Kane looked leggy and starved of service as he struggled to make an impact in the Group D game at Wembley Stadium, managing only 19 touches throughout before being replaced by Marcus Rashford in the 74th minute."I felt we needed a few more runs in behind and Marcus would give us that energy," Southgate told reporters, explaining his decision to replace Kane for the second straight match.
Southgate, whose side take on the Czech Republic in their final group match on Tuesday, refused to single out Kane for criticism and said that the team must strive to be better."Scotland, I thought marked him extremely well. With the back five there isn't a lot of space, and of course, anything that was played up, they were aggressive, they defended well.

EURO2020 Southgate I reckon the England 11 are always picked with the wining photo shoot in mind. & only field more ⛹🏿♂️players when they are losing. France🇫🇷 Holland🇳🇱 Belgium🇧🇪 have all adapted’ so why can’t we. It’s the same old friggin pattern over & over.
Should have taken him off earlier then.
He so obviously unfit. He looked like he was running backwards.
You might be wondering how he lost his energy
