Kane needs service. He's a fabulous centre-forward but he can't do it all himself. When he gets a chance he usually hits the target (it took a great save to stop his header). His one error was not getting into the 6 yard box for Kyle Walker's superb cross.

I feel a little better after seeing a few of the big teams not exactly set the opening games on fire...maybe if we have a blinder against Denmark, that'll calm it all down.
The answer is simple. Don't play Kane against teams which sit deep against us as its like playing with 10 men. Pack the midfield with another body and use Bellingham as a False 9.
It’s not if you have wingers that are hitting the byline and getting crosses in you can’t play narrow because kanes probably at his most dangerous in the box not with his back to goal. Playing a false 9 isn’t a bad idea though
Kane's going to be the reason we lose this tournament. He rely to much on him and try. He played woeful, plays like that against Denmark, we'll struggle
England should play 4-4-2 formation or 4-1-3-2 formation , we need quality and numbers in the midfield . Play in Wharton , Mainoo , Rice , Bellingham together , and play Forden and Kane upfront . Bellingham , Forden and Kane will score the goals . We dont need wingers to drop and assist defence at this stage , we need midfield that links defence , mid and attack .
I don't think he was awful tbh. He was man marked. He had a tussle all game, had hardly any touches but hit te post and had a point blank shot incredibly saved. He's hardly kicked a ball competitively for weeks now too. While he's tied up with defenders, he's tiring them out. In the last half an hour we can exploit those tired legs with the likes of saka foden palmer Bellingham Eze etc I don't see why Harry's getting any criticism at all if I'm honest. A win, a clean sheet, and no injuries. As long as we keep on improving, were OK at the moment. Portugal Spain and Germany are the main threats in my opinion. Everyone else we can deal with. I expect we'll lose a semi final to one of these 3
The Scotch could play out of their skin and still comfotably lose. They're just not very good at football. And inevitably that's going to catch them out in games of football.
Scotland are the 4th best team in there group. To suggest Scotland should beat any of these teams is a stretch. Lack of goals will always hamper the Scots. Why Scots supporters think they will get out of the group is a mystery to me
You can't blame Kane. He didn't get the ball, it rarely ever came to him. This happens from time to time when you are a striker. He had one chance and got a decent header on goal which was saved. I'd prefer it if Kane stayed on the last defender more often, but he likes dropping deep and it works for him.
Kane was given hardly any support and most punted up field balls the defenders were all over him if the goalkeeper had not spectacularly saved the only chance he had no one would be moaning except north Londoner's.....lol
@@tevildo45 oh is a game only 45mins? My mistake. Also if saka isn’t passing cos he’s out trying to cut inside to shoot or then laying it back to Walker when he can’t , how is Kane gonna get a touch? If Trent wasn’t over hitting passes or shooting or twatting against defenders, then how is Kane gonna get a touch?
Interesting point on Foden after all the plaudits he got last season. He's supposed to be better than Saka but Saka's not afraid to use his weaker foot. Foden cut inside every time.
@@environm3ntalist549 maybe he is but he's not a better number 10 than Bellingham so if he wants to play he needs to deal with that. It blows my mind that players on £300k a week won't use their weaker foot.
@@creasicle I think he is a better number 10 than Bellingham. Furthermore, Belingham's best position is number 8. That is the position he made his name in at Dortmund, it is the position he has played in for the latter half of the season at madrid and it is his main position he will be playing at Madrid next season with Mbappe arriving. Foden was not being helped by Southgate's set up. Having Trippier as your non overlapping full back hampers you playing that position. Look at the support Saka had from Walker.
This is why nobody likes the English media or people: you guys absolutely verbally nuke the players for poor performances, even though you won the game.
Against the Serbian back 3 kane always had at least 2 center backs around him. It's obvious that he would struggle to gain possession from clearances. Talk sense Saunders. Kane is a top player who would get in every other team in the euros.
Nothing to do with Kanes fitness just go back and watch the game and give credit Nikolas Milenkovic for putting Kane in his pocket throughout the whole game
A win shouldn’t excuse the actual performance. Saka was one our best players in the first half, second half he began to slow down and he wasn’t able to be as effective because they had figured him out. Southgate never made a change to LW, Foden played the whole game and looked like a deer in headlights out there
Southgate talking “preserving energy” what a melon. We’ve got 10 subs sitting on the bench and he comes out with nonsense like that. Serbia had us on the ropes the last 20 minutes, Pickford made more saves than he should’ve had to. Rice cleaning up in midfield recovering balls that were given away sloppily
Kane wasn't great against Serbia, but nearly scored with the only cross delivered to him in the entire 2nd half, cleared an effort off the line, and won a few free kicks near the end of the game when isolated up front. He had no supply from the left because Foden didn't want to be there. Gordon or the omitted Grealish would've provided this supply. Hence, the blame lies with team selection and Southgate's negative tactics.
There is nothing wrong with Kanes fitness - it’s our system that takes him out of the game - how can you score goals if you don’t create chances? - even then he would still have scored if it hadn’t been for a WC save
To have such good wingers in Saka , EZe , what was the point in playing penal-Kane😂. With great wingers I would have gone Anthony or Watkins. For me either kane listen and stay at his position as a 9 or bench him. England already have confusion at the 10 position where both Kane, Bellingham and Foden keep walking over one another. That was a lucky win .
Kane is a bit of a sacred cow, but nobody should be undroppable. I certainly wouldn't be dropping him after one game, but it's something Southgate needs to keep an eye on. There is no long-term to consider here, just this few weeks in June and July. If a player (any player) isn't doing it here and now, for whatever reason, then he has to be vulnerable.
France look amazing going forward and maybe Germany very strong too Portugal squad awesome … fhen there’s a big gap … but maybe Italy & Spain will come on strong … getting to be a tasty competition !!
Bring Gordon in for balance on the left, bench Foden not his fault he doesn't do it on the left, give Jude 70 mins and being foden on if we need goals. Cant drop Kane, he won't drop Kane.
Foden played 10 in the Iceland friendly and put in one of his worst performances for England. Bellingham is more direct and that’s what we need, he’ll attack defenders head on instead of just passing the ball backwards anytime you’re under pressure
I thought Spain & Germany were good. Scotland have to come out fighting & get the win. They need to make use of Gilmour & Scott McTominay more. Kane was terrible, he kept on coming deep. Kane would be better playing behind an out and out attacker if he keeps on dropping deep. Foden was terrible as well, a lot of them looked fatigued in the second half.
There are no runners in the system like son , sane , rashford , sterling in the team and there are too many midfielders he can’t come in and pick pass to a runner foden likes it at feet all the time same as Bellingham who has had a long season , and Saka is not as electric without the ball he likes it in feet and taking on Players , Kane in this system will not strive maybe try Watkins on LW
There is a balance that must be walked. Kane is a player who seemingly needs touches of the ball and to get involved in build up. It's not a great strength of his to play with his back to goal as seen against Serbia where he got bullied. He needs more freedom in my opinion to pop up in different places and he will get goals. He can't have another performance where he touches the ball only 2/3 times per 45.

I'm starting to think you's lot will never win an international tournament again. Same old story every time, great teams on paper but missing something whether its heart or what I don't know but there is obviously a psychological issue because its not skill based. Getting beaten by Iceland with 3 hundred thousand people beforehand and countries with populations of 4 million drawing with you its embarrassing considering the team you have out. No way Southgate should be managing you's he never won anything in his life.
The problem with England is Southgate, but the majority of presenters do not want to state that, because they are scared of not getting access to the FA. He has never done anything in the managerial game that can be called successful. he is just a front man. He should be sacked and they should bring in somebody that knows the game.
