Phenom, Rose and Dembele are also massive problems. They look a shadow of the players they were a couple of seasons ago.
I wonder if the amount of running the Spurs players do has started to take its toll on the team as well. They slower and less energetic than they used to.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Our pressing has been less prevalent than when Poch first arrived . We allow teams to play these days.
Not sure what happened !
Your players were so sloppy in possession today, especially in midfield. So thankful we never got Dier last year, he’s so pub.

Kane is not Aguero or a Mane type player . Unfortunately, he needs service and at the moment no one is creating enough for him. Son is a capable alternative and it’s best for Kane to get a rest.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Why do you feel the need for a lone striker when our attacking midfielders can do a good job of scoring between them? I'm willing to bet that if Kane is dropped we wills core more goals as we did pre season.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Agreed. Up top we lack movement and are not playing to Kanes strengths. Very slow build up, all too narrow and playing him as if he's a second striker. The lack of shots he's been having is astounding

Lost 2-1 to Chelsea at Wembley last season in a very similar game. No need to panic
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I agree there's no need to panic but Poch is relying too much on Kane and he seems blind(As a lot of you do) to his poor performances since quite a while.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
He's blind on a lot of things. Dier should have been hooked for lamela at HT
----------------------------------------------------------------------

and poch said (im sure ive said this before) after the man united game (for no reason whatsoever) that he'd be just as happy with u23 players instead of them.

The problem today was that despite playing a midfield diamond we got completely over run in midfield
Kane didn't get a good chance all game, part of that is his fault but at the same time when Trippier and Rose are taking 4 touches before crossing and we're creating nothing you can't really blame him
Anyone who thinks that llorente is the answer needs to to go to bed and think about what they've said
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Dier was avoiding the ball and doing anything today. Unacceptable performance. Dembele left alone at times against 3 of them in there. Winks and Eriksen too lightweight and don't have the positional sense to be playing deep midfield

A front five of Son, Lamela, Moura, Eriksen and Alli in whatever formation will do the job.

If Liverpool played how they can it would have been 6-0 today! Our CBs saved us at times, I'm sure Sandy will be on saying it would have been a 5-2 win with a bit to spare if Sanchez had started at the back for Toby.
Possibly Pochettino is aware that the players don’t have the fitness to keep pressing like they used to? That said, the team still covers a lot of ground over the course of a season, so I do think that’s contributing to the lethargy of a lot of the players - it’s not sustainable without continually refreshing the squad.
Funny the op is accusing people of being blind to Kane’s form yet is blind to the fundamental issues in midfield and full back.
Dropping Kane will not solve this problem. All strikers need support from the players behind them. If they don’t get it they’ll suffer, any other player in the squad in his place would look clueless playing up front today.
