    I'm sure he'll be fine. It's just a knock. Injured by one of your own fans.
    You're only playing Liverpool B anyway, so I'm sure Andy Lonergan would do a job, even if I thought he'd retired.

    I understand what he means, if you think of most top strikers you can point to an atribute they have, but with Kane he's not particularly pacy or powerful, isn't great at dribbling or beating players, and not really dominant in the air. All his best attributes seem to be more to do with attitude, reaction, awareness and judgement.

    His finishing is superb. His second goal the other day was textbook.

    didn't say I totally agreed with it, I said I understood where Mills was coming from.

    Yeah have to say if Harry Anderton has one stand out skill it would be his finishing and general goal scoring prowess.

    He scores when he gets chances more often than not.

    But he's not a glamorous player by any means, bit like a volvo, apart from the breaking down all the time bit:bandit:

    Hopefully he'll be ok. I'm expecting a loss anyway tbh, possibly a draw.

    We were literally out on our feet in Istanbul and we only had 72 hours before the Southampton game. Terrible preparation.

    His hold up play is superb...how he brings the midfielders into the attacks. That was one of Lukaku's problems...apart from a goal he offered nothing and that isn't enough for the modern striker.

    Kane's finishing is there for all to see. If there is one criticism it's that he lacks that turbo boost in him.
