It’s evident that Harry Kane’s value to Tottenham cannot be expressed in mere goals. The 26-year old is very much the essence of this Tottenham side, as “irreplaceable” is how Jose opted to describe our captain.
No two ways about it, Jose Mourinho feels absolutely stymied without the big man. At the risk of being perceived as using any excuse to drag Daniel Levy’s good name into proceedings, what is highlighted here our absolute fragility when even the surface is scratched by injury at Spurs.
As we saw in the Southampton game, anything less than our best XI instantly becomes a “mend and make do” situation, and one that saw Tottenham horribly flail under the lights at St Mary’s last Wednesday.
