350th career if H starts today.
- Kane has scored nine league goals - a 10th would see him become just the fourth Englishman to reach double figures in seven consecutive Premier League campaigns.
- Harry Kane has had 10 assists in this season's top flight, more than any other player.
- Eight of those assists have been for Son Heung-min - one more would equal the Premier League record for most assists for a team-mate in a season, set by Blackburn's Mike Newell (for Alan Shearer in 1995-96) and Liverpool's Stan Collymore (for Robbie Fowler, also in 1995-96).
And I repeat the bloke showing dangerous disregard for the oponent is the bloke flying kamikaze like through the air! But on Fernandes sneaky nasty deliberate deserves a ban.
He should lose his job clearly a fucking idiot
Although the wording is ambiguous, I do not believe that one judge ranked all of these players above Kane.
They are just names that various judges ranked above Harry Kane.
It's perversely amusing to see that Jose has fallen into exactly the same pattern as Poch. It doesn't matter that Jose doesn't seem to share Poch's sentimental streak or that there's now a theoretical backup for Kane in the wings, Kane will start until he dies out on the pitch.
I think Jose started with the earnest intent of rotating and not making the same mistakes as Poch, but eventually learned why Poch came to depend so heavily on Kane. I think it's the trap of having a world class player who so obviously and consistently elevates the team: the temptation to rely on him for "just one more match" is too strong to resist (until it happens again the next match).
With Jose's cold pragmatism, I doubt he'd be starting Kane in every game if he had confidence in Vinicius to do the same job. Of course, Jose gets to see the two every day in training in order to judge -- we don't get that luxury. For all we know Vinicius might be progressing well, but, in Jose's defence, while this Spurs team is seriously in the mix for every award and Kane is its most important player, it's going to be very hard for any manager to justify swapping Kane out for a lesser player and relative novice.
I could easily imagine that if I were a manager, I'd fall into the trap of overplaying Kane too. I wouldn't like to put a number on it but the percentage improvement you get in this team with Kane in it compared to out of it is big (maybe bigger than it ideally should be for a single player tbh).
Ok so a 3-4-1-2 system doesn't suit him, leaves him too far forward, and he ends up isolated
You get the best out of him when he's given the freedom to drop deep
BUT he was still really average today...

worst game in a spurs shirt imo. took too long on the ball every time and looked lethargic and not bothered.
hopefully he's not checked out and on his way out
i wouldn't blame him at this point
i dont know about that. hes obsessed with playing killer balls now i think. needs to add variety to his game.
I just can't see him ever not wanting to perform on a football pitch. I think tiredness (top 5 most minutes in the league of any player this season; it's back to Poch-style overdependence) and the need to conserve energy to not tire himself out even more for upcoming games is the most obvious explanation for his lethargy.
It must be so stressful to be exhausted, relied upon to make things happen, and still acutely aware that you're going to have to do it all again in a few days.
I think he is getting pissed, as is Son, that they are defending more than they are attacking.
This is most likely the last season we have with this man and it is going to be wasted as a defender in his own box.
Apart from doing something truly special, which should never be relied upon as a tactic, I am not sure either could have done much more.
You think him and son are getting pissed off with tactics therfore are playing very badly on purpose because of defensive duties and trying to force a move?
