Think Dunk has played himself out of Euros contention

Good player in his own right but never England quality - Guehi, Tomori, Konsa all better options - Even White at centre half is a better shout albeit his international career is seemingly over

What's happened with Guehi? He was actually part of the setup recently. Is he injured?

I remember that! Anti english/british is the only hate crime thats still allowed.

I couldn't care less and the uproar when *any* anthem is booed is a bit pathetic

The faux outrage when England fans did it during the 2020 euros was embarrassing

Toney did ok to be fair. Don't think that's been a problem.

Really? It’s a massive problem I think - Toney isn’t an international class forward at all. Neither is Watkins.

We have a glut of midfielders who can compete at the highest level but no great forward options and very poor defensive ones

Thought Toney played well last night

It's all by the by, they will be bit part players at the very best unless god forbid, Kane gets crocked between now and the summer

Then the answer if desperate might be a strikerless formation.

I think it's too early to say on Toney. I thought he had a very decent game last night, so would like to see more from him at international level.

He didn't look that out of place last night I don't think.

How would Sven’s record compare, for example?

I don't know but you'd have to admit sven managed England when almost every top nation had a good team, incredibly competitive era

I don't buy this 'Golden Generation' talk about this current crop tbh

Some fantastic attacking players but there is nothing remotely golden about our defense and I am yet to see any international side win something playing gung-ho with a mediocre defense

On paper we also had a stronger all round side than we do now.

You only really need to replace maguire and we'd have one of the worlds best back lines

Stones and walker play starters for the European champions and luke Shaw is very solid at left back

Yup, totally agree. It's actually a bit of a nonsense to say our back four is weak

Walker is a great right back and Stones, an excellent player too and I really rate Shaw very highly. It's just that one problematic position of replacing Maguire.

Easy to forget just how good he was from pretty much the start to the end of his career. Some brilliant goals in here

36 years since his debut - Shearer's best Premier League goals

BBC Sport celebrates the Premier League's highest goalscorer with a look at the best of Alan Shearer's record 260 goals in the competition.

Even some of the more attacking players have got a bit to prove at international level, or even at top European level.

The positive thing is age, so many of them are young and improving all the time. Just hope it clicks this summer. Through all the frustrations this is quite an exciting time still
