During the national anthem I said to my older boy that if Southgate was picking players on form there's no way McGuire or Kane should be anywhere near the starting line up tonight.

There is a small chance that I might've been wrong about that.
Form is temporary, class is permanent! ?

No you were correct.
Imagine what the score could have been with a decent striker ?
 
Good points made by the pundits about Kane not dropping too deep and being in the box a lot more than recent games.
In fairness to Kane, he ends up dropping too deep when his teammates can't get him the ball. Same as Rooney used to - he gets fed up and goes looking for it. When the team is actually functioning properly he doesn't need to do it half as much. He will always drop a little bit because that's his game, he wants to create as well and that's why you need a player like Sterling, or Son, who runs beyond the striker frequently.
