The article discusses the current state of the English men's national football team, specifically the lack of depth and quality in the striker position. The team has Harry Kane as its main striker, but there is a concern that he may not be able to carry the team on his own due to the lack of other talented strikers.
Former England players Alan Shearer and Chris Sutton are quoted in the article, expressing their opinions on the current state of the team. They both agree that playing with two strikers would be an option for the team, but it's not something that can be done this week as England takes on Germany.
Sutton says that playing with two strikers is "incomparable to the 1990s" and that there was a depth of quality in the striker position back then. He also mentions that players like Alan Shearer and Gary Lineker were phenomenal finishers, but they didn't get as many chances as Kane does now.
Sutton also jokes about how he would be rubbing his hands if he was a half-decent striker with a World Cup coming up. He feels that the current team lacks depth and quality in the striker position, and that he would have to dust off his boots if he wanted to make an impact.
The article concludes by highlighting the concerns surrounding the English men's national football team and their lack of depth and quality in the striker position.
