What have you seen that has indicated he's lazy? He seems proper down to earth and not superstarish. He's deffo not lazy. 

He's frustrated and I think you can see that but he's not the only one. The system isn't working for anyone. Teams are playing a low block , foden, Bellingham ahd Kane are  all fighting for the same space. Everything is congested and there is no width on the left hand side. 

If southgate doesn't address the left hand side it's just gonna be more of the same. 

On a few occasions after he has been tackled he has been left on the floor and shown no real effort to get up and win the ball back.

I think he is the closest we have had to a genuinely world class player for a long time but his performances so far have been way off what I was hoping for. The early goal I thought would be the perfect spring board. Even as a young kid as our best player I would look to him to pull the rest up but like the others levels have not been great.

Away from the pitch I agree that he conducts himself very well. My whole post was slightly tongue in cheek but I would be delighted if from here him and the team start to gradually improve and do a job on all the up and coming games.

Looking forward to the games today, good to have it back even though we're clearly going to go into knockout mode of 0-0 and pens every other game. Some potentially really good match ups in this second round.

Same, used to seeing Switzerland get to this stage and just look stale but they look like a proper unit probably just lacking a top class forward.

[Marc505]

Good grief 

[Mounts Kipper]

This Italy performance on par with Englands displays.

Kane shown nothing. I give him a breather try freshen him up. Should be no problem getting past Slovenia whichever 11 are selected. 

Slovakia. We couldn’t get past Slovenia!

Great goal. No matter how poor we have looked it doesn’t even come close to this from the Italians.

They look clueless….as I type that was a let off for the Swiss

Terrible. Said a few times, the standard of the tournament as a whole has been terrible. 

Swiss and Austria been the best 

Maybe another Greece year?

Don’t forget, the Scots gave them a decent game 

[Arrested development]

England should make the semis even playing shite. Thats how lucky they are with the draw. 

[jmjhb]

The way to beat Switzerland is to focus on Schar. Absolute bombscare defender.

[paulhanley]

Over the years Switzerland are one of the sides to have a very poor record against us. Without checking I think they've only ever had one or two wins. 

... anyway, tomorrow night first. Slovakia beat Belgium and we've been well below par. No formality!
