Big Sam, Rooney, and Kane are hopefully not discussing Kane taking more corners

Kane was another England star who struggled to replicate the form in the Euro’s that saw him finish the Premier League with the golden boot last season. His quality finishing and ruthlessness infront of goal during Tottenham’s campaign had the majority of England fans excited at what could happen this summer, but sadly it wasn’t to be.

The new Premier League season has also started slowly for the Spurs striker. Despite starting all three games, he’s yet to get off the mark. So what can Sam Allardyce do for the young marksman?

Firstly, the England manager will make him his number 9. The target-man whom others will play off and a role that suits him. He will also prefer to play with others close to him. Rooney and Kane’s team-mate Delli Ali will be the main protagonists of a close front 3 and Kane and Ali’s understanding that they have already cultivated at Spurs will be something Allardyce will be keen to take advantage of.

Secondly, the manager will be able to mentally coach him through games. In complete contrast to previous incumbent Roy Hodgson, Allardyce will regularly shout instructions to his players and this will assist Kane to handle the pressures of the big occasion.
