Former Gunners defender criticizes Kane’s World Cup display

Out of the all selections at the current World Cup, England has one of the most favorable opponents in the last round – Wales. All they need to do is to win, and they will be in the Round of 16, but at home, various former players are still debating their Qatar form, after they played 0-0 with USA. And one of the players who is on the frontline is Harry Kane. Even thou Tottenham striker has been self-critical enough and admitted that his performances lately have not been up to the standards, that didn’t stop others to comment on his performances, and former Arsenal captain is one of them.🗣️ Tony Adams on Harry Kane – “If i was a CB against him I’d have a cigar on.What I feared was forwards with pace who get in spaces behind but Kane doesn’t do that & if he was running at me I’d be able to deal because he’s not going to have the pace to get round me” (@sunsport) pic.twitter.com/ySuu2cWBXs— Doc (@karthikadhaigal) November 28, 2022 Believe it or not, the last time Kane scored a goal for England from open play and not from the penalty spot was over a year ago – 15.11.2011 in the World Cup qualifier against San Marino, which Albion won 10-0. And Tony Adams claims that he would be happy is he was playing at the World Cup against Kane.“He doesn’t get in behind the defence and he doesn’t face you up. He’s a link player who is going deeper and deeper to get the ball. People probably feel I’ve got it in for Harry after I also said we should take the captaincy off him and give it to Declan Rice, but that isn’t the case at all. And it’s not an Arsenal-Spurs thing either. We need Harry Kane, he is obviously one of the best strikers in the world, you only have to look at his numbers, but if I was a centre-back up against him in Qatar I’d have a cigar” said Adams in his column for the Sun.How to fight the criticism and noise? Well, just ignore themArsenal’s legend has an ‘advice’ for the Spurs striker and that his to go deeper into the penalty area, especially in his age.“Harry’s 29 now and isn’t going to get any quicker so, like Shearer, he needs players to feed him. Where I want to see Harry is on the edge of the box, holding the ball up, pivoting and laying it off the way Shearer could do and Alan Smith did for us at Arsenal. Then he has to get in the penalty area and hope we finally start putting some crosses in. That’s where I want to see him, not ten yards inside his own half. He’s no good to anyone there” said Adams.Monday, Nov 28thCameroon – Serbia 3-3 (1-2)/Castelletto 29, Aboubakar 63, Choupo-Moting 66 – Pavlovic 45+1, Milinkovic-Savic 45+2, Mitrovic 53/S.Korea -Ghana 2-3 (0-2)/Cho, 58, 61 – Salisu 24, Kudus 34, 68/19:00: (1.50) Brazil (4.10) Switzerland (7.00) G22:00: (2.10) Portugal (3.20) Uruguay (3.80) H
