Without reading the replies I guess there's some hilarious replies that say no trophies etc..

Kane's goals are glossing over where he is as a player ATM.
Don't get me wrong, if a ball has to drop to anyone in the box i would want it to be him, but his general play is so off the pace ATM it's not even funny, average defenders are reacting first to things, he can't physically get into positions to hurt teams, his shots are being blocked more than ever (due to having to take extra time to take them as he is off the pace)
When he is fit, he can turn defenders and get away from them with his strong running or stand them up and cut it onto either foot shift and shoot, ATM at best in those situations he is getting fouled.
Just looks wrong to me, you can say he got the goals all you want, but the ball won't drop right to him in the box or double deflect in, every week.
I don't think it's manager instructions or that he's playing differently, i just think he can't physically do what he could up until last March. He looks exhausted almost from the first minute.
Gary Neville said when he was playing he had a spell where he didn't have a break for 2 seasons, and he hit the wall and his performances suffered, Harry has had three seasons without a break (barring injury)
Go back and watch one of his better performances from the first half of last season and see the difference (hell go back and watch a poor performance from the beginning of last season and see how his mobility is way off right now)
He is scoring goals as he is and always will be class, but he is a shadow of a fully fit Kane.
It’s not that easy, don’t you think other teams are trying to combat his threat so we are having to come up with new ways to play?
He is playing a different role at the moment because teams were coming to terms with how we were playing, my guess is after Christmas we will go back to having a more direct Kane. You can’t just keep playing the same way in this league, Kane is adapting, it’s the only way to move forward
Oh and it’s not been mentioned in here yet but guessing the Delph as captain news means Kane will hardly feature against USA, which is bloody great news
It's confirmed that he's not starting the USA match at least, but he'll probably play the second half and all 90 against Croatia.I bet he plays minutes in both games. Southgate won't be able to help himself.

Kane’s #9. Id think Rooney will start and be subbed off after 20-25’. Delph will get the band and give it to Kane when he comes on at some point in the 2nd halfRooney is coming on as a sub with the captains armband and no.10 shirt.

Fabian Delph will start the match as captain but will hand the armband to Rooney when the DC United striker comes on as a substitute in the second half.
And so it begins.
