Harry Kane

[EdersonsSmiley]

I don’t fancy watching a footballer who spends most of the game either getting in front of a defender or getting the ball and moving into a position where he’s in front of a defender, then letting his body relax while the defender runs into him and he just flops over to the floor.

That seems to be what he does for 75% of the times he touches the ball.

It’s awful to watch.

What do you expect from a striker in this England team?

If he tried running in behind constantly and getting in the 6 yard box he would end the game with less than 20 touches.

We create fuck all under Southgate and Kane knows this that's why he constantly drops into midfield.

Good players look good anyway. Sterling has shone in both systems, Foden has looked great at times for England, Stones and Walker immense all season.

What system??? I had been adamant from the beginning the England national team is poorly coached. Win or lose my opinion is the same. I'm sorry when you have WC talents in every position bar the goalkeeper then I expect quality and fluid play in most matches. Instead the supporters are treated to a cheap imitation of a prime Atlético Madrid or 2010 Ínter Milan. England got through the final because they are a quality side and not because of Gareth Southgate. They should be playing a lot better than this and showing their full potential.

Amen....

I expect tonight’s experience will make Kane even more determined to get out of spurs and have a realistic chance to win honours which have yet again slipped from his grasp

Not sure on Kane tbh, are we looking for someone to hold the ball up and play others in, or are we looking for a striker ?
Because at this moment in time, Kane doesn’t look like a striker.

Exactly. We already have that to a degree with Gab.

He had moments of absolutely top class play tonight but he barely has 45 minutes in his legs.

Pretty much how I se him - good pen too.

All his best work this tournament has been doing things we wouldn't want him to do at City because it doesn't suit our approach or because we have better players to do those things. It's a big gamble on whether he can adapt, he's spent the majority of his career playing like this for England and spurs because he has to, I don't see anywhere close to a guarantee he could mould his game around our needs.

I've never been less keen for City to get what the media perceive to be our top targets this summer in Kane and Grealish. I'd sooner go into the season unchanged if that's the option.

Agree. He looked so laboured in his movement

....he just led the league in goals and assists. Far cry from captain offsides
