Ex-Spurs Player Harry Kane

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Lads and ladettes, can anybody explain to me how two working and competing goal-scorers are taken off and Kane, a former fav of mine is left on tonight? He's lethargic at best. I have Co firenze in Conte but he can only hope for so long about Kane. Kane should be gone.

He did some good work holding the ball up and finding others. Would have been right in position to score if Bergie hadn't been there too.

I'm okay with it.
I think he should have done a lot more. That's not enough and you can see by his numbers this season, if he was at least okay he should already have a lot more of goal and assist. It seems the best he can do now is hold the ball up and make one good pass that wouldn't end up in a goal.

We all know he's having a crap season, but it's hard to do a whole lot when you're smothered by 2 defenders every time you get the ball. He did well to give the other players a chance by finding them with clever passing and hold-up play.

But hey, whatevz.
 
It's all good given we won. He did his part to get us the victory

But if you're still not convinced about Kane not being in a massive decline, I'm afraid you're in denial

We've seen this story play out with Eriksen and Dele over the past 2-3 seasons
 
I don't think he was shite at all.

HIs passing was very good all game and we needed that as we had nobody else to do the job. I think today showed how much we need another striker to play with him so that when he does drop back someone can convert chances he creates.
I do agree that we need another striker. But I think for Kane to be at his best he needs a player like Eriksen in the MF who can create space and put in a good pass when he is near the box.

Ndombele has shown glimpses of it but is way too inconsistent, Lo Celso and Dele has been disappointing and guys like Skipp and Hojberg lack creativity in our MF.
 
I thought he was alright: I think it’s more that he now has other players supporting him and get into the box that he’s struggling with. If every pass forward goes to you (as it did with Jose), then it’s easier to get the touches. Now, tho, there are better options flooding into the box so he has to compete for the strike.

His hold up okay was decent in the first half and a good pass for Sonny.

I agree if we had someone like Kane to put the passes in that he does he wouldn't have to drop back like he does.

We need both another striker and a creative player.
