I really hope playing him at #10 won't be a regular thing. He won the Golden Boot ffs.
I agree, he'll have more space to play in & exploit with Janssen as a regular partnerMost of his goals were scored from a more midfield type position, or just by being near the 6 yard box on set pieces.
I think he would actually be more effective in his scoring if he got more chances outside the box.
True perhaps but do we really want Janssen going one on one? He puts himself about which is great but I am not sure he is a finisher or technically the best.Most of his goals were scored from a more midfield type position, or just by being near the 6 yard box on set pieces.

Kane didn't play no10 today, he played so much deeper than that. He was picking the ball up in our own half. Janssen ran around and tried hard, and Deli was poor. So many 50/50 's he didn't even go for. We were terrible today. What's happened?Anonymous today.
I know we're literally 3 games in but I'm starting to believe those who feel Kane is wasted at #10 - just play them BOTH up front whilst whoever is closest to the ball at the time drops back to receive the ball to play it - it's almost as if we're playing Kane behind an inferior striker just to get them both on the pitch.
Play them both up top and let them create problems for both centre halves.
It just seems strange to me. If Kane and Janssen play now, they have to simply play up top as a two or bring one on for the other.Kane didn't play no10 today, he played so much deeper than that.

It's a shame Walker got injured really - as I think with his pace on the right and Kane being up top on his own, we may have played ALOT better then we did, then who knows..Yeah, but Harry's like a faithful retriever. He takes his role so seriously. We look a bit thick at the moment.

I agree. The way Kane played today may be the way Poch wanted him to play, but 19 passes with 13 inaccurate passes?! I know we are only into our third game, but Kane playing behind Janssen (for 60 mins or so today) didn't seem to work out well. To Liverpool's credit, Mane did a hell of job coming down to mark Kane all the time today.Kane was picking up the ball today in areas that we saw our AM's pick up the ball last season. I think he was playing the position in the way that Pochettino wants the system to be implemented. Which is yet another reason why I don't want Kane playing behind Janssen.

'Lol' do tell me something I haven't seen (live by the way not on some shit stream where you claim some knowledge or fucking youtube. What am I missing? One of the best finishers? He has only had one period of form at the highest level about 6 months.Lol. One of the best finishers you're likely to find, when on form.
I have watched 160 minutes of the guy and he ain't the best technically.
