Gary Lineker doubles down on Kane, England criticism after BBC left ’embarrassed’ and ‘irritated’ by host

And even the England players and manager have said since then that there was something wrong in the group games, but they are over it now and they have been improving. On the BBC, we were basically just saying that too.

There were never any personal attacks at all, on Harry or anyone else, because that is not our style but we do have to be honest about what we see. I think Harry would be the first to agree that he was not at his best but I feel like we have been fair on him and the team.

The only time I have talked about him myself was from a tactical and technical point of view, speaking as a former striker, about how he does not really run in behind so you have got to get other players to do that. If those players are not doing it either, England have got a really g…

Liverpool superstar Salah’s exit ‘will happen’ this summer as FSG prepare £100m sale

Keith Wyness believes Mohamed Salah leaving Liverpool will happen this summer, and FSG will be looking to make £100million, rather than allowing the superstar one last season at Anfield.

The Reds have enjoyed the services of Salah since 2017, when Jurgen Klopp brought him to the club from Roma. Since then, the Egyptian forward has bagged 211 goals and assisted another 89 in 349 appearances.

He has been the Premier League s top scorer on three occasions, and has won the league and the Champions League with Liverpool, among other honours.

But Salah s time at Anfield could be coming to an end, with a push from the Saudi Pro League potentially being reignited after a huge bid to land him was turned down last summer.

According to Wyness, Liverpool have a big…
