Nah, he'll never be good enough for England...

 

From the BBC: Kane has 27 goals in 24 games in 2017.
That's quite a lot, isn't it?

Time for one of the other keepers to get a shot?

 

All those tall defenders and a ball floated into the area causes panic. Very poor.

 

You have to feel for Heaton. Two magnificent saves, two goals from the rebound. No-one is watching the second ball and to be quite honest I cannot figure out England's tactics. Gaping holes between the midfield and defense. Alli constantly out of position and Dier is sadly very, very poor at protecting his back line. Oxlade-Chamberlain has been invisible.

 

Well, The Ox is no central midfielder. No wonder he plays on the flank for the Gooners. Eric Dier is used to Victor Wanyama or Mousa Dembele alongside him, not this level of incompetence.

If Sterling could pass and shoot..... he'd be worth what Citeh paid for him and we'd be in the lead.

 

It's a pretty strong French side against a second string England defence and it shows.
The system looks a mess, too.

 

What system?

 

It's that man again. You know, the one season wonder. Him.

 

Piss about a lot and hope that Kane scores a lot? I think that's it, anyway.

 

Good game (good game, as Brucie would say).
Both teams seem keen to highlight both their strengths and weaknesses.

 

Never a red. And even if it was, this is only a friendly.

 

It's got a pretty decent chance whilst Harry and The Ox are on.

 

Is Southgate playing Walker at left-wingback because he saw Walker-Peters in the U20s?
Very odd decision.

 

WTF was the ref thinking ??
Killed a friendly game as a contest.

 

Cresswell is slower than any full back I can remember. Him up against their flyers?

No thanks.

 

He has taken our "Spur-backs" banter literally.

 

Which makes you question his inclusion in this squad, really.

 

Stones showing his top-notch decision making, again.
