He looks pre 1415 season. Very leggy and slow. Perhaps a goal or two to get him bafk in the swing of things.

For me England play a high tempo game at a slow tempo.

Caught between 2 stools, need to recognise their own strengths and play to them.

Dier the only midfielder passing through the lines which is good to see. Refs don't comment on it but Rooney and Henderson endlessly ping it backward or sideways.

More into the feet of lala and sterling will be good. Problem is they need the cam nearby for quick passes but Rooney is keeping company with Hart when we are trying to move the ball forward.

Kanes touch has been woeful for first 30 minutes but better involved last 15. Definitely he did skrytyl who should be off for second bookable offence.

Rose poor touch in the 18 yards could have us a goal.

Would love to see Rashford and vardy for some direct play. Not sure if Rashford is even on the bench though.

Kane hasn't had a break since he broke into the team. Maybe we shouldn't have been so negligent and flogged him like a horse all last season.

He could steadily play his way into form and have another great season, but the physical and mental fatigue is cumulative and it will catch up with him eventually.
