Tottenham boss Postecoglou: We're NOT better without Kane

Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou has rubbished the suggestion that his team is better without Harry Kane.

Many pundits have pointed out that Spurs have been fluid and energetic up front this season.

While Postecoglou has gotten the best out of Son, Richarlison, and Dejan Kulusevski, he would much rather have Kane in there as well.

“I'm not into this commentary that we're a better team without Harry because the last game Harry played for us he did alright in our system when he scored four goals," Postecoglou told The Standard.

“We'd have been able to squeeze him in somewhere — and I'm being sarcastic there.

“But him not being there just allows us to bring different individuals into the team and they change the dynamic.

“While the way I want my teams to play has a clear structure, what I try to do is create a balanced squad where individuals can change the dynamics of it.

“Having Sonny as our No9 is different to having Harry or Richy [Richarlison] as our No9. Not having Harry there does change us as a team because we're using different individuals but if Harry was here the structure would be the same and we'd have the same fundamentals of trying to dominate the opposition and press the opposition."
