kane, just a shite forward who lost us the tournament, can't control the ball, free kicks and corners woeful who does he think he is Ronaldo, positional sense useless...hope he never plays again for England ...and you muppets all defending him
Dier has played 58 matches in total this season (4117mins) , Dele 52 (3289mins) - inc subs on & England. Kane has played 56 (3685mins)
That's 14 more times than Vardy (3185 mins played) but just 500mins more (8 games).
So why is nobody saying Dier and Ali need a fucking rest. Walker has played 3123 mins in total this season.
It's all bollocks.
That's very rose tinted mate. There are other great players in that squad, just a complete void of effective leadership and vision.Having felt so sorry for the 5 Spurs players out there... it makes you appreciate what having the rest of the Spurs players like Eriksen, Lamela, the Belgians and Lloris alongside them does for their confidence...
Account made today, first post slagging off Kane.
Clutching at straws if we're saying the Iceland central defence is better than most premier league teamsBig big difference between international football and the Premier League which generally has aversge defenders.

True, let's sell Alderweireld and Vertonghen for a tidy profit and get some international defenders in.A bit like the one that thought we would walt past Iceland.

A few people have said "who'd want to take the England job?"... I bloody would, we've got a very good squad to work with, it just needs somebody with leadership and a foot in this decade.
Strayed a bit from the defenders point, but I'd argue Kane wasn't helped trying to lead the line on his own with crap service from Sterling and Sturridge (Lallana was a bit better). If we had lined up in a 4-2-3-1 with Alli in the no 10 position behind Kane I think we would've seen a lot more from both of them.Mate, much as we capitulated a little as a club last season, Kane could have done no more. I have no issue with him but think he could well suffer a Euro hangover.
Part of his problem though and in my opinion is that too much is heaped on his shoulders. Too much expected of him and that is because at club level it is either him or no one.
Kane has a long way to go be top quality. The same with Alli. Both Walker and Rose were much more impressive in their respective positions which I put down to experience.
Kane has so much to learn which having other strikers at the club and sometines alongside him would make that much easier.
Too many on here along with specific England fans refuse anything otber than idolatry and then when it goes wrong resort instantly to insults. Like the pundits who flit in and out of platitudes to suit.
How many of these highly paid know alls were being critical and cautious before the tournament started?
Sure thing buddy, have your wobble!Well I feel like being 'rose-tinted' ...there's not much to be rose-tinted about at the moment, so at least grant me my folly!!
Spurs will help get our England contingent back on track... and give them their confidence back.
TBH, the Spurs players merely continued our shocking form in the final 4 games of the season INTO the Euros... I'm surprised Woy didn't see that coming sooner...
