Tuchel's goal... find a system if Kane is out

LIONS LACKING BITE IF HARRY IS STRUGGLING

FAMOUSLY, in late 2017, Pep Guardiola referred to Tottenham Hotspur as the 'Harry Kane team'.

And to many, there is still a 'Harry Kane team' - only it is not Spurs. It is England.

Kane has 105 caps and 71 goals and loves a landmark. Make no mistake, he has Peter Shilton's record number of 125 caps AND a century of international goals in his sights.

Assuming he stays fit, Kane will get plenty more caps and goals under Thomas Tuchel.

After all, in the season they worked together at Bayern Munich, Kane scored 44 in 45 games for Tuchel.

And considering the German coach will be gone in just over a year's time, Tuchel has no compulsion to find a long-term successor to Kane.

But if he is worth his £5million annual salary, what Tuchel does have is an obligation to identify a system and players that can be threatening and prolific in Kane's absence.
