He will probably never surpass Pelé, but it's nice England managed to have a top scorer for once, shame he didn't manage to score more than 6.

PaulHartman71 Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 I think it's easy to slam him for it and the vast majority of the goals were tap-ins/penalties, but I think considering his role in the team he did well to get that many. I'm not sure what exactly Southgate has him instructed to do, but he was dropping so much deeper and coming out-wide a hell of a lot more than I've ever seen him do for Spurs. Think that overall it seemed to work as it got us through the tournament, but think he could've easily ended the tournament in double figures if we had the players to play to his strengths like Spurs do.

westy8chimp Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 Surely he will queitly refuse the trophy out of embarrassment? Terrible performance throughout the world cup, i'm glad we are more civilised with Colombia, so wouldnt want him killed, but a good booing countrywide for a season should put him in his place Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think one of Southgate's strengths was perhaps clocking on that we were pretty poor from open-play, so along with having Kane drop deep to help out, he focused heavily on set-pieces to make us a massive threat from set-pieces. We were also helped by utterly moronic defenders not clocking on that pulling shirts from corners would be punished by VAR. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
