Wow some of the team selections here are mind numbing.

We are playing Real Madrid at home in the damn Champions League!

They were embarrassed at the weekend as well as when they faced us. Sheesh we put out a weak team against west ham and lost 3-2. Can you imagine the resounding effect to our season if Madrid were to crush us 3/4/5? 3 losses on the bounce?

Full strength team, but with caution in application.

Strongest team available as 3 defeats on the trott will leave a huge dent on the players'confidence!

If Kane is 100% fit he plays. If he isn't he should not. Who decides? Medical staff and hopefully Harry is honest enough to let them know if he is not 100%.
Absolutely !!!! Of course we would all love him to start and it's obvious to anyone that he would have dreamed of playing in these games since he was a kid. As we discovered to our cost, sometimes Harry needs protecting from himself, Poch should have been more assertive and hauled him off 15 mins earlier in the Liverpool game, Harry's enthusiasm and commitment to the cause cannot be questioned and whilst we all love it, if we were as good as he was I'm sure we'd all be 99.99% tempted to declare ourselves fit for a game as big as this even though we knew deep down that we had a bit of a hamstring niggle.

Are we really and truly going to know whether he is not 100% fit. The medical staff and Poch have a really tough call here. They may even have to consider overruling him on this one for the greater good, if we gamble and he comes back too soon and he aggravates it even further he could be looking at 6-8 weeks on the sidelines and that would be disastrous !!!!

We are nothing without Kane and some people here say he shouldnt start even if he is fit? In a game vs Real Madrid? Really? A win could see us through to the next round, if BVB drop points again. He has to start if he is fit. Simple as that.

I agree that if fit he has to start, but it’s just plain wrong to suggest that we are nothing without him, and insulting to the many top class players who performed exceptionally well for 8 league games without him last season.

Kane as an unused sub please. That will do me fine. Cannot afford to lose him for a number of weeks. Not now we don't have Vinny.

Probably setting us up for a fall here, but does that squad list look pretty tame? I mean there are a lot of very good players on there, but...
To be honest, I think Modric and Ronaldo plus 9 players from The Coach & Horses would still be a threat.

Reckon Poch has got pulling Kane out of the England games very much in his mind.

These are friendlies right? No need to play him when he is on the mend and plenty of young kids to give a chance to. How about this Brewster kid that is on a run.

Yep. Completely bizarre. If we win tomorrow, it'll be our biggest win in the last 9 years. Laughable to suggest Kane shouldn't start if he's fit.
