Good positive start.

That Mainoo is looking like the best midfielder England have got.

I think Kane is the problem. We need a goal hanger - not another midfielder mincing around the D when we finally get a cross in.

Saka is having his best game so far but there is no one there for him in the box when he beats the defender

Please tell me I’m not the only one shouting at the TV when we end up with the ball at Pickford’s feet from our own corner. Unbelievable.

It happens. Not exactly the end of the world

Kanes movement in the box is none existent. If I were Saka I’d be giving him plenty of grief.

It’s 3 at the back. Saka and Trippier are wing backs

On the wrong sides! Trippier is right footed, Saka left, so when defending Trippier is having to come inside on to his right foot.

I didn’t say it was. But when it’s part of a pattern of negativity it’s a problem. It merely typifies the sideways and backwards mentality of England under Southgate.

Portugal went home because they insisted on playing a slow, aged has-been up front for 120 mins...
...We're in danger of doing the same!

 

[Pin-seeker]

Give Saka the ball & tell him to run at his man.

And get Kane off ......................................... immediately!

 

[PaulMdj]

Better first 45 minutes. Plenty of positives, but still some frustrating moments as well.

 

[Deleted member 29109]

Good first half. A bit of movement from Kane and we could easily be a couple in front.

 

[Slime]

Build up play is still very slow and laboured.

Yes corners and free kicks have been woeful.

Kane dosnt look sharp to me he’s on his heels

Saka got the fullback on toast but still comes inside to much just coming into traffic.

Going to be settled on a bit of individual skill just hope he’s in white.

Not impressed up to now four games in !

You're having a laugh ....................... movement .......................... Kane?
On today's showing, he's as useful as an ashtray on a motorbike.

 

[Doon frae Troon]

Good close game between two class sides.
