Ex-Spurs Player Harry Kane

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

How? He still is incredibly slow when turning and has problems adjusting his body when the chances fall to him. A big reason why his finishing is poorer right now. Because by the time hes composed himself to have a shot, defenders/goalkeepers have already got in a good position to block it.

He's not quick or agile .. he's never been quick or agile, what Kane was everyone else watching over the years? He physically battled their defenders, came out on top a number of times, held the ball up well, on a few occasions actually burst past a defender and got a ball in.

Not every player has to be a pace merchant constantly looking for a run in behind. Kane playing the role of a more traditional CF helps Son who makes great runs which Kane always looks for. He pressed and harried today well, nothing wrong with him from a physical perspective unless you expect him to suddenly become a player he's NEVER been.
 
The narrative he's physically done though has been shot to bits.
Striker has 2 weeks off and runs slightly faster than he did for 30 minutes. Groundbreaking stuff.

He still looked very slow and lethargic for majority of the game

He still hasn't beat a man, created a shot for himself or dribbled passed a player

He simply finished a nice through ball from Ndombele - thought admittedly, he took it well

Oh its never been this bad. Maybe the decline has been slow enough that you have completely missed it. But look at the 16/17 Kane and this kane, theres a world of difference in their physical abilities. This kane has so much more trouble battling defenders, or keeping the ball when pressed.

Load of fucking nonsense, so carry on.
 
It's already an issue, but it's one I have faith he will recover from, just like I knew other parts of his game which have looked awful this season would come back, and they have. He's slowly but surely improving, all the hallmarks are there of a player who was in shit form, not one who is done at the top level.

We know we can finish, we saw it season after season for years, it's not in doubt because of half a bad season.

Eternal faith…I said 9 goals by May….will you give him another year

You said earlier he gave a 7 out of 10 performance and yet basically are now saying that other than a well taken goal, he was Woolwich Francis Jeffers...
 
What about what I said is nonsense?

Almost everything, he didn't look lethargic at all (pressed very well, battled their centre backs effectively) and did beat his man on more than one occasion. Also created a shot for himself? Did that numerous times, not just today but in previous matches too.

The only true thing was that he's slow .. which he is and always has been.
 
It's almost like NDomBadBoy feels sorry for his mate sammyspurs talking so much nonsense so he feels the need to have to share the burden in regards to Harry. A very strange duo.

Really? He beat a man/dribbled passed a defender and got a shot off in the PL? A shot that wasn't blocked? I'm not talking about a shot from 20-30 yards.
