HYS: Should Harry Kane play in the hole against Man United?
It has been a tough week for Harry Kane, widely mocked on social media for the lengths he went to to ensure Tottenham’s winning goal against Stoke was awarded to him.
And at half-time in Spurs’ match with Brighton, the frustration looked to continue as he had barely had a kick against Chris Hughton’s Seagulls.
Yet, just as he did at the interval in the win at Stamford Bridge against Chelsea, Mauricio Pochettino reshuffled his forward line at the break and Kane emerged for the second period playing in the number 10 position, just behind Son Heung-min, who led the line.
Kane’s all-round game means that he can play in the hole and he opened the scoring within minutes of the restart, before Spurs were pegged back to a 1-1 draw by Pascal Gross’ penalty.
That gives Pochettino a big decision to make ahead of this Saturday’s huge FA Cup semi-final clash against Manchester United at Wembley – does he deploy Kane as the number 10 from the start?
