Super Sunday on Sky?
Well, Spurs are in good form and it’s a chance to see how Dele Ali handles a pressure game.
I thought Harry Kane was playing OK even when he wasn’t scoring.
Tweeted that Kane is better than Batistuta at the same age.
And I wasn’t doing that to wind people up.
Once asked Martin Tyler if Batistuta was the best centre forward since Marco van Basten and Martin said, “His record says he is.”
Harry Kane played for England at a younger age than Keegan or Lineker.
He’s in a Tottenham side that wants to mix it up, to switch the ball around but also cross it and make longer passes. That’s my kind of football and new kid Dele Alli is my kind of midfielder, a guy who make things happen.
It’s this simple: Harry Kane’s an ordinary working class bloke who has made himself into an explosive football star and he’s fortunate to play in an energetic team that knows where to give him the ball. He has some clever players round him and gets some good crosses. Positionally, he’s pretty cute.
Mainly, though, Kane is a bang-bang centre forward who almost always shoots without looking where the goalkeeper is.
He does that because he knows the goal is 24 feet wide and he fancies his chances.
So he doesn’t worry about the keeper, just concentrates on hitting the ball cleanly with power and keeping it down.
