England would do well to take off Kane for DCL or Rashford tbh. Especially Rashford with his pace and movement in behind. Kane is irrelevant this tournament.
Day 17: England vs Germany | Sweden vs Ukraine (Ro16 7&8)
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
Has Harry Kane's physical attributes deteriorating already? He seems slow and lethargic
headlines for the 2022 WC: England back to playing with 11, Kane fit*
Because there’s no chance he’ll be anywhere near it to feck it up?
But seriously, tell him to push up and just let him do what he does best. Finish.
Kane gets away with absolute abysmal performances sometimes..
The ball just got Kaned.
Kane touched it!
Any bets for how many subs will be made before Kane?
sub Kane for Grealish.
Kane just doubled his touches
At least Rooney would try and put some effort in, which means that he might make himself available for a pass once in 35 minutes of football. Kane's just been hiding from the ball, no wonder nobody's able to find him.
Too busy trying to get a move from Spurs and mega bucks. Doesn't realise not even a league 2 team will buy him with these kind of performances the thick cnut.
Walker not even being brave enough to cross the bloody ball for heavens sake.
Kane has done nothing again. Not even attempting to win headers. Would be better off with a false 9 in there if he’s not going to contribute anything.
We’re a bunch of fannies
Maguire is doing well to being the ball out of defense. I would have thought Walker would be the one doing it but he hasn't done it once yet.
5 men in the box and Walker can’t put the ball in
Really need one of the attackers on in the second half
This has late German winner written all over it.
Germany are sitting VERY deep. I think they're afraid of the pace of Sterling/Saka.
I guess the obvious counter to that is to put on Grealish. But then Germany would probably stop playing so deep.
I don't think we're in desperate need to make a change. England have been comfortable so far.
We look petrified whenever we get near their box
Rice has been awful so far and now he’s tentative on a booking
Not sure. It was two German ones they played, anyway.
Bahaha exactly what I was thinking. They replaced Podolski with another Podolski
I cannot believe we didn't get that in the box.
What a shit game. The worst Day After ever.
Is Gnabry fit?
100% Germany are there for the taking, England well mainly Southgate needs to grow some balls
This game is totally there to be won if we had any bollocks.
Be nice if our CF could move wh
Sane for Werner, Grealish for Kane.
Thought England have looked good, surprised at the posts in here asking what the tactic is, whatever that means.
Candidate for worse game of the knock out stage? So far anyway
True, but Kane generally drops deep when he's been deprived of the ball. He isn't even doing that tonight.
Something is off with him, as it has been throughout the tournament.
Got to admit, I'm agreeing with Nicky Butt re Rice.
Obvious to all except Southgate.
Belgium Portugal was worse.
Should be a criminal offence to not start Grealish, Sancho, Foden or Mount against this Germany team at home. Where are Gareth’s balls?
