England are so poor defensively, no shape at all.

Centre backs are constantly out of position pressing up the pitch. I thought it was just Maguire being shit in the last game but they’ve obviously been told do it.

Bowen isn't really of the required quality. We're also desperate for a left footer at lb/lwb, our entire left side is pretty toothless because we're forever coming inside.

They’re playing two formations at the moment, which isn’t insane but it’s not fluid

Gallagher having a good game. Really aggressive in the tackle.

Apart from Kane none of them have a picture of what's around them, so if they receive the ball with their back to goal they have to take a touch look around.
So slow it's painful. And the defence are running around like headless chickens.

I very rarely watch England, first time in an age and To be fair to Southgate this is a team of absolutely cloggers with low technical ability and average prem players apart from Kane and Saka...just my opinion

Bowen was decent in the other matches but has been poor so far tonight. Keeps making the wrong decisions and wasting good opportunities.

The picture on the BBC Football page not doing Maguire any favours.

Bowens special move is standing on the sideline calling for a ball, running down the wing and into a player…

All the technical proficiency of a mid-table Championship match. I dunno, Birmingham v Huddersfield?

Southgate picked them didn’t he? Or did someone else take a turn this time?
