Arsenal legend Paul Merson trolls Harry Kane during Slovenia Euro 2024 clash following England captain's Gary Lineker criticism

Former England striker Gary Lineker described the Three Lions' 1-1 draw with Denmark as "sh*t" earlier this month. This prompted Bayern Munich striker Kane to say ex-internationals, who are now pundits, should "remember what it's like to wear the shirt" and be more "helpful" before they criticise Gareth Southgate's side. Now, ex-Gunners player Merson has aimed a cheeky jibe at the 30-year-old, with England then drawing 0-0 with Slovenia on Tuesday.

At half-time, where England had more chances and possession but did little with it, Merson tweeted: "Brilliant first half and lots of shots on goal against the best team in Europe…. (Is that okay Harry?) 👍🏼😂⚽️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 #EURo2024."

For the first time in what seems a long time, England's players and the manager are getting more widely criticised for their performances. While they topped their Euros group and are into the last 16, they do not look like a side that will end their barren run without an international trophy - dating back to the 1966 World Cup.

England are in last 16 action on Sunday evening, where they may face the Netherlands or whoever finishes third in Group E. After winning just one game so far, they will need to find the winning touch in the knockout stages to progress further.
