Ex-Spurs star Fox slams Hodgson over Kane, Alli treatment

Former Tottenham star Ruel Fox says ex-England coach Roy Hodgson let down Harry Kane and Dele Alli at the Euros.

Five of Mauricio Pochettino's young side were included in England's squad this summer but they failed to carry their impressive club form onto the international stage.

"I think forcing them to do different things did not help them at all. Hodgson let those players down," Fox told Bwin.

"These players who get called up, and the Spurs players in particular, get selected because they get the help at their clubs to succeed and the players are put in the right positions to play their best.

"When they get to the international set up, they should get the same support from Hodgson to do that and they didn't.

"You can't have Harry Kane taking corners and free-kicks when it's not something he did at his club."
