I don't know why this is, but you are right. And we always have been.
England have been tactically shite under Robson (until he stumbled on Beardsley), Taylor, Hodgson, Venables, Capello and Eriksson. We have always looked less than the sum of our parts, and the only difference with Southgate...
People say some quite extraordinary things when they're disappointed. He's really not a c.nt is he? He's done his best and massively improved the national side from what overpaid, overrated people previously did. Ultimately, he's just not good enough at the very highest level.
As for Kane...
