Whist I seethe idiocy of dropping Harry, yesterday was proof he was coasting and doing the minimum under poch. His talent is clear ut his effort was not. Seems Harry wasn't that impressed with poch for a Long time. His drop in form was some time ago.

Wasn't there some ITK indicating Harry had told Levy that if Poch was still in charge at Christmas he would want out ? Or have I dreamt that up ?

I don't recall that. However I did ask a question to an itk who first spoke of poch losing the players (at the time it was announced as opinion). In his opinion when asked Kanes poor form was due to poch, his tactics, training and ways.

There was this little one yard pass he did to Son today that sums up how good a footballer he has. It was a one two but son had two players around him. As Kane got the ball back it looked impossible to give the return to son without it going to a Burnley player or being out of Son’s reach. Somehow he manage to play it back into Son’s stride with a little backspin or something. It was such a simple yet amazingly technical pass I couldn’t help but applaud. No chance of finding it without watching the whole of the second half again as it’s not something the cameras would have picked up on. It was a pass 90% of players in the league wouldn’t of been able to make.

Thought his pass to Sissoko was sublime as well. Not a lot of space or room for error, and didn't take the pace off the ball. Weaker foot also.

Kane is our best passer of the ball IMO. Ndombele or Lo Celso may yet prove to be better but Kane is an outstanding passer short or long.

I know the touch you're on about, yes it was sublime.

There was also this superb pass he made to Aurier early on. Shaped to hit it over the top to him, then drilled it low on the nearside of the full back for Aurier to run onto. Superb vision and accuracy. The sort of through ball that the likes of Laudrup and Jan Molby used to make.

This little pass was top draw though. Lots of players could play that to sissoko. The pass I’m on about was completely different class.

Kane is massively underrated when it comes to his passing. I’ve still got friends who say “great scorer but not much else” and I just look at them with complete contempt haha! The guy is an amazing footballer.

I went to the legends meal on Friday and it was Glenn Hoddle, Kevin Keegan and Sven Goran Eriksson and I had the chance to speak to Hoddle for 5 minutes and one of the things I asked was about Kane, and he said he is the most influential English player he has seen since Beckham.

Put him in my fantasy team before Bournemouth. 2 games no goals. Took him out, scores straight away. Don’t even know what I was thinking putting him in in the first place. Apologies!

On a different note, after that first goal I bet he thought “nobody is going to score a better goal than that today”. Then Sonny pops up!

He was my captain yesterday.

Believe!

Hopefully Jose will be trying to get him back to being the striker he was a couple of years ago. Picking the ball up and running at people, smashing them in from range , whilst maintaining his instincts.

He is so dangerous when he has runners going past him as it creates the space he needs to punish teams

Son showed similar quality with his lay-off for Dele's first goal against Bournemouth. A delicate, perfectly weighted first-time pass off an Alderweireld long ball.

Kane's first-time pass for Sissoko's goal yesterday was also made to look far easier than it was.

I honestly wasn’t sure if Son meant that lay off. If he did it was beautiful. His touch to Harry for the first goal yesterday was lovely too

Was worried about his ankle and wanted him pulled after his second goal, but in hindsight I'm glad Mourinho gave him a chance to run it off. The week's break should do him good.
