Can't understand how Kane kept his place. Southgate banged on for months about how you won't keep you spot if you're out of form, Abrahams got more goals this season and in a team higher in the league. So why not start him?

You can't just pick purely based on form for every position, every game. You have to foster a team with a core of regulars and Kane is absolutely pivotal. Much like when we had Marquis, Kane has to start every game and rightly so. He isn't even in poor form, he's performed perfectly well for Spurs even though the team are struggling.There are others he's giving chances that maybe don't really deserve to be starting in there, such as Michael Keane, but dropping Harry Kane would be daft.
Now watching Gardeners World, sheesh!

Centre midfield is the main problem we just can't move the ball at all. Think the 3 at the back suits us better to get possession higher up the pitch at the moment we struggle to build anything. Didn't expect Rice to make the team after the last set of internationals he was poor then
Some daft comments on here tonight. Vicar - WE ARE SHIT?! Were we shit when we were battering Spain not long ago? France lose qualifiers. Germany lose qualifiers. Belgium lose qualifiers. We’ve just lost our first qualifier for a decade...do you think perhaps you might be overreacting a little bit?93 - drop Kane? He’s our captain and talisman. You don’t drop him because he’s only scored 4 or 5 goals by October and a raw lad who was playing in the Championship last year has scored a few more than him.Padge - in hindsight the team selection tonight was off (see below) but Rice and Grealish aren’t comparable players in the slightest.Wrong team selection tonight - think Winks could have moved the ball quicker replacing either Rice or Henderson and don’t think I’d have started either of the full backs or Keane but come on, the sky isn’t caving in. We remain a work in progress and some way short of the elite - whether we’d won 4-0 tonight or lose as we did that doesn’t change.
Watching England makes me think 🤔 these guys make millions from the game ? ! But my old Doncaster Rovers would murder any of em ! Anyone else agree?

Unfortunately for the wealth off attacking options we have nobody to pull the strings in the middle of the park
