Kane shouldn’t have started. Turns out he’s been injured, explaining his even worse mobility. (Examined in detail at times today on the radio) GS made a tactical adjustment at HT by pushing Saka forward. Leading directly to the opener seconds later and countless chances just afterwards...

In a nutshell that sums up Southgate’s negative approach. Unbelievable.

But then who’s our 90 minutes DM destroyer? That’s not Mainoo’s game and Gallagher was awful.

Foden was good against the Netherlands. I thought Foden played well tonight, his work rate and trying to make things happen. Sadly for him, Rice/Kane/Mainoo offered little.

He can’t.

Deja vu from other England match threads. If only England had Gabriel, Jorginho and Saliba.

At least he’s rich beyond his wildest dreams and takes in more oxygen than us mere mortals.

Konsa was a clear level up on Guehi. Called at the time by many on NSC. Yet GS brings back Guehi.

Some comfort for them, at least Kane won the Bundesliga and Rice the PL .

He has the media in his pocket.

And why now? Shirley they could’ve done it a couple of hours ago.

With Steele and Verbruggen it’s an unerring long pass to any team mate on the pitch. Pickford’s used to long punts to target man Calver-Diver in an arm wrestle with CB’s. Midfielders hoping to win scraps. A totally different concept and not good enough at the highest level.

Spain have far, far better footballers. Ten outfield players with pace to burn, so relaxed and instinctive on the ball, simple passing triangles tearing any team apart. At 1-0 up 4 of them were pressing Pickford/Stones, hunting in packs. When was the last time we had several CM’s who play...

The most one sided final at any level, since Barca tore Manure apart at Wembley in 2011. 4-0 wouldn’t have been unfair. Guehi, Kane, Trippier & co wouldn’t have been worthy champions. Spanish players are light years ahead of them in every facet. We did finally play well against the Swiss and...

Geuhi didn’t do his job.

Saka’s torn Hair-Bear inside out all game. With the Invisible Man subbed off, now he has company to pass to.

Individual brilliance saves us again.

I wonder if Potter will play Kane in the autumn qualifiers?

Shearer’s drone.

Since HT, no defensive or midfield shape. By contrast Spain, without the ball, still an exemplary back 4 and midfield shape.
