Fatigue is a factor for Kane
Harry Kane didn't get on the scoresheet against Everton at the weekend, indeed he hasn't got on the scoresheet yet this season, which some are amazingly calling a drought.
They were asking questions after two games, it's quite bizarre how the media complain when there isn't instant success, but profess that football chairman shouldn't sack managers who don't provide instant success. Make you mind up.
Every striker in the history of the game goes games without scoring, but the press are making a big issue out of it as if it's a huge problem, it isn't. However, talking about it as if it is creates it's own pressure and causes it's own problems, not that the media would admit to ever having played a part in a players demise, and I'm thinking Paul Robinson here.
A top goalkeeper he was crucified by the press constantly because a ball bounced off a divot over his foot, to be honest, it was one of those things, it happens once a career, it doesn't suddenly make a goalkeeper useless. The press destroyed him, destroyed his confidence and quite frankly ruined his career.
Harry Kane hasn't scored in the four games this season, so what, on Match of the Day they produced the stat he had only scored two in 11 since his England debut, they want to find an angle to make a mountain out of a molehill.
No player can play constantly, they need periods of rest. Tottenham players were involved in tournaments over the summer and I wrote back in May that we would be missing six of them for the start of the season, Harry Kane, Erik Lamela, Tom Carroll, Alex Pritchard, DeAndre Yedlin and the sixth Eric Dier wasn't selected for the European Under-21 Championships in the end.
6 Spurs players to miss the start of next season
Yedlin is on loan at Sunderland, Pritchard has been injured, Carroll isn't a starter, Lamela didn't look fit and Kan looked tired. It was essential these players had time off and their pre-season would have been started later than everyone else. While a player's fitness doesn't change too much a break still makes a difference, the batteries need re-charging and perhaps not enough attention has been paid to Kane's predicament. It certainly seems with hindsight that the point the article was making has been borne out.
He has had to play, in my view, without sufficient summer rest and we are seeing a slow start to the season as a result. The players have been building their fitness during games and while I don't see goalscoring as a problem for Kane I do see fatigue as being an issue later in the season, he is going to have to be carefully managed and kept away from the UEFA Europa League.
