Decent first half, could be better, but still seems more positive than previous.

2 shots on target in the first half.
Not great against this calibre of opposition

 

[Arthur Wedge]

Don’t think England have played too badly - the intent there is certainly and they are creating chances , just get Kane in the box more , it’s a bit too crowded at times on the edge

 

[PaulMdj]

Useless, absolutely useless!

 

[Arthur Wedge]

That’s a very good finish - no surprise when he is an area where he can do the most damage

Decent assist from TAA

Gordon has been very good on the left

Gomes having a decent game - busy , tidy

 

[Pin-seeker]

Time for a few changes imo

 

[BrianM]

Anthony Gordon was Englands best player again in my opinion.

He’s in the box though !
Where he should be

Most people criticise Kane for dropping to deep.
If he stays on the CB shoulder he dosnt have to run through all that treacle to catch Saka or Gordon.

 

[BrianM]

I’d imagine Kane will get Man of the Match though

Yes shows how poor Southgate’s decisions to leave him out was.

Deffo best boots.

How's it the referee is always positioned so that he is blocking a potential pass across the edge of the box...he's like an extra defender at times.

 

[PaulMdj]

Should never of started

 

[Billysboots]

Lovely goal.

 

[Slime]

Should never of started

I think you're wrong.
He should never have started.

 

[RichA]

Madueke looks like class.
Is it my imagination or are England's usual suspects not throwing themselves on the floor like they have been for the last few years?

Nope! You need to watch it again, he started tracking back when TAA intercepted the ball and put him through, he carried it into the box, beat a man and scored.

2nd goal he was in the box.

 

[Pin-seeker]

Brilliant from Kane

 

[nickjdavis]

How many times has Grealish been fouled tonight? ...or the other night against Ireland?

Has he been told to be more positive and to try to create stuff rather than simply play to draw fouls?

Been class & showed why he should have gone to the euros.
Must be a nightmare to play against.

Agree...think he has had a fine game.
