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.

Harry kanes performances look equally to do with how we've set up as it does his form

What’s he ever done to even have the job ? Got Middlesbrough relegated and got the under 21’s bottom of their euro 2015 group

Agreed which is down to the manager how he’s set them up

I genuinely think Kane’s head is elsewhere. Probably fielding calls from his agent and reps for Levy before and after training. If today’s press is anything to go by City have/are about to have a £100m bid knocked back.

Most people in talks over a job/company change won’t be 100% focussed on the task at hand, particularly if your boss was trying to make a move as difficult as possible. Footballer or not.

How do you explain the World Cup in that case where we played the same and he was scoring goals

We can take from it that England shouldn't be playing with 2 holding midfielders , that England need a box to box midfielder next to either rice , Phillips or Henderson , that we need to move the ball faster and forward much more .. that we need ro press higher and not let teams breath .

That's what I take from it

I listen to the euro bar is it & which ever else is on euro talk stuff etc,I’ve listened to Josè,Lee Dixon,Jamie o’hara,Harry redknapp,Rooney and many more who all think we are too rigid 2 CDM are not needed Foden is stuck to the right wing constantly,all falling short of saying he’s the wrong man for the job

O’Hara is the pits of radio, ex pro trying to stay relevant by being controversial.

I hope so , pulls defenders out with your wing backs and gives foden / Sterling/ grralish more space to try and create

See that’s a considered opinion and makes a lot of sense. Don’t disagree with any of it.

It’s the silly slating of people with no reasoning apart I can’t stand- “Wayne Rooney (that top class manager) said so on Talksport so it must be true”

There isn’t a single manager on the planet who wouldn’t start Kane tomorrow unless he’s injured - his goals per game is the same as Ronaldo

Rooney was bang on about foden though , England are playing him on the wrong side and we're too slow to what he's used to , it's having an impact on his performances

Don’t doubt it- I’d rather an in form very good player than a badly off-form word class player. Perhaps that’s why I’m not a football manager.

Yes and Kane hasn’t- and from where I’ve been watching he looks like he’s in some kind of slump. I don’t expect Southgate to not play him, but I would like a manager who selects only based on form.

Good manager or bad, Southgate isn’t stupid, he knows that if he drops Kane and we don’t go through then he gets ripped to shreds, I don’t think he’d have the balls to do it.

He's a bit stupid as he's taken 2 injured players and wanted to take 15 right backs

So you would drop Pele or Ronaldo after a couple of poor games?

Yeah but that doesn’t mean everything, they have different squads available, different tactics, I don’t think you can completely hang him out to dry for that.

We looked much more potent with wing backs

Kane is class, but looks completely off the pace. I'm convinced he's playing with an injury. Unfortunately, international football is unforgiving and you cannot carry players at that level. 2 goals in his last 9 games club and Country isn't a good return for someone of his record.

For me I'd rest Kane and play Calvert-Lewin tomorrow.
