Great game as a lone striker.
He didn't play as lone striker in any way.

My point was, we aren't as desperate for a striker as some like to make out. I'd rather make do with what we have and sign the right striker in the summer than get the wrong one in now.
I thought it was quite clear, as it has been every time he's played there, that Chadli cannot play up front. I know he scored a nice goal but his performance was poor, and his tendency to refuse to challenge for headers despite height advantage and not attack the ball in the box will cost us against a proper full strength team. To me all tonight did was reinforce the need for another striker who actually knows how to play the position.
Brilliant when he starts useless when he come on off the bench think he just suits starting
He played very well, but Chadli played more up top than he did. Son did most of his best work tonight in his best position as a WF or support striker.
The fact we had to bring Kane on after 60 mins to make things stick up front shows that nothing has changed in as far as our need for another CF goes.
I disagree (partially). The reason we brought kane was cos we needed someone to come on and hold the ball up as leicester had finally decided to leave their own 6 yard box. I actually think the attacking unit was working fairly well up until that point, but just needed changing up (which worked well). In my opinion this showed that we do have a viable alternative to starting kane, even in some league games.
We would still be buggered if he got injured though.
He looked so sad on the bench at the end there.
Hard to think he's not picked up another injury, hope not but...
If we are going for top 3 or higher we really need a couple of attacking players to explode into form like Alli and Dembele did in the first half of the season.
If Son and Erksen bang in 10 goals plus between them from now to May we'll be cooking on gas.
