He, and son, look like they have no gas or petrol left on the tank and minimal oil in the crankshaft.another no show
Needs to stop dropping deep so often and buying into his own hype as a playmaker.
I know we don't have a creator to feed the strikers currently and Winks was a typical coward tonight, but Kane needs to stay forward mostly and do what he does best.
This is spot onBloke wants to score goals. Carry on with these flimflam tactics and he will want out.
He doesn’t seem to be a lack of passion player. He’s full out when he has the energy in him. As evidenced by how he plays. He looks out of fuel. And options. Today he had the ball deep several times with no attacking outlet.Dallied on the ball and lost possession 5 or 6 times today. Lack of passing options or just plain old knackered this was not his best game. Rest him v Fulham and give Vinicius a run out.
Yeah, but did you see how he sat with that blanket over his legs? He should never make the squad again for that. It’s his fault.Alli should have been in for Winks to take on the burden of creating goals. It's something Kane shouldn't have to burden himself with too often, unless it's creating goals for himself.

So what’s the answer?It's not him. I've seen this situation for about a month now in games - you all have, too. Ball goes into our box - we clear it. It falls to Hojbjerg or Winks or Sissoko, they slide a ball through to Kane who's deep in our half, facing our goal.
And then, nothing. He can't turn, because there's a player on him. He can't pass it left or right because he has only one runner beyond him, Son, and he's double marked. And he can't go anywhere because five of the opposition players are closing him down, converging on him like sharks because they know we have absolutely no other outlet.
And so he either -
1) gives the ball away and we retreat into our defensive shape,
2) gets fouled, wins a free kick, we give the ball away and retreat into our defensive shape, or
3) tries a pass to Sonny anyway, it gets intercepted and we retreat into our defensive shape.
Mercifully, once in a while it happens on the touchline and we get a throw in, which we give away and then retreat into our defensive shape.
He isn't helped by any of this absolute nonsense.
