This has been a poor start to the season for Harry Kane and it seems the striker is playing with his mind away from Tottenham.
Kane asked to be sold by the club in the summer transfer window, but the Lilywhites refused.
He was keen to join Manchester City, but Tottenham would not negotiate with the Premier League champions.
He has now remained at the club, perhaps against his wishes and his performances have been poor.
Tottenham made a bright start to this season with three wins from their opening three league matches, but they have lost their last two in the competition after being beaten 3-0 at home by Chelsea at the weekend.
One player who isn’t pulling his weight at the club this season is Kane and the Premier League Golden Boot holder is truly struggling.
Whoscored revealed via their Twitter handle that Liverpool defender, Joel Matip has made more touches in the opposition area than Kane in the league this season and here are some reactions from fans.
Because all he does is drop deep Spurs should of sold him

I don't know what Nuno is doing with kane, he spent the whole match running besides j5 and kova the whole match😳

That’s because Kane thinks he’s Iniesta and keeps dropping in the midfield leaving no one to pass up front

They should have allowed that guy join City, they aren't particularly rivals per say.

Kane has played deeper this season wierdly, reason for this stat.
Son is upfront with Kane behind him and even as far as in the DM position.
Man, are you talking about the games. Kane is next to PEH from the first whistle. Having the ability to do that as an individual does not mean you should do it all the time. He eliminated himself so early the opposing defenses are not feeling him all. This is a crazy talking point that does not make any sense. Him dropping deeper and deeper. Who is he going to pass to if the guys next to him and how long does it take him to get into the final third. Whew!!! You not talk about what is happening on the pitch.
Harry may be dropping deep because our midfield is so poor that may be the only way he is going to see the ball. Our full backs are giving him no service either. Santo is to blame, he is clearly clueless.
@Cali and Eastend I hope you both read this article and tell these fans they are blaming Kane for “abandoning his post”. What I see on the pitch is Kane upping his skillset, great, but using those tools too deep doesn’t benefit the team game to game by comparison if he gives us option as a striker. Kane right now is like Tanguy with all the tools but not putting in the shift and that is a problem. I never said he was the the problem in my comment from the article yesterday,I stated he exacerbates the mess. How appropriate for Bruce to publish this article talking about all that I said and am not even on Twitter?
Well I don’t trust anyone who says ‘should of’ or ‘per say’.
