Yeah but Poch did have the general team fitness at a high level. I think at that stage he thought an unfit/injured Kane was still the best option.Last 3 managers really. Kane played the CL final...while clearly being unfit.

Its not about getting fit, he needs to work with Conte on patterns of play and work on his movement and finishing.Yeah let’s get him shape for his dream January transfer at our facilities and expense
Fuck that, go and travel you’re the “best striker on the planet”
If Kane isn’t fit then he’s showing yet again how selfish he is by not admitting it and getting himself in shape. There is no way any professional manager asks the player “are you good to go” he says “no” and is then forced out there anyway.
If he’s fit for us, he can fuck off to Eastern Europe and be fit for England
He’s 28 and supposedly a world class striker, yet suddenly he doesn’t understand how to play football and only Conte can save him?Its not about getting fit, he needs to work with Conte on patterns of play and work on his movement and finishing.
Really don't understand your anger. You need to work on that pal.
He has always run around like he does now, even 3 or 4 years ago when he was smashing them in for fun. Look at pics of him as a kid, look at videos of him breaking through into the first team, he has always been on the heavy side and never lean, mean and rapid like an Henry or Ronaldo for example.and a running coach. No joke, I bet there are Olympic coaches that could get him that extra yard back.

He’s shit.
If you don’t understand my anger, then maybe you lack passion. Probably need to work on that or you’ll just be content with a slug up top
yeah I get the feeling it very much runs like that. What I don't understand is why more science isn't put into practice. When you look at Tanguy it's obvious diet and fitness is impacting his game. I would love to know how their sports science department runs, and how tailored to each player it is.I would imagine that any sport that's literally awash with money will be full of scientific analysis. Whether it's actually put to maximum effect is moot.
In endurance sports like road cycling it's a huge factor because marginal gains make a big difference to performance which translates to sponsorship.
In football it's more likely that VO2 max and LT numbers are all captured and analysed and then:
Sports Science Dept: "You're numbers are 15% down Harry"
HK: " I can walk can't I?"
Sport Science Dept: "Good to go"
for sure but he was sharper and quicker.He has always run around like he does now, even 3 or 4 years ago when he was smashing them in for fun. Look at pics of him as a kid, look at videos of him breaking through into the first team, he has always been on the heavy side and never lean, mean and rapid like an Henry or Ronaldo for example.
Right now with Kane it's all about his mindset. That's what he needs to work on alongside working on moves on the training pitch with Conte.

Under Conte, Kane doesn't start the CL Final... not with fitness issues...Its not about getting fit, he needs to work with Conte on patterns of play and work on his movement and finishing.

Why? Because it’s Kane? Of course because it’s Kane…..you don’t mind people slagging off managers or Levy or Moura.Stop being a prat, it's embarrassing. Have a wank or something, you need to release all that pent up energy.

Just not Kane.
And that’s the problem with this club. We will see what Conte is really made of soon enough, a striker in January should be a priority.
A striker may be the priority but until we get to January I'd like to see all our players work smarter and harder and fully buy into Conte's training. Surely that's the best thing for the club? Yeah Kane needs to work his ass off in training, yes he at least needs to recapture that goalscoring ability he had. Whatever you think of Kane right now we don't have anyone better as back up and it's not like we can play without a centre forward because our other attackers are not very good at putting the ball in the back of the net. Bad recruitment is the reason for this.Why? Because it’s Kane? Of course because it’s Kane…..you don’t mind people slagging off managers or Levy or Moura.

I think we've already seen what Conte is made of... we need to see what the Players are made of under Conte!Why? Because it’s Kane? Of course because it’s Kane…..you don’t mind people slagging off managers or Levy or Moura.

If Conte doesn’t sign a striker or drop Kane at some point then my views of him will have to be readjustedI think we've already seen what Conte is made of... we need to see what the Players are made of under Conte!
Some players clearly downed tools for the last 2 managers (and the last days of Poch, lest we forget!) so who exactly is it the players will deem 'worthy' of working for? I'm genuinely interested!
Bottom 10 Massacre
Ah and the other top strikers are getting most of their goals against top ten teams?
Hmmm no Spurs are shit because of a declining squad and repeated transitional periods and the point blank refusal to give our striker competition over 7 years.''Spurs are shit because the fans rate Kane''
sammyspurs I think you've made your point and some people don't agree but the fans aren't the ones selecting the team, so go write a letter to Conte and tell him where he's going wrong.
Other top strikers ALSO score against big teams and in big gamesAh and the other top strikers are getting most of their goals against top ten teams?
Last season (only 12 PL matches ago) we had the most efficient striker in the PL, and you want him sacked lol
PS and our midfield was still shit last season as well as Jose defensive tactics and Kane still came out on top.
