Harry Kane or Sterling, I go with Sterling as Kane actually has talent.

So Harry Kane is our best free kick taker
Where is the evidence to back it up Kane should never have been allowed to take them. |

Sterling was terrible, but in my eyes he has always been terrible, so I wasn't shocked by his (not so) sudden terribleness, but Harry Kane... Wtf happened to him?! Seriously?! He was so awful he stood out even among all the awfulness around him

He's knackered.

Exactly. Tiredness does explain why some players have these inexplicably bad tournaments.

Joe Hart's howlers cost England dear. He was far too pumped up for matches when a calmer head was needed. His distribution was poor, his positioning questionable and he has completely lost the art of catching a cross unless it is down his throat with no opponent within fifteen yards of him. I wince every time I watch him flap at the sort of crosses a half decent goalkeeper would take in his stride.
Another thing I dislike is this practice of attempting to stop shots by throwing his body out in an exaggerated X shape.... arms and legs spread, hoping the ball will hit him somewhere and bounce clear. I have watched England goalkeepers of the past from Banks through Clemence and Shilton, Seaman and even Chris Woods. None of them kept goal like that. He's caught de Gea's disease (and I don't think it makes de Gea a great goalie either. He's just luckier than Hart or he's got it better perfected). Iceland's second goal was a case in point. He made no attempt to save the ball with his hands, he just stuck out a foot and tried to kick it away. Joe Hart is no longer England's best goalkeeper in my opinion. He's lost the plot and should be replaced by Fraser Foster who at least commands his penalty area and has more of an air of calm about him that inspires more confidence than Manic Joe. |

Rooney was awful against Iceland but one of England's best players in the other three matches. Doesn't deserve to have as many votes as he does, but just the usual anti-United bias.
Sterling and Kane without a doubt the worst. |

Kane easily. Literally the only thing he did was take terrible corners and free-kicks, no positives at all.
Sterling might have come close if hadn't won that penalty against Iceland. |

Rooney probably for the first time looked a bit old in this tournament, absolutely dreadful against Iceland and a shadow of the player who would run through walls in his heyday. Overall England play in a straightjacket tied up by now 50 years of hurt, scared to try anything for fear of losing and ending up losing because of it. |

Sterling and Kane along with Hart were the real stinkers.
Not sure how Rooney has so many votes in comparison to the likes of Wilshere and Alli who did absolutely nothing. Rooney outplayed Alli for the first 2 matches and was no worse than him against Iceland. |

Between Kane and Sterling but time for Fraser Forster to replace Hart imo. Far too pumped up.

I voted for Sterling but personally I think him and Kane are tied, had Joe Hart been on the list I would have picked him as out of the four goals England conceded he was to blame for two of them which is simply not good enough for a keeper of his experience I'm afraid.
If you don't have a solid goalkeeper, you're screwed and he is far too flaky (no head and shoulders pun intended I swear!). |

I don't accept the tiredness excuse. There are players in this tournamnet who have played more games (and more difficult games) than Harry Kane. If I remember correctly, he stopped playing after Spurs lost the league (or a few games before that) which is just the spirit England has displayed throughout this tournament. I agree with the above poster who said England should have started with Vardy

His ability is undoubted and fatigue was with little doubt the reason he underperformed. |

Have you seen De Gea play Italy just a few hours before the England game? |

He's just more or less saying De Gea employs a similar style in one on ones. He's hardly been faultless in the tournament anyway, let a bad near post one in against Croatia and was partly to blame for the first they conceded against Italy.
Stop being ridiculous. |

It isn't an excuse, its a fact. Tiredness isn't always about the number of games played. He was shot before the end of the season.

We get the real story then, its actually an irrational dislike of Kane. Maybe all footballers should work on their fitness to try and look less tired.

Hal Robson-Kanu was a bit tired when he came off yesterday, maybe he should also work on his fitness.
You've been shown up over Kane regardless of trying to disguise the remark behind Spurs end of season form, you called him spineless. As I've said the reason behind his poor tournament is clear. |

He lost all confidence and form towards the end of the season when spurs capitulated to their north London neighbours. It's nothing to do with physical tiredness, he showed mental weakness and a complete lack of form - he shouldn't have been playing for England. If players aren't in form or are coming back from injury - then we shouldn't play them. Add to this Roy's crap managing and complete lack of a regular system and it explains why we lost to Iceland. |
