people need to stop the crap that we are better without kane, his passing was immense tonight, i think we can def cope and sonny loves to rise to the challenge when his gone so we might be fine but no way are we better without him
I think many fans immediately had this "out for the season" reaction and I'm afraid we were right, gutted.
Correct other than I think he would have been as upset as Aguero at not scoring.
Becoming problematic for him and us though and as much as Son does step up or has to date, we have to recognise Kane's ankle is a problem that won't be going away.
Bittersweet victory, right?
I think it might be grade 3 ligament sprain - i.e a rupture. Hopefully no fracture or anything. Don't think there's any chance we'll see him again this season. Should be fine for the start of next though. Fortunately the home games plus Bournemouth away should be straightforward without him in the PL, gonna be very tough away to City in the CL and any games we play after that though.
4 home wins in the league against Huddersfield, Brighton, West Ham & Evertonnare all achievable without Harry. Huge win tonight but the home league games are still our bread and butter.
If the first XI battle like they did tonight from now until the end of the season we will be fine. Big loss but we can do this without our talisman
Time for our Dutch Talisman to step up then
Some might think that this would curtail his all round game but it's seriously getting to the point now where someone needs to sit him down and advise him to protect himself a bit more.
The amount of times he's after getting this exact same injury is crazy. The way he puts himself about for the team is great, but he leaves his ankles so open to being crunched and with the amount of shithouses in the Premier League they will gleefully take advantage of this.
possibly my favourite moment of the night
Harry is an absolutely world class player who is a complete footballer and makes everyone else around him better.
But we've often been better without him. I can't explain it, and I wouldn't bet on it happening again, every time he goes down I think "this is it, we'll go down the toilet", but it never seems to happen.
I will say that some of the worst we've played over the last few years is with a half-fit Kane rushing himself back, so let's hope that doesn't happen.
I think we were pretty fluid first half and thought we were going to score with Kane on the pitch. It was our game for the most part and Kane was tormenting their CBs. When Kane is fit, which I think he was just getting back into form, he makes our team as fluid as possible. His complete play is world class, something you never drop if ready and able. Which leads us to the rushing him back topic; a horrible idea executed multiple times now.
Done for the season means missing how many matches including champions league games?
I'm slowly learning Premier League.

He'll miss 3 half-quarters and a cheese burger
Starting to worry that this repetitive injury could prove to be a long term problem for him and even career threatening if he does it too many times.
Got to protect himself.
Having said that it was an impact injury. His ankle did roll but you never know it might just be sore and bruised.
As a few have said he’s got to protect himself. That injury reminds me a bit, bizarrely, of Gazza. Nothing area of the pitch, flew in a bit recklessly and has done himself. Very stupid injury to pick up.
