Spurs Front Line

Okay so I was told Lucas Moura and Harry Kane played today, and I saw some people on the field wearing their uniforms. Outside of that, not sure I saw much else here today. Combined they had 19 passes and three shots. Lucas had the best chance but pulled the ball wide off the post at 50’. The stats say Kane took two shots, today, I remember a looping header that was not going to work this week, not sure what the second was, maybe that ball off the back of his heal early?

I can say I saw Kane and Lucas fighting for a lot of headers, that either were too long, and Allison gobbled them up or were played in to no-one. Kind of hard to play a third man running when 8 of 11 players are within 10 yards of the midfield line. Without Dele, Son limited, and I guess Lamela limited Kane and Lucas alone never stood a chance against the Liverpool back four and a reliable keeper. Not sure Allison is more yet, he hasn’t been tested much to date.
