He's 22 and he's been playing for the U21s since 2018, which is a bit odd. He'll no longer be eligible after the U21s Euros next summer, by which point he'll be 23. Skipp and Spence are in similar positions.
I you took vid footage of all of Kane and Sons' long range goals. and impose a rectangle of a size representing a wall 10 yds away, I suspect that a lot more of Sons' shots in flight would clear the rectangle than Kanes' wpuld. I also think that Son scores a higher % of goals from range than Kane does. All moot of course until a manager tells Kane he ain't first choice for free kick duties.
One good thing about Kwarteng's mini budget, Man Utd and Arsenal fans kvetching about Eric Dier starting this evening has little chance of getting into the trending tab
THis has to be down to the manager. How does he manage to deliver such negative performances with an undoubtedly talented squad.
Tbh, it looks like a Spurs first half on a regular basis under Conte. The issue is whether England can raise their game in the second half and come away with a win? Not particularly great viewing. I have to admit.
I don't think we look that negative with Conte. We generally have active wing backs. Walker confined to defence has to be a waste of talent.
It's not identical but it is familiar. Now, we need to up the intensity and ambition...much as Conte has us doing most weeks.
THis is not a great Italian side we really should be dominating this but we've hardly created a chance.
The commentator says Italy are great at keeping a clean sheet. Germany have just scored 5 against this lot.
