How can people blame Kane for wanting to play in the CL final? Really bizarre.

Don't think it's a case of blame. Just what is best for the team.
Stupidly premature to already be writing Kane off.
He’s had crap periods before at the start of seasons/after injury.
Our fans are turning more into gooners every week

He needs to do more than sit in the box and wait for the ball to come to him. He isn't making any movement for the ball, he just expects it to somehow magically appear at his feet.
That was one of Kanes best attributes - we defended from the front and our defensive record was absolutely incredible because of this. You can directly link Kanes work rate from the front and our defensive record. Didn't we have the best defence in the league at one point? Where has that gone?
He's 26. He should be entering his prime years, the fastest and strongest we've ever seen him and yet physically he seems to be regressing, an admission you yourself admit. If he is this broken at 26 that he has to change his entire play style I can't imagine what he will be like when he reaches 30. It doesn't fill me with hope.
We have said for the past two "He's tired, he's had a world cup, he's had tournaments over the summer" and now we've morphed that into "It's good for him, he shouldn't be wasting energy pressing". We've changed the narrative to a more comforting story.
It is Poch's problem then. Kane has always been the best professional, it is not like he would have a strop if he was dropped - of course he doesn't deserve to be.
Harry is still a god. Just frustrates that when he's not at the races we can't replace him with Lucas for 20 mins.
Who is writing him off?
He should be dropped and earn his place whilst recovering. I haven't seen anyone here saying we should sell him, but I guess that gets in the way of you earning easy internet points.
Oh he is also a very good defensive presence on corners and set pieces. Might have had the most clearances in the team. Also blocks with that Niles strike.
You just gotta love the way he helps out the team, piling on the pressure. Making it real difficult for Aresnal to keep possession. But hey, a good five mins into the second half he must be knackered.
Did you get lost on your way to Reddit? Who gives a shit
I mean, you seem to be the bloke making shite up for agrees, you tell me. Who is writing Kane off?
There’s plenty of “he’s not the same player”, “he’ll never be the Kane of old” sentiment in the past pages.
Who’s pissed in your cornflakes?
H had a good game today, his contribution to the team was important; made the goal and some vital defensive clearances. And I wouldn't want anyone else in the whole world to take our penalties.
In a way, I'm glad some people are writing him off, he will stuff those words down their throats at the end of the season. (Fingers crossed!)

Is that writing him off or just saying what many feel to be fact? Even his staunchest of defenders admit he no longer has the same work rate.
He's been my favourite Spurs player for the last 5 years, but he is wandering about like Samson after they cut his hair.
Nobody blames Kane for wanting to play. Any professional footballer would crawl on bloodied stumps across the touchline to get on the pitch of a CL final. He simply was not match fit for such an important game. I would have started with Moura and then hopefully second half when we were comfortably ahead put Harry on as a 20 min sub so that he could genuinely share in the victory celebrations.....but what do I know

Yeah, you've told us this a thousand times already, and no average performances from Lucas Moura whenever he starts seem to change your mind. Go rewatch the first 135 minutes the Ajax tie and try and tell us you think we wouldn't have done much better with Kane playing instead of Moura.
Not just me that's said it, many others on here feel the same way.
