I don't think the second goal was a total fluke. Every Dubravka punch goes out straight-ish to about the edge of the box. Trippier should have been able to alert us to that, but didn't. Eze was the first with the football intelligence to be in the right place and realise he had to try and belt it FIRST TIME!. True he belted it into the ground, but when it flew up to Toney, he definitely knew what he was doing with his header across the box and FOR ONCE Kane was in the right place, lurking around the far post.
The only time when England looked decent was the few minutes with Eze and Saka playing as wingbacks. Southgate soon stopped that!
Unless we get a different Kane I can't see how we beat the Swiss. Akanji and Schar will eat him. And if Kane doesn't change Bellingham will continue to be isolated. Foden and Saka don't come inside to support him. Rice thinks he is a centre back. Only Mainoo disobeyed instructions and came forward. Without support Bellingham got clattered five times in the first half hour and was booked for his trouble (for being black?)
Though I'd sworn NEVER to watch England again, I did. Because I thought it would Southgate's last game once we lost. I was wrong by a brilliant overhead kick and a fault in the space-time continuum.
My only concern for the Swiss is that Embolo is only half-fit. Maybe we should then play Luke Shaw to mark him who hasn't played a game since February has he? And still has the worst diddy-man shorts in the universe.
I have a feeling Walker and Foden should stop reproducing. It seems to be destroying their game.
