Harry Kane

I couldn't be happier for Harry Kane or Jude Bellingham come to that. 

He has redefined and perfected that number 9 role in these days of front threes by being unmarkable, by spending more time deep than a 10 would and using the wide players as runners who are also bastards to mark especially for England. Jesus does it whenever I've seen him play for arsenal as well. Such an intelligent footballer and what an economical finisher, the amount of goals he has that 90% of footballers would either not have taken a pop at or the times he has done elite level keepers at their near post is incredible

I have always wanted Bayern to lose in Germany and Dortmund to win the title but since Harry Kane has shown up there i want them to win for England's brilliant Captain.

Same for me. Similar in Spain with Bellingham.
Usually would love seeing Bayern and Real Madrid losing, but their English players make me not mind them so much. 

Weird, because I never softened on Madrid when McManaman, Beckham, Owen or Woodgate played for them!
I think it’s the nature of the players. Kane is not just an incredible striker, he’s likeable too. And Bellingham seems mature beyond his years and has the potential to be an all time great.

I’m also watching Bayern and RM matches because of Kane and Bellingham. I’ve also just watched the highlights of Greenwood playing for Getafe in Spain. He does look a very good player and a shame that he made some serious wrong decisions otherwise his name would definitely be on the England team sheet.

Ultimately he's finally playing with players on his level (excluding Son from Spurs) and that must feel rewarding enough.

Oh come on now, so what you're saying is he'd rather be playing with Upamecano instead of Big Eric Dier, with the pace of a snail and the turning circle of a super tanker...

Erm...well this has aged well hahahahahahaha

All reeks of helping Harry Kane settle now he’s bought a house. Tbf 4m for Dier isn’t actually that bad business for Bayern.

Back to his normal business, scoring goals once again. Took until 91st minute tonight helping Bayern to a 3-0 win.

Lost 1-0

Bayern hadn’t not scored at home in the league for 4 years

If they had passed to Harry they might still have that record.

Musiala and Sane don’t seem to want to give him anything 

Genuinely gutted for him as it looks highly likely he wins nothing again...far too good a player (and person) to go through his career not winning.  Hopefully he breaks his duck with England.

Dont Bayern have history of trailing before the Winter Break and then manage to still win the title?

Bayern Munich lost at home to Werder Bremen. Now 7 points behind Leverkusen. 

The Kane curse in full effect 

Game in hand still, would still tip them to win it come the end of the season.

Torn between wanting Kane to win something and thinking it would be nice to see someone except Bayern win the league for once.

Really want this Leverkusen team to win the league this year. They’ve building towards this for a while and they probably won’t get another chance if the team is broken up this summer.

Bayern & Kane will win the Bundesliga next season if they don’t win it this, much less likely for Leverkusen.

Xabi Alonso will definitely go on to better things... Real Madrid or Liverpool one day?

Pretty sure he has a release clause for both.

Bayern play away to Leverkusen in 3 weeks time, if they lose that and with how this Leverkusen team are playing (25 wins and 3 draws in all comps this season) it'll be very difficult for Bayern to pull it back.

Having said that Leverkusen are notorious bottlers and have never won the Bundesliga. In 2000 they needed a draw on the last day to win the league and lost, and in 2002 they were on for a treble but blew a 5 point lead with 3 games to go, lost the German cup final and then lost the champions league final as well.

“Neverkusen”!

Huge game this Saturday, 5.30 kick off.

Leverkusen v Bayern.

If Bayern win they go top, if Leverkusen win they'll be 5 points clear.

Leverkusen are unbeaten in all of their 30 games this season.

He has fully Spursed Bayern. Impressive. 

Leverkusen looked very good. Bayern had the bulk of the possession but did nothing with it.

Possession - 38-62
Shots - 14-8
On target - 8-1

Leverkusen now just 2 games away from breaking Bayern's record for Germany's longest unbeaten run in all competitions.

Liverpool need to be doing whatever they can to get Alonso in this summer. I can also see this Leverkusen side being like the old Porto and Monaco sides who got broken up when the bigger clubs came calling so it'd probably be a good time for Alonso to go.

Bayern currently 3-1 down at struggling Bochum and are 8 points behind Leverkusen. A lot of ground to make up on a side that hasn't lost all season.

Tuchel will be under serious pressure now.
