He's only scored 8 of themYeah, coz Kane's never scored a hat trick before..... Oh wait.

We're not comparing Moura to a fit Kane.Yeah, coz Kane's never scored a hat trick before when he's returning from an ankle injury
Agreed but if the managers are unwilling to tell him the truth, it is also a sore point. I am not happy that he started the match.
I have no doubt that Poch told him the truth. But I also have little doubt that Poch gives Harry an enormous amount of leeway to decide when he's fit and when he isn't - seems part of Poch's loyalty to him, and his approach in terms of encouraging belief that his players can beat the odds.
I agree, though - going forward Poch would benefit from being more stern in this area. A bit of short-term pain could mean a longer-term gain.
As for Southgate, I have no idea if he told Kane anything. The FA have a habit of calling up our players to play these utterly meaningless glorified friendlies on a regular basis, regardless of their condition. Winksy is the only exception to that - ironic, because the team could have done with him against the Dutch and the Swiss.
This is my point about Poch. It's all good being a coach/best friend/favourite uncle but the bottom line is his job is to manage. Start getting all Fergie on the situation when it comes to England, and when it comes to Tottenham ease Kane back into games. There's nothing wrong with starting on the bench, he could analyse the game, see a weakness in the defence and then exploit it when he comes on in the 70th for example.
Because they know. That’s how.Whoa! How do any of you know how Poch decides who will play? Or that Kane plays whenever he wants and nobody talks him down?

I should have known...Because they know. That’s how.
Sorry, maybe I was reading fast and interpreted your comment as indicating that Poch gets influenced by his relationship with a player.That's not what I said at all.

And slow.I think we need a fleet footed second striker to compliment Kane because I think he is evolving into the kind of striker Teddy used to be, intelligent on the ball could spot a pass good finisher when needed.
Still has some way to go to emulate Teddy in that respect.And slow.
Three more rushed-back-into-action-too-soon-when-not-fit(!) ankle rolls might speed up the slowing process.Still has some way to go to emulate Teddy in that respect.![]()
He scored twice in three outings last August but followed that with his worst season scoring-wise to date.First time in years he has had a proper rest.
Hopefully this season he actually gets going in August!
I thought Harry was looking a bit rotund in some of the pre-season photos so far, but uh nope, he's fudging shredded! Looks fit as. Good sign.
