"I don't think he's fully fit" | Should Harry Kane start for England? 

His average position on the pitch against Switzerland was criminal - it feels like we're playing with 10 men at times. If he's injured, he needs to put his ego aside and step aside for someone else, that is what a true captain would do.

Kane is not Able.

DO NOT MAKE THIS AN EXCUSE! Ollie Watkins and Ivan Toney deserve a chance. Why does Kane have the right to play every game even when he is not producing anything?! Ollie Watkins led with goals and assist he deserves a chance.

Why is no one talking about the Gary Lineker roast😂😂

Looks like he’s been running in treacle

If anyone watched the Bundesliga, they wouldn’t be shocked Kane is injured. He has been for months. Wouldn’t be surprised if we hear he has surgery once the tournament is over.

Of course he is unfit . I won’t be surprised , if he has been lying about his back pain injury that he has been struggling with towards the end of the season. It why you don’t see him sprinting into the box for crosses or trying to take defenders on the half turn like his used to , a lower back injury will cause that .

Harry Kane: But im always fit because im England's top scorer in history! 🤨

This is what’s irritating, even if he DOES play.. If he’s under performing SUB HIM OFF!! Give him 55-60 mins tops, if he’s not performing you MUST sub on Watkins or Toney. Atm it feels like we’re playing with 10 men and no striker!

OK start him take him off at half time if he don't improve why is that so hard for southgate i cant believe what im seeing total nonsense

Harry Kane will be joining The Samaritans post tournament. The charity said they expect the number of calls to diminish hugely upon Harry's appointment.

English media trying their best to force their Starting XI😅😅😅😅😅

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.

Start Ivan Toney he has so much better pace than Kane

No, he shouldn’t be starting. He should be used as an impact sub

why is he stood in a field ??

He should be put on after 75 mins

Toney button to start against the Netherlands 🇳🇱

I'd start toney with palmer and Gordon for the front 3

Ivan Tony should start 👍

As a Dutch fan I'm so keen for Harry Kane to start, he'll be covered easily by van Dijk, honestly barely needs to be covered.

I don't mind giving Kane the start if he's just having a rough patch of form, he deserves the chance to start given his numbers and stature as a player. What I'm not okay with is Kane taking up a position in the starting XI if he is actually UNFIT, which looks to be the case, It's irresponsible from both Kane & the management, it can literally cost England a major tournament & you would have thought these players know better. We have perfectly able replacements & Kane should understand what's right for the squad. As much as Kane is praised for his professionalism as a player I've seen moments throughout his career where he showed who he is capable of being, Gary Neville interview for example, he did the same in the CL final for spurs and started the biggest game in their history while being completely unfit and they lost the game, the problem is we don't have a manger with the balls to do anything about it. Great player but it's all about him in his head rather than what's good for the team/country, he can look into himself for why he's never won anything.

How Luke shaw still is classed as a footballer is a mystery to me,the man is to injury prone

Come on, Mr. KANE... COME ON YOU ENGLAND BOYS!!

Kobbie mainoo its not spoken enough as a 19 year old out shone Trent n Gallagher in England's midfield needs massive ratings for that it aint spoken about enough!! 🦍

Let’s go!! Win it NOW!

Well to the England team. We know we have a chance, we have done well and have earned respect for our nation. We know we can overcome these teams but it would be good to forget the importance of a game of football. Netherlands are a good nation and could not wish for a better game. It is just going to come down to the day. Which way the tide turns. Good luck to both teams.

Would love to see Toney get a few more mins, maybe at 60mins

If he starts, then he needs to be subbed much earlier

Goalless tournament him included. Is what it is, the lad is class, take him off earlier, but start him all day

Toney and Watkins should start together but no matter how poor Kane has performed Southgate won’t drop him

He should start, simple as that

Harry kane is a tap in merchant, we need pace.

He probably should start, but he really should come off around the 60 minute mark for Watkins or Toney. But Southgate just won't do it.

Increasingly convinced Rob has as much of a clue as Gareth

Kane will be the reason we don't score enough. But, he and others will cite 51 goals blah blah blah. Right now, we need 10 shots in target. Who's gonna get them?

Kane keeps turning up on the edge of England's penalty area. Love his dedication to the cause but a half fit, half speed striker needs to be hanging around the opponents penalty box.

Play him for 45/60 minutes and see how he looks.🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Keep meditating & praying 3 🦁 fans as its how Argentinian fans ended 36 yrs of hurt. Gareth will get Trent on the pitch with plenty of time to unlock good defences in both final & semi. Jude & TAA & other english player's will score. It's coming home, UK. 58 yrs of hurt will end on next Sunday night. Really Enjoy these 6 days & nights by praying & sweet meditation. It reduces the stress a lot & helps our 3 Lion's boys a lot by making good luck karma.

Kane. He’d score with one leg missing if he’s given chances. Hardly had a sniff due to how opponents are setting up. But give him the opportunities and he’ll get the goals.

Agree, time to drop him now. Anyone would think he was prime Ronaldo or Messi ffs.

Hes gonna start just shut up about it if he stands by maguire what makes you think he will drop kane

You are so annoying by saying he should start!!

Surely the very fact that this is a debate means that he should be dropped

He needs to drop Kane and start toney and Watkins together give the Dutch something to worry about the Dutch defence will not worry about marking a statue playing kane is the same as playing with 10 men

Absolutely not. Give Toney or Watkins a chance. Kane has offered nothing this tournament.

No

He looks shattered

Nobody overseas thinks you’re “bunkers” for considering dropping Kane. Stop the propaganda. Everyone can see he’s useless on the pitch.

England need Kane

No question...Kane must play. Especially injured. He will bite through that.

If Harry Kane puts country over himself he should drop out from this team. His history and goals in the past is not going to help England in the next game. Playing Toney or Watkins gives the team a better chance to win tomorrow.

Kane runs like a tractor when he is fit. If he's not fit then he's pretty much useless to our attack. He's the captain though and Southgate doesn't have the balls to drop him

😴

Excuses excuses excuses…..

Kane should be dropped. He is being picked on reputation and goes missing in so many big games.

I think he is fit but he is no good.

Bench him against Netherlands so that he can be fresh against France in the 3rd round

Kane over rated tap in penalty taker

Results England v Netherlands since the start of this century: Drew 4, England won 1, Netherlands won 4... The Netherlands will make duckshit out of the English, mark my words. England is capable of winning only because of individual qualities, against lower-tier nations like Slovakia, Slovenia, and Serbia. When England faces any top-tier nation in any tournament, it crumbles like snow in the sun... WC2018, EC2020, WC2022, EC2024... it's the truth, look it up.

No
