Disagree with Walker being good defensively. He has been all over the place imo.

was what I wanted to say. been very poor defensively.
Yes I think walker has had a poor tournament.
A lot has been made of Cody Gakpo as he's joint top scorer and koeman seems to be getting the best out of him, but as long as Walker is on his game you'd think Walker should be able to shut him out as its not that difficult to predict what Gakpo will do. We'll see though.
Beyond Southgate’s general tactical approach, the most painful part of watching England throughout the tournament for me has been Kane’s movement, which has been absolutely diabolical.
How much of that is on Southgate/the England coaches and how much is on Kane I have no idea, but it has been eye-gougingly difficult to watch. I don’t remember seeing him make a near post run once in five games, which is absolutely inexcusable given the number of times Saka has hit the byline.

Yeh Toney is unlucky not to be starting by now. Southgate is too much of a coward/too loyal to drop him and certain players. A flaw that will likely cost Southgate his chance at immortality.
