England player ratings from Tom Barclay
Midfielders
Trent Alexander-Arnold: 5
This experiment of playing Trent in midfield is far from convincing, especially when his passing was off it like it was here, barring one good ball to Saka. Subbed on 54 minutes.
Declan Rice: 5
Had to cover so much ground as England dropped worryingly deep in the first half and also lost it a few times in front of his back four.
Jude Bellingham: 6
Nowhere near the majestic display he put in against Serbia and one of many who looked tired.
England player ratings from Tom Barclay
Defenders and goalkeeper
Jordan Pickford: 6
Looked a little jittery early doors, though there was nothing he could do about Morten Hjulmand’s corker and he made a decent parry after the break.
Kyle Walker: 7
Made England’s opener by racing round a sleeping Victor Kristiansen – he’ll be having nightmares of that forevermore – and teeing up Kane via a deflected cross.
John Stones: 6
OK but you have got to wonder how fit he feels having barely played for Man City in the second half of the season, plus his injury and illness issues over the last month.
Marc Guehi: 8 and my star man
Really encouraging again from the Crystal Palace centre-back, looking sharp with his interceptions and assured in distribution.
Kieran Trippier: 6
Like Stones, he was fine, but England really need Luke Shaw back ASAP because having no natural left-footer at left-back is a problem.
Trent Alexander-Arnold: 5
This experiment of playing Trent in midfield is far from convincing, especially when his passing was off it like it was here, barring one good ball to Saka. Subbed on 54 minutes.
Full time – Denmark 1-1 England
It’s all over in Frankfurt, and another uninspiring, insipid and lacklustre England performance comes to an end.
The inquest will begin immediately after the Three Lions faltered all over the (awful) pitch, and more will be demanded from players and staff for the next match.
Many of the England players fell to the turf at full time, but it’s hard to know where their energy has been spent.
In contrast, the Danes show delight with their performance, and come together in one huge group huddle.
Denmark 1-1 England
90. There will be at leasat three minutes of stoppage time before this one comes to an end – and you suspect there may be boos.
Images of a furious Wayne Rooney trudging off against Algeria come to mind.
Denmark 1-1 England
88. Shearer is getting angrier and angrier.
He’s called this performance awful, atrocious and abysmal.
Just wait until he moves on to the letter B in his big book of adjectives.
Denmark 1-1 England
86. I’m starting to think Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg has backed himself to have the most shots at Euro 2024.
He winds up another attempt from outside the box that crashes wide of goal.
