How long do we give because his performance today was at most 5/10Seriously?Far more than one game.
He is a world class striker who will come good.

Bit harsh to suggest he's going to be crap against Scotland just to make a point! Calvert-Lewin is a decent player but far more dependent on some decent service than Kane so he would have been just as invisible today. It was the negative way we set up, it's absolute madness to call for the captain to be dropped having come off the back of scoring the mot goals AND getting the most assists in the Premier League this season, most of it whilst being managed by Mr Negative Jose Mourinho.Same performance against Scotland and then what
More than one game? Not sure why you've got such a bee in your bonnet about Kane when most the team was fairly mediocre today and Kane is a proven performer.How long do we give because his performance today was at most 5/10
So he repeats his performance today on Friday and it’s ok he can play against the Czech Republic as he’s the captain……as I said previously there no sentiment in football it’s bad enough taking a gamble on Maguire regaining his fitness during the tournament.Bit harsh to suggest he's going to be crap against Scotland just to make a point!

I know your not but Kane’s performs today was the worst out of a mediocre team as you put it. I know he scores goals and is proven as a player but it’s the now that matters.More than one game? Not sure why you've got such a bee in your bonnet about Kane when most the team was fairly mediocre today and Kane is a proven performer.
BTW I had already replied to a previous post of yours when I saw this, I promise I'm not following you round to disagree with you about Kane!
Agree about Sterling. He'sfrustrating to watch because he gets into some great positions and seems to get the ball stuck under his feet a ridiculous amount of times but he gets into those positions.Very conservative from Southgate today. That's OK as long as we win (and plenty of teams have won the Euros playing hyper-conservative - Portugal & Greece chief amongst them). But if we lose playing that way, then he's going to get crucified.
Like many, I'd like to see us use our exciting full back options rather than the experienced but dull Walker & Trippier.
And then I'd like to find space for a little more creativity in the midfield three. I do think that Rice is crucial - he's our water carrier, and he's going to be needed given that central defense is our weakest position. But while Philips and Mount are both fine, energetic players.....I think we could find room for a little more magic in there.
Also, Sterling gets tons of stick from England fans and the media - but the comparison between him and Foden today was night and day. He gave the Croatian defenders kittens for the whole game, scored and was at the centre of just about everything we created. Foden hit the post early on (having been set up by Sterling), and took one long ball out of the air like Pele at his peak......but otherwise was pretty invisible.
I get it - Sterling can sometimes be like an international version of Mark Sykes; bags of skill and energy but always choosing the wrong option. But he is always dangerous, and you need that at the international level.
This tournament and longer?How long do we give because his performance today was at most 5/10
But why would he be poor again? I'm sure if you were to ask any team at this tournament whether they'd rather face Harry Kane or Calvert-Lewin they'd want to avoid Kane. Of course if he's consistently poor then he can't keep his place, and I don't think anyone is suggesting that, but to just say "what if he's poor next game as well" isn't much of an argument.So he repeats his performance today on Friday and it’s ok he can play against the Czech Republic as he’s the captain……as I said previously there no sentiment in football it’s bad enough taking a gamble on Maguire regaining his fitness during the tournament.
Cool to have been at the game! And glad that it didn’t feel dominated by the neanderthalsWas at the game today.
Got a beer in an offie on Wembley Way where the guy behind me, wearing an England shirt, was moaning about the prices for beers set by ‘these Middle Eastern C***s’. But I’m sure any booing of the knee he did was entirely motivated by an opposition to Marxism.
I’m not sure how it came across on the telly, but it felt at Wembley like the booing of the knee was drowned out by applause from the decent fans in attendance. And what a performance from England - after months of watching League One standard players, and with no disrespect to them whatsoever, it was genuinely astonishing to see the quality with which the game can be played. Not inspiring, but the kind of solid performances that win you tournaments.
Modric MOTM btw. What a player.
Weren't the playing Ukraine?!Cool to have been at the game! And glad that it didn’t feel dominated by the neanderthals
Thought I would look at this thread on the bog. Saw genuine suggestions of dropping one of the best centre forwards on the planet (World Cup golden boot winner, future Premier League and England record all-time scorer) and fell off in shock. Now I’ve got s**t all over the back of my kne
Agree, Kane is quality, just look at his all round play he will grow in to this tournament.Thought I would look at this thread on the bog.

Not unless he improves on today’s performance he was the worst England player todayThis tournament and longer?
Surely you wouldn't drop a world class player based in one game?
I don't think that it would even cross Southgate's mind
That’s bull if he plays like he did today agin on Friday and we don’t score and out of the England squad he plays the same again as he did today do we keep playing him and carry him until he finds his scoring boots again or do we put someone else maybe Rashford and see how he does. He maybe a world class player but so are all the other players in this tournament so that argument doesn’t carry any weight.But why would he be poor again?
