I would honestly put Gordon in for Trippier. He's got great energy, tracks back, is quick, and can use his left foot. We'd be so much more balanced - imagine Saka's threat replicated on the left. We do not need to prioritise defensive stability at wing back. Gareth is just crapping it because Konsa only has a few caps.

Sick of him slowing everything down by having to move it onto his right

They’ve all been told to be nicer about England.

Enjoyed the comment just now about Saka, who is apparently not playing where they expected him to play… (note he is playing where he has played all tournament and plays week in week out for Arsenal)

I think they were expecting him to play left wing back, rather than right.

Looking good so far. Feels a lot like the Germany game. Better to be 0-0 at half time with another couple of gears to go up, than it is to be 1-0 up and already digging in defending a lead.

Plenty of time to take the lead then all fall back to within 20 yards of the goal.

[eenie]

Can Kane actually move faster than a very mild jog? He looks utterly done. He MUST be injured, surely?

[The_jagster]

Bellingham knowing it's pointless playing in Tripper wide left

[Smaldini]

Foden has been less involved than he was in the previous games, and Kane has been ****. I expect us to win but it’s been another dull performance.

No guarantees

[GunmaN1905]

Saka attacking the edge of the box, Mainoo at like 30m away from him, Walker not even in the picture, ffs.

[SouthCoastRed]

At the very least we’ve dragged Switzerland down to our level

[aiston]

Kane cannot even control the ball.

[Ackter]

Was there any contact on Vargas there? Didn't look like it at all.

[TalkSport]

Konsa knee gone. Dunk time…

[Darius1998]

A shot on target!

[The Amazing Dale Watkins]

A SHOT ON TARGET!!!

[Wavelberry]

Ezri looking pretty decent.

Those cut backs to Swiss defenders are annoying.

[Ackter]

How is Kane still on? Is he just there for pens?

[kopsy101]

Hopefully he’s alright, Konsa looks like a brilliant player

[Tummyowl]

Southgate’s master plan to win through boredom.

[Constantine]

Konsa got some acting chops

[Lucas]

Kane doesn’t even attack space in front of him. Why not have him as a pen super sub instead and use Watkins during the 90?

[Ackter]

Is he just knackered from a tough season or is the German game so slow that's he's not used to having to move?

[Lucas]

Shearer really can’t stand Kane  

[TheWednesday]

Southgate might have just found his Phillips replacement in the form of the ref after that interception 

[Haguey]

Yeah it's not good enough from Kane this, he is the problem here

[GunmaN1905]

Switzerland not enough of a threat, but England's defense looks really unconvincing. Too much space.

[Redshift]

I have doubts we'll even win this tbh.

He plays nothing like this for Bayern which makes it worse.

he has been without doubt the biggest issue all tournament to be honest. Pathetic stuff.

[Ackter]

Kane didn't even try and fight for that cross.

****ing hell.

[JJ72]

We've gone back to sleep this half

If he isn't carrying some sort of injury then he's been nothing short of disgraceful

And if he is injured then Gareth is a disgrace for continuing to play him  

[arenaross]

Kane not even trying to win headers in the penalty box now. 

[Smallen]

he doesn’t even challenge for duels. I’m getting second hand embarrassment watching it.

[Darius1998]

Akanji has completely transformed under Pep.

[Lucas]

Must still be carrying the back injury from the end of the season. 

[Ackter]

The only thing more baffling than Kane was that Swiss corner.

[Astafjevs]

Switzerland are better off with Zuber/Okafor/Duah going forward. Embolo isn't fit, isn't that good anyway, and is losing the physical duel as well 

[Lucas]

Hour gone, we don’t look like scoring. Kane and Trippier off please. 

[Ackter]

When do we reckon the first sub will happen? 82nd minute?

[dudester]

You know we can't make subs before 75 mins 

[Ackter]

I hate seeing Trippier like this. He's a great player but he can not play on the left.

[ceefax the cat]

The good thing about the goal we're about to concede is that it'll allow us to regroup

[Pukey]

This has been a rough second half

[m_fenton]

Finally figured out who Kane's reminding me of, its Lee Trundle.

[dafuge]

It’s nearly Connor Gallagher time.

[Lucas]

Just defending on our 18 yard line, Kane included. This is pathetic  

[Redshift]

You think a sub will happen?

[CFuller]

Gareth played it too safe against Serbia. And against Denmark. And against Slovenia. And against Slovakia.

Nobody should have expected that to change today. An hour played, and we haven't even looked like scoring.

Please, Switzerland. Just put us out of our misery.

[GunmaN1905]

Look at where Rodriguez is in the build up and then compare it to English wide CBs, pathetic from Southgate.
