Italy v England/England v Germany

Did the girl on C4 just say a much improved performance from England. Is she watching the right game??

The problem is staring everyone in face but the media fail to mention it.  Kane playing as a defender, creator for Sterling, surely should be the other way around??

What these so called experts watching, much improved my arse. We have 10 men behind the ball and are hoping for a German mistake ( which they have done regularly) to hit them on the break. This is an awful German team, why not play on the front foot and take the game to them.

The list of decent English players who were unable to replicate their club form to the international stage is endless. Foden and Sterling are certainly candidates for that list.

I don't blame them too much. Can you imagine going from training and playing under the guidance of Pep, aiming for technical perfection, to whatever the **** this shit is?

No Neuer, Muller, Gnabry, Goretzka, Rudiger, Reus and a few more on the bench or out

Germany treating this game as it should be since nothing on the line

Fodens pass behind kane won't be talked about, that was an easy pass for close to a tap in and he made a right mess of it

Sterling is great at getting into good positions but his control, composure, shooting and decision making have always been shite.

He got away with at City because he got so many chances.  The number of times he runs up blind alleys, and only gets  past a man because he bobbles it against the defender and then it falls for him is amazing.  Most of his shots seem to be mistimed scuffs or straight at the keeper. It drives me mad watching him.

But it's not just under this regime. 

Gerrard, Lampard, Scholes and many more seemed totally different players when wearing an England shirt.

100% He's the most infuriating player, because he's a couple of attributes away from world class. In those attributes he's terrible.

No doesn't have to be, look at Son

If Kane wants to do his thing at left back then sterling or a.n.other has to either have the brains or at least the instruction to plug the gap up front and go past him, that's largely this England teams problem, we don't commit men forward and everyone gravitates to being that deeper playmaker, Southgate doesn't organise it well enough to put his most creative players there (grealish) or let the midfield runner push right up (Mount or foden) 

A better manager would have everyone everywhere with this front 3 or 4 and just be full of goals
