Southgate is way too negative.

People laughed at me for saying Kane was awful / not world class etc before the Tournament.

Do you even watch football?

There is a lot more contact nowadays than that quick hug.

Scotland players and the manager hugging him too.

The bizarre thing is he comments far more on this than the club he “supports” and The Tonester only posts after he does

Kane is regarded as one of the best strikers in world football

Southgate record -

Middlesbrough - 12th 13th relegated

England U21’s finished bottom euro 2015

England beat Tunisia,Panama,Columbia & Sweden & most of the nation think he’s good


Every pundit etc I listen to on talk sport etc they all are on a similar page it’s clear we’ve got this great attacking talent & a manager who had no idea how to use it,the subs against Scotland we’re bonkers he’s too rigid & negative we won’t go far quarters if we come second otherwise we are out next round.

Only thing I can say about Finland is one time we played Cheltenham in pre season, and one of their fans told me that ‘SISU’ was a Finnish word. I just shrugged.

Maybe so, however he’s also been a total bystander for the last two games.

I wouldn’t play him tomorrow, give him a rest, have him back firing for the next round.

Perhaps you should try forming your own observations instead of listening to Alan Brazil’s opinions on matters

All shit.

If he was "World Class" he wouldn't be invisible.

That’s just bollocks

“I’ll pick this guy and make sure nobody passes to him”

Kane has been useless- world class he may well be but in the last two matches he’s done nothing at all.

I have thought Kane looks a bit leggy. But I’ve said the same about Godden in the last two seasons, countless times, and he’d still end up scoring when actually presented with a chance.

You are not going to tell me you claim to be a knowledgable football supporter and not be able to see that Harry Kane is massively off form.

You’re doing it the day before the match has even been played.

It’s fairly typical though- goldfish memory span- two games played, 4 points but the fact we didn’t beat Scotland in their World Cup final means you immediately want Southgate hung, drawn & quartered

He's not in great form no , with 4 goals in his last 10 games .. however we also need to look at the quality of service, we've had 3 shots on target in 3 hours , players like foden struggling to impact on games because he's out of position and we're moving the ball too slowly ..

We aren't creating anywhere near enough quality chances

I've never been a Southgate fan though ..and if you are happy with how we are going about our business then that's fair enough ..I think we have the players to be better

I think 2 things can be true. Kane is a world class striker but the last 2 games he's been a plank of wood. No one should be undroppable but I'd start him again to see if he perks up, and because my fantasy team is starting to look embarrassing frankly.

I’m not overjoyed but I’m not unhappy- too soon to judge. And Scotland was a game you can’t deduce anything from

That he was a yard too far behind?

Despite what I said on Friday night, Harry Kane is not a player you choose not to play. When he’s fit, first name on the list.
