Completely respect your opinion but I'm not sure I saw it that way, I don't think he explicitly instructed players to rough up Kane in isolation, more that he would have instructed his players to compete physically overall. It's a pity Kane came off with what looks like a season-ending injury but the level of physical competition from City was nothing unusual. It's incredible how Fernandinho manages to put in so many niggly tackles in every game whilst escaping being sent off, and in fact that's a very impressive ability given the position he plays and how effective he is at stopping the opposition
Maybe you're right but I didn't notice our other players being on the receiving end of as many fouls as Kane was. Maybe that's just because he was going for every ball he could and wasn't shying away from contact, but it does seem very suspicious to me.
