Kane said: “Again, not really good enough,” said Kane. “I think we had moments, but just both with and without the ball, things just aren’t quite clicking.” “We aren’t quite finding the right passes or the fight tempo. One v one, we’re losing duels, we’re losing that aggressive nature that we’ve had.”
“We got punished. We were playing against a good side. But again, too much that just wasn’t good enough today.”Also, speaking about the loss, head coach Thomas Tuchel’s side they were denied an equaliser. In his opinion, the goal would’ve levelled proceedings.
Kane, also talking about the goal said the goal could have marked a turning point for them. He said: “It obviously gets us back in the game at 2-2 and maybe we go on and win the game, so it is quite a big moment, but that’s something to discuss with them [the officials] after,” he added.
After seeing off Andorra 1-0 to make it three wins from three in their World Cup qualifying campaign on Saturday before following that result up with tonight’s defeat, Kane insisted England are fully aware there is room for improvement with next summer’s World Cup in the not-too-distant future.
“We’re not going to panic, but for sure we know that we need to be better,” explained Kane. “There are some ideas that are new for the guys, we have new players coming into the team who haven’t got experience it international level.
“It’s a mixture of things, but it’s no excuses, we need to find it [a solution] quick. We’re not going to meet again for a couple of months, but the World Cup is going to come around really fast, so every camp is really important right now.”
