Transcript

00:00Is that a concern to you, that England may be slightly over-reliant on Kane?

00:05Yeah, I'll be honest, yeah, because ultimately, you know, when you're at a major tournament,

00:10if we go back to the Euros, we go back to the Euros for instance,

00:14Harry Kane didn't have the best of tournaments in the Euros.

00:17You know, they persisted, persisted, persisted.

00:19And if you look at the boys that have gone there, sitting on the bench of centre forwards,

00:24that's disheartening.

00:25You know, it's got to be disheartening when you're looking at someone

00:28who's not had the best of tournaments, you know, looked like he's carrying an injury,

00:32and yet you still can't get a game.

00:34You know, and I think as he got to the latter part of the tournament,

00:37you know, Gareth started to make changes, take him off earlier,

00:40Wally Watkins came on and scored a goal and things like that.

00:43So, everyone needs to be given the opportunity.

00:46You know, we can all sit here and say they're not good enough,

00:49but how do you know someone's not good enough

00:51if someone don't get given an opportunity to prove that they're good enough?
