Striker-Harry Kane

Don’t make this one overly complicated. If every Tottenham player is healthy, there’s no question that Pochettino would deploy Harry Kane to lead the line.

I suppose there’s a small minority of fans who think Son Heung-Min should be the choice here due to his current form, but he just isn’t the classic striker that Kane can be. Even considering the struggles of the Englishman to start the campaign, he’s still going to waltz back into the starting XI once he’s fit.

Some might think that’s unfair given how well Son has produced in his absence, but that’s short-sighted thinking. Leaving a talent like Kane on the bench just doesn’t make any logical sense.

You can’t just forget about everything Kane has meant to the club over the last two seasons because of a rough patch of form. He deserves every benefit of the doubt our fan base can possibly provide. There’s absolutely no way he isn’t the choice to lead the line.
