Got to talk about Kane. I’m sorry, but it’s the elephant in the room.
Now some people will straight away say: He was amazing. He is amazing. Nothing to say.
I get that he has masses of money in the proverbial bank with us as fans and I’m not slaaaging him off.
I’m just wondering why his form has dropped off a cliff.
He should have been sold in the summer and Levy knew the year before he wanted out. We should have bought a replacement in Jose’s summer tranny window. He doesn’t want to be at Spurs and I think that’s part of the problem and transferred to his form.
His game has changed a lot in the years he’s been in the team - he rarely scores from outside the box like he used to, he’s started to drop deep etc And it’s a real sign of his character that he has done so to stay at the top of his game.
I think the big money move ship has sailed now, which is bad for him and bad for Spurs. I think we’re stuck with each other now.
So do we think this is just a temporary blip and he’ll go on a run of scoring?
He will need such a huge turn around from where he currently is. You can tell yourself that a nice through-ball to Son against Brentford and a slightly improved performance against Norwich but you’re deluding yourself. Brighton away will be tough, then we’ve got Leicester, Liverpool and West Ham. If he hasn’t scored some big goals in those crunch matches I’ll be massively worried.
So I guess the question is: will he get it back? And if so how? Does the system suit him?
I think his form is a huge problem for Spurs as (ffs) we have no other striker and we need at least 12 league goals from him from Jan - May, and that is being very kind.
I just get the feeling he’s done at Spurs.
And to all the pearl-clutchers: I don’t hate Kane, I’m not having a go, I’m making observations on what I’ve em seen on tv and at live matches this season.

We need to go all out to buy Vlahovic....
Then decide if we play him up front with Kane.... or sell Kane.
If we sell Kane... then we’d need 2 strikers...
In other news we’ve drawn Morecame at home in the FA Cup...
Is it safe to play the Unwellers & rest the 1st team?

He has been playing well barring the goals, the goals will return though, and I reckon he has now come to terms with not getting a move to City.
I would not be surprised if we see him sign a new contract and he becomes a one club man, with Conte there is a real chance he can win some medals, providing Levy does his bit, time will tell on that front though.
We absolutely need another CF though, to rotate / compete with Kane.

Billy has just said everything I have to say on Kane...
will come good
Is playing well
been a bit unlucky
will stay with Spurs if Conte stays
And will become sunshine again.
Been scoring for country...admittedly against inferior opposition.
But...in Kane we believe

Oh yes...and we do need another CF!

Nor do I. Rarely makes the right pass, hold up play is 50/50, can’t score.

Kane's world class. Even when he's not in form and not at his best he's still influential, which should tell some fans all they need to know. We're lucky to have him. It won't be long until he gets back in the goals again.

He created the second goal yesterday, his good shot from range resulted in the corner from which Sanchez scored.
Also, who cares if Kane scores / plays well or not if we are winning games, the time to worry is if we are failing to pick up points and Kane`s PL goal drought continues, which it won`t.

I think he only scored the one goal that he has because he thought he was offside
