    10mins left.

    Just get the players you don't intend to use again (eze, toney) to get a yellow for time wasting.

    No, in fairness he is way way luckier than david Brent.

    At least Brent actually managed at his own level in Scotland and won thing a.

    Toney made the difference tbf, looked more like a forward than Kane and added more to defending set-pieces.

    Never in doubt right <laugh>

    Even in ET after going 2-1 up with Slovakia having to attack, seemed perfect to get some pace up top in Gordon or Bowen and hit them on the counter.

    But nope, let’s sit back and try defend the 2-1 ffs.

    Going to be very similar game v Swiss

    I find it very dull and embarrassing. We should be taking the game to them but instead we sit back and defend a slender lead like we're lucky to even be involved. Embarrassing.

    Kane reckons Jude's goal is one of the best in our history.

    Fact is Switzerland are a much better team than Slovakia. Took an ordinary Italy apart and then never looked troubled by them.

    Well that was completely underwhelming. Suppose we got through but the Swiss will roll over us if we play like that against them.

    Go to a back 3.

    Walker to CB with Guehi and Stones
    Trent RWB, Saka LWB
    Mainoo, Rice and Bellingham across the mid
    Kane and Toney(or any of the others) up front.

    Foden needs dropping, done **** all, Trippier probably injured and been rubbish anyway (Shaw is never playing)

    To be honest, Switzerland have a decent chance of making the final if they can keep their performances up.

    Italy went out to Switzerland
    We struggled Vs Slovakia

    If Spain go out to Georgia, do attitudes change? Maybe it's the tournament for the underdogs

    Foden has been much better than Bellingham, you could have stuck a cardboard cutout of Bellingham on the pitch for the 270 minutes and nobody would know the difference.

    A cardboard cutout would have more impact than kane.

    Southgate doesn't even play a modern formation. He plays 4231, a popular formation 10-15 years ago.

    Literally most of the England squad are used to playing 433
