I didn't say he was all that, did I? Like you, I thought he was decent. No more, no less.
That touch is absurd is all I was saying. Stones was trying to clear the ball and he took it under control like it was nothing.

He was good tonight and I am happy that he opened his account for England. And I loved the still, as it reflects his playing style perfectly (the style so many have been clamouring for).He justified his place. That’ll do for me tonight.

The age old problem.I don't think you can drop Kane. If there was one chance in a game I would pick him over any other English player. That's worth its weight in gold as we progress. He won't get dropped anyhow its this around him that cause the debate.
He scores you THAT chance.
He’s not playing and the team creates 15 other chances and THAT chance isn’t needed.
Place you're bets now.

Apologies, I didn‘t mean you had said that, but that it had been said of him tonight.I didn't say he was all that, did I? Like you, I thought he was decent. No more, no less.

He’s got more natural ability than any English player since Gazza. He hasn‘t changed as many games as he should have yet and hopefully will moving forwards.
Or Rashford ; )

Sick.of saying it germany were not a top team at that time. Croatia and Italy didn't have better players than us.Southgate is in his 3rd major finals. He's only lost 1 game* in normal time. A group game against Belgium. He lost a semi final to Croatia in extra time and a final to Italy in extra time. The only other top team he has ever faced was Germany in the Euros and he beat them (Raz got the first).
*I'm ignoring the 3rd place play off that he lost.
Winners win losers make excuses, same in every sport The limp and cowardly way we lost was unacceptable. Robson and Venables tried to win and were positive against great teams.
They were better managers both domestically and internationally. They had some iffy periods that's the nature of the job. They weren't fearful though.

I think the point is is that Southgate makes us not shit enough for us to call for his head quite as much as if we’d have lost in the round before in each of the tournaments he’s been in charge of.Sick.of saying it germany were not a top team at that time.

There is always that game. Chances are thin on the ground , players are knackered extra time is looming. The team that wins? The one with that player.The age old problem.

He is also our best penalty taker. Harry Kane is a proven top quality striker. 3 games with 3 assists doesn't stop that being the case.

Yeah I would say Iceland and I think it was Algeria were the lowest of the low as an England fan. Which I am just about.I think the point is is that Southgate makes us not shit enough for us to call for his head quite as much as if we’d have lost in the round before in each of the tournaments he’s been in charge of.
