Do England Need To DROP Kane to WIN Euro 2024? 🏆 

Funnily enough Greece’s manager in 04 was actually a tremendous manager, multiple Bundesliga titles to his name with Werder Bremen. Southgate can’t even get a job in the efl championship.

This just reminds me of the 2019 UCL final when Poch benched an in form Lucas Moura to accommodate an unfit Harry Kane who had been out for like two months prior to that

Lmaoo the Greece manager was a 3time bundesliga winner as a manager

The fact Embolo who just came back from an awful injury looked more of a threat and held the ball up better then Kane is embarrassing for Kane

Oh absolutely the moment Foden put a ball in to Saka who then put a great cross in and Kane wasn't even in the box that moment summed Kane up

Kane was cramping after he fell. You could see it. And Southgate said the same in the press conference. But 100% he should have been off at 45 or 60 mins.

Funny how Joey is using the trippier behind Foden argument to excuse his performances. Saka has been dealing with Walker but he’s been getting calls to get benched lol Qwhite interesting

KG said it right. Arsenal dealt with the whole missed penalty situation better than Man Utd. I’m glad that he raised that take 👏🏾

Harry Kane’s trophy dodging negative energy field is so clear to behold. We’ll have to drag him kicking and screaming to get to that trophy podium. Just replace him for thedear love of god. This is why Southgate is so insufferable.

It's sad that Gareth not losing vindicates his poor choices in lineups and lack of experimentation.

kane did nothing in 120mins and then bottled it when england needed penalty takers and subbed himself off.

I’ve watched all of these post match reactions and I still have no idea what Joey is in about. The general apologetics on England by the media are embarrassing. They are, by far, the worst performing side I’ve ever seen. I don’t mean worst side, I mean worst ‘performing’ side. The talent/capacity of the squad compared to the dross they are producing every game is atrocious. England absolutely will not win this tournament even though they have all the potential to, so all of this ‘pro England’ orthodoxy is pure apologetics or conjecture. It’s actually quite pathetic that the majority of the country can see what a select few media ‘experts’ can’t

It's literally so easy to read . Kane is slow but an amazing finisher . He should be used as a super sub at minute 70, when the defenders are tired . Ollie Watkins should be starting ,since he is so mobile and quick .

Miss the lives icl. Shearer being co commentator is my only solace

Anyone who’s positive about Southgate is just underestimating our team… we have arguably the best squad in the world and we’ve barely beat anyone we’ve played this euros, how anyone can be positive just because we scraped past teams is mental to me

Can’t compare Greece from 04 with the talent this England team has, plus that 04 Greece coach was a club winner

This is what you get when you make you manager and captain people who never won anything and expect them to be successful.

Can see England doing a Portugal unfortunately. England have totally stank the place out and only managed to win ONE game in 90 mins. For the players England have its been terrible. It just shows how important a good manager is and how important it is having a manager the players want to play for. A good manager would've won at least 2 outta the last 3 tournaments with those English players.

Kane should start every match, but be subbed for Toney at the 60th minute. I get Gareth's late substitutions in the last 2 games, he, as well as the rest of us watching, were hoping we could come from behind and get to extra time. His reserved in his use of subs, to use them in extra time, and we cant fault his subs, when it came down to penalty takers, Ivan Toney and Trent AA where 100% needed for the shoot out

Been lucky every game. Either we going home in semi or lose in final unless we really improved with the end products. Hardly seen any shots on target.

Kane is killing England. Far too deep and when he is in the attacking third, he can't find space. Always exactly where the defence want him. Foden has been poor, but I think getting him more central and a pacey winger on the left would benefit him, the team's balance and make us more potent.

I’m all for dropping Kane, but you put runners in behind which we don’t have because Gareth didn’t pick them, you would see more as well as getting good crosses into the box

How can people say Kane is the problem when he scored what 40+ goals this season for his club lol? It means the setup around him is not good. So you have two options. Change the setup or change Kane. I would not sacrifice one of the best strikers of this generation, but I'm not the coach. Foden wants to score, Saka wants to score, Rice is taking shots from the 30 yard line. This is not how a team works. Similar to Ronaldo in this Euros. You can't setup a team where a striker needs service but then put a bunch of people around them that want to be the hero for themselves. It has never and will never work.

Bottom left guy never gets to talk 😂 he gets interrupted everytime 😂

They have made 3 semi finals because they have had the easier groups and teams to play

As a spurs fan. Yes he needs to be drop. He is a very good striker in a normal game, but when in a high intensity game where your striker need to lead and fight crazy for anything (like drogba ) he doesn't have the mental strength to achieve that. For example , he would bully the man city defence and midfielders when we play them in a normal game , but in a high intensity game like a final, he struggled against the same opposition when the defenders put their heart and soul in every challenges

Kane is lazy. Out of shape and should not play !

I get what Joey is saying about Sterling. The team lacks runners which is why I was shocked Rashford didn’t get a call up despite his bad form. He doesn’t trust Gordon so why not just take Rashford then since he’s actually delivered before.

KG and True Geordie are such kindred spirits i love it

I didn’t need to Google but Greece’s manager was Otto Rehhagel who was known for winning league championships with underdog teams against the mighty Bayern. And I’m pretty sure a lot of people watching this video knew this too, not just me. Surprised none of these guys knew that. Football exists outside of the premier league lads 😂.

Only England fans will talk about dropping one of the best strikers on the planet when it’s clearly southgate lol

I think it’s absolutely crazy that people are so desperately wanting Kane out. Before this tournament on paper he is 1 of the BEST STRIKERS IN EUROPE. You need star players like him TO WIN TOURNAMENTS there is 0 chance we would win with out him, Star players like Kane, Bellingham,Saka are what win games, just look at the Bellingham goal and then kanes ,they wasn’t playing that well but at the end of the day these sort of players will have those MAJICAL MOMMENTS and you need that. I also think that it’s partly the SYSTEM that doesn’t suit Kane’s play style. we need GOOD crosses in the box for Kane, and having 2 WRONG footed players on the wings means he gets LIMITED GOOD CROSES so ofc he’s not gonna be scoring as much.

I don't know why they don't just bring Harry kane on in the second half.

With how they are talking about him you wouldn't think Kane scored the most goals in Europe this past season. Kane isn't finished. He just doesn't thrive in this system. He should definitely adapt his game because he must have realised that dropping deep isn't doing anything for England. Southgate might be better served making him a super sub when England are forced to be more attacking. Also, it's laughable to think Kane would shy away from a pen. Remember he took the first pen in the Euros final vs Italy and taken pens in pretty much every shootout before that. I know he's been ineffective, but let's not dispose of common sense.

Raheem Sterling was incredible in the last Euros. Agree with Joey.

Gareth Southgate needs to learn how to effectively coach football, this is noy a VIDEO GAME, he kept put in the highest rating player like a kid playing FIFA 2024

Kane deserves the same criticism that ronaldo was getting. Kane is literally shooting sitters off target. He's slower than ronaldo by a. Country mile, his off ball movement hasn't been practically useful for anyone (judge by the results, no one is finding him) he's simply a classic number 9, in a modern man's game. Absolutely can't create anything for himself and needs to be served on a silver plate to be even considered useful. If you want to judge an over the hill ronaldo by those standards, by god Kane is a worse version of the over the hill ronaldo from usefulness. Enjoy his pressing and his long balls, if that's what you want from your 9. Slow, hard to find, and can't get the shot on target when it matters

Joey wouldn't have Harry Kane take a penalty over Trent, who has never scored a penalty in his professional career? okay lol

England haven't had a lead with Maino on the pitch.... Gerrard was banging in volleys in Germany at his age, whilst Owen was scoring hatricks. He looks good, but this is a lot of hype.

The defense, individual brilliance from Bellingham (against Slovakia) and Saka (against Switzerland) got you there. France and England are a DISGRACE. Football needs to win so neither of these two should win. So I hope Spain wins it.

Subbing Trent on right at the end and then having him take the last penalty is insane. Southgate was trying to set him up lol.

23:50 the three faces of "are you mental mate?" 😆

i don’t know why england can’t do the job in 90mins. it’s like they want to take it to extra time and penalties. switzerland were poor and we did nothing until they scored.

Given how good the players are and how lucky the draws have been in the last 4 tournaments the narrative needs to change to Southgate has cost us trophies.

Thought you'd mention Bellinghams ball hogging. He needs to release the ball quicker instead of trying unnecessary Cruyff turns and stupid pirouettes like he's Iniesta.

If England were on the other side of the bracket the players would be in Ibiza right now. Another easy route to the final.

Rants n bants and TG needs to collaborate. 2 of the realest RU-vidrs

I would take Sterling with one leg over Foden. Foden has never delivered for England and never will

You hit one of the main issues in this team, players not passing the ball to other players in tight spaces. That lack of trust comes from the coach, he has emblazoned "no risk" in heir play.

Put Trent in

It’s sad that England needs to use another entire tournament to figure out their lineup.

Joey "What I WOULD say" Knight

Given the individual talent of every player in that squad its disappointing we aren't beating these teams with more than one or two shots on target.

Regarding “Cole Palmer is a baby”. He’s 22, which is the same age as Saka. He’s 8 months younger than Saka.

We talk about England being too cautious. But it's been that kind of tournement. Cody Gakpo nearly became lead goalscorer in the quarter final. The guy can barely hit a barn door for Liverpool.

Anybody who's watched football these past decades and says "England would have won a major tournament with a different manager" doesn't understand football. Brian should stick to boxing.

holland create a lot of chances and were unlucky not to beat france. Their issue is putting the chances away. could open the game up for england if we have runners who can get in behind like start watkins or bring him on of the bench

Problem with have with Kane is for Bayern Munich he has runners who run in behind for him who create the space & push the other team back, ie Musiala, Gnabry, Sane.. etc. For us England there is only Saka who is making the runs in behind, Foden isn’t doing it which he needs to be dropped from the team. where as past tournaments we’ve had Sterling & Rashford making them runs. But still I would drop Kane as well pisses me off some much the time & space opposition defenders have on the ball with literally no press from him

4 cup competitions, 3 semi finals, but look who you beat on route to each one. england has had the easiest route to every "semi" in their history (even the germany team they saved in 21 was trash and in transition) and lost at the first real team they faced. southgates not only had the greatest squad englands ever had at his disposal, but also the easiest draws englands ever had. and still fucked it up.

Jacob not being here is a crime, deserves to rave about Saka

England national team: Phil Foden: 39 appearances, 4 goals, 2 assists. Raheem Sterling: 82 appearances, 20 goals, 28 assists.

Really enjoy these, I think the kick off is the best it’s been in years. Much better than the watch alongs. Just good debates. Look forward to the next one 👍

Your semi finals and finals are potentially the 2 teams in Irelands qualifying group (Netherlands/France) lucky group draws and everyother draw you get... ... You wouldn't be in the tournament with that group

England scammed their way through this tournament

The fact that Gordon hasn’t had a proper kick is mind blowing

Foden NEEDS dropping

We don’t want another extra time - 2 in a row will already be taxing the physical limits of players drained by a long season - so no thanks to more penalties

Never make your striker captain. Adds undue pressure, and hard to replace him when out of form.

The Dutch made a change to bring weghorst on at half time the other day. The turks were beating them physically and the Dutch acted immediately. And it changed the whole game and they won it in normal time. Southgate HAS to make earlier changes I think its the one thing stopping us from potentially winning this tournament.

I would like to see Watkins and Toney paired up - no shade on Kane but we need something different given the others players we have at our disposal. Making a change like this would be an overall net positive I think and Kane can always come back in at any point.

Or, and I know this is a crazy thought for a striker, but maybe try and actually create chances for him? Like the crosses into the box are almost all ass, they never play it to his feet around the box despite not being marked tight. The system is just woeful

If England get to the final continuing to play Sunday League football, it's like a glitch in the Matrix.... basically anything is possible.

But I was supposed to believe Kane was better than Haaland because of his incredible link up play, turns out it’s pointless and a detriment to the team 👍🏽

England will NEVER win a tournament with Southgate as manager. And for the logic that pro southgate fans give that they have been so successful, with THAT SQUAD, any half decent manager should be successful. Doesnt take a genius to figure that out. Jesus, the chelsea guy is comparing this england team to Greece!!!! GREECE!! That is mediocrity right there. You have been under mediocrity so much that you would be happy with semis and say what a successful manager. A Klopp, Pep, Jose, or anyone would have WON one or two by now especially given how lucky he has been with fixtures. As for the last game, those saying he was attacking with his subs - WHAT THE FUCK ELSE WAS HE SUPPOSED TO DO, A kinder-gardener would understand to stay in the tournament you need goal so lets throw on attackers. Southgate has made England mediocre. That is a fact. And I’m and Indian, couldnt give two shits about England but its a shame to see this talent go to waste. And for those saying you had talent in the 2000s or 10s with Gerrard, Lampard, Scholes and Becks. That team wasnt as good as this current lot. The midfield was miles better. And thats it probably. Irrespective, the opponents you had at the time where far better too. Take that into consideration. For the sake of the world, I hope Southgate manages England for the next 20 yrs. Btw I’m a Liverpool fan too and this is exactly how I felt with United and OGS or even ETH. So that should knock some sense into pro Southy fans.

Never forget that Joey was calling for Saka whos been the best England performer to get dropped

Yes because he is a trophy dodger 😂 he should be dropped to give us a better chance

Hate to say it, but we've only made enrodes in tournaments when our coach introduces an unknown element. We lost Robson/Wilkins in Mexico and were better for it. Gazza played a blinder 4yrs later, Michael Owen was a godsend in 98 & Walcott was amazing in one world Cup too. Toney needs introduction a lot earlier during normal time....

Drop him and Foden

I read somewhere that Cole Palmer is part Jamaican so that was technically an all black penalty lineup from England

We have had the easiest and luckiest knockout stages in last 3 tournaments and yet we are trophyless

Brian, Fabio capella had Terry, Ferdinand, Ashley Cole, Lampard, Gerrard, Beckham, Rooney

Kane won't be dropped now, Southgate doesn't have the guts. He won't to because they've got this far while playing him. This is the second video btw, where TG has said Kane is more or less useless outside the box. He looks tired now, but at his best he's one of the best strikers outside the box in years. His link up play & passing ability was world class.

With a team full of so much creativity do we really need a striker who drops deep to play? .. get watkins starting

Joey is right about Sterling , Kane always always plays off Sterling they worked so well together

Southgate knows my about tournament football than any other Englishman in history. He’s been to 4 tournaments as player, he’s coached it at youth level and now he’s managed at 4 tournaments. It may be shocking, but these RU-vid pundits know LESS than Southgate.

Saka, mainoo and the central defence have been the only positives from this tournament. It’s just sad:(

What has Gordon & Watkins done to Southgate for him to not give them gametime? Watkins was arguably the PL player of the season. They both have tremendous pace & we know Watkins has been Van Djik's one of the worst knightmare.

sancho should only be speaking for himself , rashford scored 30+ the season before and has been called up to eangland since ..while sancho cant even sniff 10 goals

Everyone knows Otto Rehhagel was the greece 04 manager, come on bro. 😂

Bench Kane....what a sub to bring on if you need a goal hey. He offers less than Ronaldo did for Portugal and English media cussing them for playing him lol

Southgate is the guy to get back to the final and bungle it again

So joey was saying we better drop an uprising potential and premiere league mvp than drop a 30yr old man that plays like 40yr old

Trouble is you can't play Trent with Saka in front of him. It just doesn't work, Trent wants to be where Saka is doing the things that Saka is doing, and if you're not playing Trent for that then there's not a lot of point in playing him. I'd probably put Saka on the left but not as a defender then Trent can play and we can get some service going. As for Kane, he's massively unbalancing the team, isolated, and the rest of the team is having to run more to cover it. All so he can nick a goal once every 5 games whilst preventing the team scoring 10 in that same period. IDK, maybe 4-3-3 would fix this problem, but it'd be easier to just not play Kane. When he came off the other day for that few minutes and Trent was on it was the first time this whole tournament when they looked balanced and like they were playing to win - I don't think that's a coincidence. I'd probably use Kane as a sub in situations that suit him, but I'd definitely not start him. He can win the tournament, hell, he can win the World Cup and this will all continue to be true whilst this is still a thing.

The issue with Southgate is he is very reactive. He's had games in his grasp, but then falls apart. He never makes a change 1st to influence a game. He has been lucky with draws in tournaments, certainly, but you can only beat what's in front of you. He keeps the team compact and slow, and then hopes someone has pulled a worldy out of the bag! Foden has never taken a penalty in his life!

Spot on ….. Southgate will never be brave. Tactically not there and his conservatism is both detrimental as to how far the talented squad can go and penalised every tournament. Brilliant programme! Excellent

Otto Rehhagel was the Greece manager

Razza is definitely a goal maker in these kinds of games, but him and Rashy needed a break

Kane wouldn’t shy away from a penalty, even after the miss against France, he went first in the Euros final last year in the penalty shootout

No one talking about how Southgate’s jumped out of the way to stop his golden boy going into the cooler.

I get all the stick HK is getting but you created 5 chances in 120 minutes, 3 in 90. What do you want him to do? If he’s not getting service how’s he supposed to get you goals? Spain and Germany created 15 chances each, England haven’t created 15 chances in the last 2 matches combined.
