Spot on....Gets embarrassing it really does but we're used to it and it's been like this for decades
As so he f**king should. He kicked the ball twice once from penalty spot.

Perhaps, as for the last 20 years I'd say, our players aren't that good?
Once the last eras of truly gifted: offensive players fizzled out (Gazza, Beardsley, Waddle, Lineker), great goalies and also world standard defenders bloody good in their roles (G.Neville, Pearce, Butcher), we've been found out. Some of our players were sought after by Italian and Spanish clubs.
Media and hype by many of us during each PL season about the greatness of Kane, Alli, Dier, Sterling, Oxlade, Rashford and Lingard. The real stars are Sanchez, Coutinho, Hazard, Willian, Kante, Mane, De Gea, Herrera, Eriksson and the list goes on. Genuinely gifted players, creators against any opposition.
It's a long list of English and foreign managers who have now failed with our overrated players.
Improvement from Sat then
I wonder if it will get to the point we're players like Kane won't bother anymore.
I'm bias but he is a world class striker.
His stats back this up - he would get in any club side in the world currently
Agree he never gets that space in domestic football. He gets clattered.
No he's not, he's good but not World class
His stats say differently
29 goals in 30 league games
30 goals in last 25 games
4 hattricks this season
If an over seas player was doing that we would be going bat shit
I am massively bias!!!!

He's a very good finisher in the form of his life. But why don't we hear of any European giants ever making a move for him? The media find out everything.
Perhaps the likes of Morata, Hinguain, Lewandowski, Benzama, Mbappe, Suarez, Neymar etc have more to their game. More mobile, creators, and outstanding technical footballers.

lets see if he's doing in 2 seasons time
If Kane was on the market I think every major club would be after him.
He has more to his game than just finishing - his work rate and creation levels are high.
Swap him with Benzema and he would out score him in that real side.

FA through and through. No controversies, blazer and tie smartly attired, talks the tactical talk, giving the next golden generation of a chance.
If the answer is Livermore and Cresswell, what's the question?
Reminiscent of the Graham Taylor (RIP) era, in that caps are handed out like confetti. Anyone remember Geoff Thomas, Mark Bright and Carlton Palmer getting the ultimate acolade at time of England caps?
How can we repeat the 94 qualification result?

Bright never played for England, but your point is correct!

I was at the Slovenia v Malta game on Saturday and watching that felt a bit like watching this game. You always knew Slovenia were the much better side and it was a question of when they unpicked the Maltese defence. France were so much better than England and it showed.
We've just won the U20 World Cup. I say start bringing in those players now and build a side that can properly challenge for the World Cup in 5 years time or the Euros in 7 years.

Why two more seasons? He's won the premier league Golden Boot two years running, scored 30+ goals in two of the last three seasons and scored 20+ premier league goals for three consecutive seasons. He has outscored everyone in the premier league over the last three years. At the very least he's an outstanding premier league striker.
As for England, I haven't seen the game, don't intend to either. There are deep rooted issues with the national team that I doubt very much will be overcome by Southgate. He talks a good game but his teams rarely seem to match it. I hope I'm wrong, I really do, it'd be great to finally have a half decent national team again but I just can't see it.
I think we actually look pretty good when we attack, in Kane and Ali we have two brilliant players, scoring for us is not an issue as has been shown in recent games. The issue is defending, we are AWFUL. 5 goals conceded in 2 games and 2 of those were against bloomin Scotland.
