Southgate needs to be brave and take Harry Kane off.

Or just tell him to start trying.

Sack Southgate.

Hire Claude Puel.

Improve excitement levels.

[Jonnyboy]

Couldn't he have had a pop with his left foot?

Harry Kane, our sloth in the box.

Yep, on the rare occasions he's been in the box. So little movement.

It’s bizarre how crap he’s been this tournament but the World Cup was the same once we got out the group

Fucking lottery 

[Sheaf Saint]

I'm gonna stick my neck out and make a prediction. We'll score a great goal and take the lead, then Germany will get a late equaliser in controversial circumstances and then go on to win on penalties.

Nobody to bring on apart from Rashford. I'd prefer him though at the minute

If I'm making excuses for him I'd say that he doesn't make runs as nobody picks him out. He's been playing like a false 9 who doesn't even drop off. As you say, bizarre.

This, play well will feel we should have won, go to pens and lose 

[stknowle]

What the actual fuck is going on with Kane? Plodding around and then fucking up a gilt edged chance that fell into his lap. If that's Spurs v us he buries it first time no messing about. 

[Lord Duckhunter]

Shearer agrees, get it in the fucking mixer

Does Southgate have the guts to change things about when two of our best players are on the bench. 

[trousers]

[Suhari]

I expect Germany will step it up, I suspect we are not able to.

[Antrimsaint]

Germany are going to target midfield and get a red. Thats what Id do.

He'll wait 'till we're down to 10 men.

[trousers]

Superb save Pickford

[vectraman]

Has Harry Kane forgotten how to run? It’s cringeworthy watching him plod about.

Get him off and get someone on who at least puts the effort in. But Southgate won’t do that will he?

could do with Bamford up front to give us a focal point. Shame he didn’t make the squad 😬

So you're saying it's got 0-0 written all over it?

Wtf was sterling doing then avoiding the pass to Kane? Balls aren't going to him when he's available. Odd.

[verlaine1979]

England look like saints on the ball. The passes go approximately where they're meant to go, just with less zip and conviction than the opposition.

Adams and Ings up there and England would be 3-0 up

Or Watkins. Or Ings. We need someone who can lead the line and make runs.

4d chess from Harry. If he plays shit then this value won't go up so then buying clubs won’t get priced out of trying to sign him...

Please be injured Kane (not too badly of course)

Ah. I only ventured on to the thread at HT so I must have missed it.

[Toussaint]

Are Sterling and Redmond the same person?

[obelisk]

Yesterday it was notable how most players were always looking for a forward pass. Today it's a bit like watching Saints.
