    Jesus! If I have to express my disgust on all the feckers mis-performing tonight I'll be here til midnight. I don't have that energy. <laugh>
    As I said, none are playing well and none are getting any sort of service, but Kane looks disinterested. Opinions, right?

    Or...Kane's faultless cos he has scored a hell of a lot.

    I don't mind being disagreed with cos I ain't arrogant enough to assume I am always right but his record in big games is there ... and it don't stand up to scrutiny imo

    How can he deliver if he doesn’t get the ball?

    He hasn’t missed any chances in these big games but he’s never been supplied the ball either, somehow that’s his fault… I just don’t get it, I really don’t.

    I don’t think Kane is faultless and there have certainly been times when he’s ballsed up big moments in big games. For us and England. But I don’t think that first half was on him.

    So why do you never mention this about Son too? Son has scored the same amount of goals in finals as Kane has yet there’s nothing said about that.

    NDombele for Doherty, so that’s 433/4231

    But that’s my point, everyone’s underperformed yet it’s Kane singled out. There’s a clear a reason for it too.

    Werner replaces Havertz. Ndombele replaces Doherty. 4-3-3?

    Underperforming is generally 'playing ****' - even if they're putting in some effort. That's different to not showing any commitment.
    But at least this half has started a bit better.

    Unusually smart free kick from Kane who is usually dreadful from those situations. Backing on Kepa shifting to cover the wall

    Has Kane ever scored a free-kick for you? Never seen someone take so many and seemingly score so few (if any at all).

    Jorginho should've been penalised for that ****. Nowhere near back far enough.
    Obstructed the quick taking of it, then backed up to our mini-wall. Twat.

    Never said it's all his fault but here's an example....

    2002 ish FA Cup ... Liverpool completely outplayed by Arsenal...Owen turns the game on it's head to score twice out of nothing.

    There are plenty of other examples of a player doing this for their team.

    Kane has only turned up and pulled the team forward in the FA Cup semi final v Chelsea. That's once in 6 or 7 semi finals and 4 finals for England and Spurs.

    If he regularly did it I would not have had the arse with his attitude in the summer.
