Read the title then read this
1) Attempting to play beautiful football all the time as held Tottenham back. As much of we know but not as many of us would like to admit titles, trophies and success are built on defence and that is one thing that Tottenham have never prioritised.
2) Champions League football ruined Tottenham. It changed the fan mentality from that of if we do okay the season will be fine to top four is my everything. As great as the Champions League is many of our fans need to realise that we just aren't capable of achieving Champions League football yet. The stands at White Hart Lane are more aggressive towards the players and more forceful and we have lost our way of always trying to support the team. I blame this on the glitzy nights of Champions League
If Soldado had put in the performance like Kane on Saturday he would have slaughtered.
Kane was rubbish sorry judge the performance not the player.
Was he that bad? He was trying things and none came off but he was still trying. He certainly should have done better with the one on one chance but I can't remember many other time where he was given a clear opportunity (not created by himself) and massively fucked it up.
The shot that chadli blazed over the bar came about because of how tenacious Kane was as do a lot of our chances.
That chance came because he missed a chance.
Worked hard but nothing else.
Lost the ball and was greedy with impossible shots.
Maybe we are looking at things different ways. Even with some of the shots I can't recall others being in better positions and let's not forget that a number of his goals from last season came from similar pot shots.
Anyway I think the most important thing is that Kane needs support. If he finds himself in the number 10 position with the ball at his feet he needs someone to run ahead (N'Jie and Son) and if he makes the runs he needs someone capable of finding him (Eriksen). I look forward to seeing how he performs when the puzzle is complete and he isn't a one man team.
.... Oh the ironyLike I said judge the performance not the player.
This is a squad built to peak in about 3 years.
If any youngsters haven't been sold by then!
That's why I think this project is doomed to fail. Minute a big club comes sniffing, we will just sell. Can't build a team for the future if you don't keep players.

We will not sign a striker. And Kane will have a God awful season because of the weight he will have to carry.
I think you're right but I think Kane has earnt some leeway from the fans seeing as he did score over 30 goals last season.
