Kane even after injury looked good in a poor Tottenham side, granted he did have Bale and Son around him.
Is it Southgate's ultra cautious approach that's making him look bad?
He has 221 for Tottenham and 34 in 55 games for England prior to the tournament.
Jimmy Greaves was dropped and hardly ever played England again at the peak of his powers when England won the World Cup in 1966, could the same thing happen to Harry?
Ollie Watkins plays for a club side who wear claret and blue...
I'm really not sure, I was lucky enough to be at Wembley for the Scotland game (some might dispute the luck there but I enjoyed it!) and he just looked so unbelievably leggy.
I did think sometimes players were too far away from him, Grealish maybe got a bit closer last night but he was getting it into feet against Scotland and Foden and Sterling were both 30 yards away either side. So taking a touch and popping it off was impossible and he just got swarmed.
But the whole thing for me was that he just looked like an articulated lorry or something. I guess historically he starts things slowly (like how he never scored in August before) so maybe he'll improve?? Definitely think Southgate will stick with him for better or for worse.
Watkins got cut out the squad btw, and if Calvert-Lewin hasn't got so much of a sniff yet I think we're going down the Kane track!
