The entire country has a pretty clear message for Harry Kane

Harry Kane is, without a doubt, one of the finest English talents of this generation.

But pretty much the entire country has the same message for Harry Kane, and the message addresses something that is becoming a pattern in Kane’s playing style over recent weeks.

People have noticed that the Spurs and England striker seems to be allergic to passing the ball to his teammates.

This was all too apparent during England’s 2-1 win over Turkey at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday night.

This guy actually sums it up better than anyone else…

Quite…

The striker is taking free kicks and penalties for England at the moment, and having missed one of the latter, people are wondering if he’s soon going to venture out into other set pieces.

One huge positive though is that, despite missing a penalty, Kane got himself on the scoresheet, and so did Jamie Vardy – perhaps a sign that both players could carry their tremendous goalscoring form into Euro 2016.
