Who’d have thought it?
I was watching tonight with a mate who is Spurs through and through. At the end of the game we asked ourselves if Kane had even had a shot on target yet. We weren't sure he has.
Team game though. Reliance on a 20 goal a season striker is very 2016.
And our next match is on… ITV.More to the point BBC 9 - ITV 0. The curse of England on the third channel continues into another tournament.
England clearly need a 30-40m, 15-20 goal striker, we can all see it, why can’t Southgate or the FA?Who’d have thought it?

Ouch!I had two bets on yesterday
Kane - 1 shot on target (evens)
England win / more than 2 goals in the match / kane anytime (4/1)
Imagine how ecstatic I was when I saw Callum Wilson warming up!
He needs Harry Kane in the box on the end of the crosses I guessI've noticed that in at least two games, the commentator has pointed out that before Kane crosses, he doesn't look over to see where the striker is.
He just puts a well-weighted ball into an area he expects them to be running into.
Exactly this. Some people will scoff and say he’s had a bad tournament because he hasn’t scored a goal. In answer to an earlier post, no he hasn’t had a shot on target yet either. I think he’s played well in 1st and 3rd games, netting 3 assists. I thought USA were excellent against us and stifled everything we wanted to do.The selfless striker. They're meant to be selfish, but selfless running and movement can open up teams for others.
Welbeck has been doing this work all season. He draws focus, with really intelligent movement that opens up the chances we've been taking. Difficult to appreciate in games you need a goal or take a chance. I thought Kane did this very well last night, first half it didn't work as Foden and Rashford came into the spaces with Kane rather than areas he vacated. They sorted that out second half with a simple switching of wings.
