    Pundits raving about our 'performance' despite not having a shot against Switzerland in a game we have to win.

    I enjoyed that. England played better. Foden wants the ball and his movement on it great. Bellingham seems a bit freer as a result. Saka has switched on 1v1. We just look more fluid and players seem to have more energy. Press was much better.

    Swiss very good too. Really dangerous on the break and when they switch it. Konsa done well against Embolo at times.

    Kane has stayed high up the pitch?! Am I watching a different game?

    Yeah. I agree. I was bored. No attempts at goal. No one running past the defensive line.

    Walcott reckons that Kane is keeping the centre halves occupied and sacrificing himself for the team???? What the actual ****ing game do these people watch????

    Dad isn’t it. I’m watching it thinks “we’ve been much better” yet the game has been really poor!

    We have been much better all in all! Just tells you how bad we’ve been so far.

    Need a Lineker type of player in there way too weak, need to run through the middle now and again, Spain the best team so far Stones never touched that diving player, it is still going on.

    Watkins and Toney are on the bench tbf ... either would be better than Kane, who'll probably score now <laugh>

    Kane has done brilliantly for England over the years but you don't win games on sentiment. Yes he can do nowt for 89 mins and pop up with the winner in the 90th but do you hold out for that possibility when you need to win the game?

    Honestly think he’s more of a passenger than Ronaldo was for Portugal. At least Ronaldo presses occasionally. I haven’t seen Kane move faster than a trot all tournament - or successfully hold the ball up. For all of the issues in the team, I really reckon the excuses up top are our biggest.
