It has to be tactical. There’s no logical reason a player as experienced as him to be popping up as borderline centre back at times

swiss with 2 banks of four,very difficult to play against unless you get behind them which we ar`nt

Walking football again.

Saka did a couple of times but Kane was busy chilling on the halfway line so he probably thought "why bother"

Saka doing just that, beats his man almost every time.

Much better from England.

Watching England in this tournament is a cure for Insomnia,another boring game from them.

[jim mk2]

Apart from Saka there’s no threat. Raise the pace for goodness sake

[matt83]

Slightly better. Still 0 shots on target 

[Displaced Rover]

We’ve got to get Kane off. Just playing in front of their back 4. So easy to defend against.

[RTM08]

Awful again. Saka doing his best but Kane, Foden and Bellingham not getting into the box. 

Somehow have an ability to end every corner with the ball in our half.

[simongarnerisgod]

have the bbc lot been ordered to put a positive spin on us,we`ve been better but still not created much,it`s certainly nothing to get excited about

[DE.]

Not sure why the narrative on the BBC that we're massively improved. Five shots and none on target, wow. Amazing. 

Switzerland have been more disappointing than we have been impressive. Think Italy made them look a lot better than they are. This is a team that drew 1-1 with Scotland, after all. 

[Forever Blue]

BBC are hilarious. They’re hyping this performance and Foden in particular ‘best no10 in world football’

Foden hasn’t done much and neither have England. 

[roverandout]

Once Switzerland score its all over 

[Gav]

England have dominated the game, the Swiss have been poor, you don’t need to be a bbc pundit to see that. 

[jim mk2]

Lineker and co lost the plot with their praise. We haven’t tested their keeper yet!

We’ve dominated the ball and done nothing with it. It’s easy passing around at the back. 

[simongarnerisgod]

if gareth would just take his foot off the brake,we`de see a far better england

Classic bbc. Think of an agenda think of a narrative to fit it. Foden has been bang average again just like his other 40 appearances in an England shirt.

They have massively improved... From abject to just shy of mediocre

I think England have been a lot better. Not as good as they should be with the players they have but should be too much for a well drilled but very ordinary Swiss team.

You, I and anyone on here could have kept goal when no shots of even crosses coming in. The sad thing is we’ve improved this evening. Testament to the detritus served up so far.  

[Forever Blue]

Saka has played well, Kane has been anonymous. Everyone else has done ok. 

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

Kane seems to have lost it.
