SHOULD KANE BE DROPPED? 🤔 Alex Crook & Stuart Pearce INSIST He Shouldn't! 

Kane has mastered the art of standing still

People are forgetting that Watkins has a impressive record against VVD including a hat trick. Virgil won't mind Kane dropping deep

Kane Ain't Able

They wide players doesn't trust him because when they put a beauty in there he doesn't make the run. He isn't there.

I saw Kane in defence yesterday 😂😂

I would like to see, Mainoo & Rice dictating a forward lines of Gordon, Palmer, Saka & Watkins. Palmer and Warkins both close to each other and Gordon & Saka attacking from left & right.

If kane is injured he shouldnt start were easy to defend against like this. I dont care how many goals hes scored not fit not playing

Pearce is talking shite and defending the indefensible. Kane couldn’t hold onto the ball when it was given to him, the Swiss defender had him in his pocket. When the ball did get into the box on a couple of occasions, Kane was nowhere to be seen to finish it off. What’s worse he plodded about the match like a guy with glue on his boots. Ffs stop making excuses, he’s washed up and should not start the next game. Get someone on with energy, something Kane seems to be woefully lacking.

Kane IS NOT a lone striker Gareth. Either support him or rest him. Dont f*ck up the amazing work you've done over the last 8 years. Kane coming on for the last 30mins is a lovely option to have and will also allow him that extra yard he is clearly needing at this moment. We have a plethora of options. Congrats on 5 out 5 pens lads 🦁 🦁 🦁

I’m sorry Pearce….but what you say in the first 30 seconds is absolute tosh! Pearce is absolutely rimming Kane. Saka pulled back two great balls yesterday in quick succession and literally nobody was there, not even your golden boy Kane. Where tf was he? Then when he says “Playing too much in the build”. If anyone shouldn’t be it’s Kane yet Pearce says “maybe Kane”. Is he f*kin drunk? The problem is Shitegate and the media look at names before system. We aren’t having shots on target…the question should first be why, then how can we find a solution, then who will give me that solution. You either tell Kane to stay up or drop him ffs! The left side is also absolutely appalling. Foden should be dropped for a proper winger on the left side. Kane should be dropped if he’s always going to be out of position. And Trippier should also be dropped.

Pearce Crooky won’t ever admit it. Kane is finished Watkins Toney offer much more. When have you ever seen Kane run in behind or a stretch a defence

England were never in control of that game, but great pens

Foden and Bellingham had to get deep and collect the ball and start something. The players behind them isn't able to play out well enough.

Kane isn't fit too static everyone can clearly see. Maybe put him on with 20 mins to go. He needs to change his boots i needed sun glasses. But SG wont drop him which limits the player in midfield with the ball looking for movement up front from the number 9. Kane is a passenger unless ball out wide and crosses into the box. playing two strikers would be better like watts and tooney for England but SG so predictable with his base play is laughable. They need to put pressure on van dyke turn him or the dutch defence will play out and control like he does at liverpool and dominate.

He's never in the box

I just think Father Time has caught up with Kane, sometimes it just happens overnight - not his fault but Gareth should see this himself

England just need to pass the ball quicker rather than taking the extra 2/3 passes and have more men in the box when a cross comes in..simples

He should start but taken off after 75th minutes if he is not performing

Kane hasn't been helped by a lack of service but I would drop him as he's clearly not fully fit and struggling with some kind of injury. England have a habit of playing their star players even if they're not fully fit as was the case with Rooney many years ago.

We’ve had crosses that were passed back to defenders rather than kicked into the box…. This has happened a few times…

Why is this even a question?? The emperor has no clothes!

My only criticism of Pickford is he holds onto the ball too long, and fails to set off a counter attack.

I’m not sure which Crook is worse at: football tactics OR having sources/insider intel

Harry Kane has been invisible for every game, we're playing with 10 men. He's slow, not pressing, never there for crosses, and missed at least 2 headers which were easy. Toney, or Watkins have to start! Kane knows he's not playing well, and a good captain should put England first, and insist that the best striker play, over his own ego of wanting to play!

As captain, Kane should step up and be honest and take himself off or say he is not fit. Selfish.

Pearce here saying shite again. Honestly I skip it when that guy talks

Ollie Watkins or Toney needs to start. Kane is good but he needs to play with 2 up front.

Trippier got in at the back post once ...that's all on southgate

Harry Kane big goals in big games? unpack that one.

How can Kane have children when he is never in the box.

Its been Kane's turn since day #1.. he cant move, GS acting the same as Martinez for Portugal..& now they are out

Get olly on

Isn't performing yet has 2 goals in this tournament 🤔 When he retires, then you will see how much we have relied on his goal.

Kane had 9 touches in the whole match, that's hardly someone too involved "in the build"!! The first Saka cross across the 6 yard box, where Kane barely made it into the box, was absolutely criminal and needs to be called out. Kane was stood next to Akanji when Saka started his run, the whole Swiss back 3 got to the edge of the 6 yard box to cover, but Kane was out near the edge of the box, making zero effort to get there! That's his job to be there, FFS! He was absolutely awful, he has been all tournament, and if we're honest, he hasn't been very good for England for years, we've had the same discussions about him at the last 2 tournaments. He's come through with goals in the end in 2021 and 2022, but he needs to offer more than 2 tap ins in 5 games. He's the laziest footballer I've ever seen. Watkins should start and add some real pace and energy, with Toney off the bench, Kane as a last resort! Obviously, that isn't gonna happen... Hopefully Shaw can start on the left vs Netherlands and make some overlapping runs, which he's so good at.

You don’t drop your best goalscorer. He already scored 2 goals too btw. Games will be even more difficult in the later stages of the tournament. You need the best players on the field.

All this Blah Blah Blah... it depends on what the Manager is asking him and is he executing it correctly. Maybe it is the nature of the tactic that makes him quiet, doesn't necessarily mean he is not doing his role. People need to start watching the game in a more broader view instead of small stats.

Don't think he should. I doubt another st would jump in and do any better. Perhaps runs but the quality in shooting drops considerably

Your working on the bases that Southgate is capable or willing of making a change.

The latest load of clickbait nonsense. Broadcasters are basically playing a game of “ who should be dropped this week? “ 2 weeks ago it was Foden. Then it was Saka and look how he played yesterday. Now it’s Kane’s turn. You don’t drop englands top goal scorer and the player most likely to win you the game.

Watkins would give the Dutch more trouble than carthorse Kane.

Kane is englands best striker. If you don’t play a formation with wingers or central midfielders getting behind Kane’s strengths are a little wasted as he is so good at link up play. Really feels like England fans (pundits) want to lose playing a 442

Do we need to start respecting Southgate more 100 games three semi finals he's made us dream again Win vs Holland we reach our first ever final abroad

" he's not gonna drop Harry kane"?....and why not? He's about as useful as a chocolate fireguard

If Kane is not fit or out of form, then continuing to play him is cheating the team, the country and himself

I would like to see Toney and watkins

100% absolutely Kane should be dropped

Kane is in dog years elderly. He should be replaced. He can’t physically run anymore. But he’s the face of English football, captain and all the advertising and branding that goes with modern football. Gareth doesn’t want to be the manager who finally dropped an ailing Harry Kane.

Alex Crook been on the wursts and bier diet?

Pearce and his pathetic opinions yet again.

Kane is deceptive, he is even slower than he looks😮😮 The "you can't drop Kane" argument is ludicrous, he has been England's worst player so far in this tournament, so FFS drop him to the bench and play a striker that is fit, quicker and will offer more to the team than Kane. For the game against the Netherlands, the ideal Kane replacement is Watkins, who will exploit their Achilles' heel Virgil Van Dyke (who is even slower than Kane)

Kane isn't that good... he never has been, he plays in a one team league so of course he's going to be top scorer 😂😂😂 Stuart Pearce saying he's annoyed at the lack of crosses into the box for kane but the problem is kane is never there... hes pretty much sitting on stones and rice's lap.. it's like he's forgotten he's a striker 😂😂😂 drop him from the squad and get some real players on

Foden is the one who needs dropping.

The stupidity of the English is astonishing. Kane is great player, but he’s not inform in this tournament. Why analysts falling back on his past performances, things change, players change, players lose form and fitness; they’re not robots. Drop Kane and play Watkins and Toney. Start with Watkins for the first half and see what Toney can do for 45 minutes. And stop taking Mainoo off he’s the type that pulls individual efforts in the box.

Look at Crook. Chicken. Kane has been poor very poor. He's lazy, short of pace. For a CF he's all over the pitch ducking his responsibility as a striker. Kane ruins teams. He did at Spurs and now Bayern. He doesn't play off the the number 10. Making it difficult for those around him. You see it all the time.

Kane is awful. Only scores lucky deflections. Get him out and England shirt

Kane looks dead on his feet, get toney on the pitch.

If kane is injured he shouldnt start were easy to defend against like this. I dont care how many goals hes scored not fit not playing
