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

Well Pele is 80 so yes. for sure.

Ronaldo, no as he is mentally a totally different beast- Kane looks like his head has dropped, it’s not as if things aren’t quite clicking for him, his mind seems to be elsewhere completely.

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.

I think Kane is being given the wrong instruction or we're playing the wrong personnel.

If he's being told to drop deep, as he has been, then we should be playing two of Sterling, Rashford or Sancho wide, players that will run into the space created - how we scored against Croatia.

If he's our goal threat then we need to tell him to play on the shoulder and play Grealish and Foden, maybe Mount, behind him to create the chances.

Look at Lukaku now for Belgium, playing as a 9 and constantly running into the box.

Yep, although I prefer the way the other guy put it- “rest” him.

That rumour always makes me laugh, those players, used to winning trophies, would have to agree to go to Spurs first. I think all 3 could and will get much better moves should they move on.

On another note it pisses me off that the team is leaked 24 hours in advance. Give the opposition manager an hour to prepare like they do in any other game.

I know they're only rumours but they're generally spot on.

Kane has been badly off form the last two games, but he has to start as on form he’s a difference maker and the only way he’ll regain form is by playing.

Plus, DCL has been poor the few times I’ve seen him, so we essentially have no alternative.

On the Southgate issue, last game was slightly baffling at times, but as I put before it’s a bit of a one off game. Let’s see what he does tomorrow and more importantly the following game where we’ll likely get a strong opponent.

Yes we have an array of attacking talent but it isn’t as simple as just throwing them all in. But I agree it’s up to Southgate to work out the best combo.

In my mind he has to give Grealish, Foden and one of Rashford/Sterling/Sancho a go, with Mount dropping deeper. Or ask Kane to stay up front, not drop deep and try Grealish/Foden/Mount behind him, with Rice and Bellingham as the CM’s.

Let’s not rule us out before we’ve even played tomorrow night, never mind the last 16.

It's perfectly normal to criticise players and management, especially after the first 2 outings .

And I think we will be OK on SKYBLUESTALK , I doubt raheem and Gareth will be logging in tonight to see what we're saying
Click to expand...

I wouldn't rise rise it to be honest. There are people so desperate to defend Raheem that they say the people who criticise him are racist.

Pretty incredible considering Rashford, Sancho, and DKL are 3 of the 4 players that people want to replace him with.

Apparently if it all stays as it is we'll get out of the group even if we lose tomorrow as one of the third place teams.

This format is shite.

They don’t say that about all the people who criticise him, just a few in particular who have a ‘track record’

It's just a pathetic excuse when there is no other argument to be have.

'Track record' = translation: people who regularly disagree on the politics threads.

Again, it's all irrelevant when the players they want instead of him are also not white. It's a stupid and lazy argument which in the long term sadly waters down cases of real racism.

Off form for a striker is missing sitters he’s had nothing...it’s simple give him service he will score it’s down to the manager to get it sorted

Shite isn't it. Win the group and we'll probably end up with Germany, France or Portugal.... finish 2nd or 3rd and we could get Sweden or Slovakia.

Ball came over and he looked slow to get to it, then missed from pretty much under the bar
