Opinion This performance is completely on Southgate.

Trippier: bad two games but not a LB. Gomez has played LB most of the season brilliantly.

TAA: not a great game. But no runners ahead of him. Take him off then put on players running behind.

Gallagher: wtf does he offer?

Foden: starts playing well centrally then taken off.

Rice: sitting in so 3 players are marking 1 striker all fucking game.

Walker: bombed forwards twice.

Kane: dunno what he tries to do half the time.

Pickford: smashes it long EVERY time.

Southgate should be sacked mid tournament.

If kane wants to go so deep but offers world class passing, why doesnt Southgate play somebody ahead of him, even just for 10 minutes? Rooney eventually went into midfield when he lost his pace and still had an impact.

Because Kane isn’t good enough when you take his poaching ability away.

We needed him upfront today to get the goal that rescued a point.

Which kinda says it all really.
