England Coach Told To Drop Kane

England Coach Told To Drop Kane

England manager Gareth Southgate has been urged to drop all-time leading scorer Harry Kane.

The Bayern Munich striker did find the back of the net as England drew 1-1 with Denmark in their Group C clash on Tuesday.

The England players and Southgate came in for some heavy criticism after the draw, but former Scotland star Ally McCoist feels Kane should be dropped.

"Stuart Pearce is 100% right when it comes to being bold enough to drop Harry Kane, I include everybody," McCoist told BoyleSports.

I don't just include Harry Kane in that. It doesn't matter who you are. It's similar to Cristiano Ronaldo, the fact of the matter is, if it benefits the team, you think there's a substitution required, whether it's Harry Kane or Ronaldo, it doesn't matter who it is. That's when the manager earns his corn. You've got to make a decision.

"Sometimes your decisions have to be brave and they might go against the grain. But if you think it's for the benefit and it's beneficial to the team moving forward, then it's a decision, it's a no-brainer. You have to make that decision.

"Pearce is spot on. It doesn't matter if it's Harry Kane, if he's not playing well then it might be a better option with Ollie Watkins using his pace running through. I don't know.

"But if there is a better option available, then he has to make that decision."
