Harry Kane has been blasted by Graeme Souness for giving an exclusive interview to Sky Sports and not taking all of the blame for Spurs not being very good.
Kane spoke with Sky Sports before the game against Liverpool on Sunday, having helped inspire an important draw against Man Utd in midweek after trailing 2-0 at half-time.
The striker said that he and his teammates “came out fighting with desire and passion and a hunger to turn things around” in the second half in a comment which seemed to rile Souness.
“I’ll be as polite as I possibly can,” said the pundit before embarking on his rant.

“When you’re a professional football player, passion should be with you all the time. Desire should be with you all the time. It’s not a light switch, you can’t flick it on and off.
“Harry came across there as if he’d been media-trained, he knew what questions were coming and he knew how he was going to answer them, and maybe consulted someone in PR at Spurs.
“I know I’m a certain age and I know I’m from a different generation, but I find that so weak and… I played with players that, the most important thing in their lives, come Friday, was what was going to happen on the Saturday, and they went out there as if that was it – everything I do, everything I contribute to in life is on the next 90 minutes.
“These players today when they come on and they’re interviewed, they’re media-trained. The supporters don’t want to hear that. Passion and desire for 45 minutes against Man Utd? What about going back to the first game of the season in August? That’s when the passion and desire starts, and that’s when it’s with you throughout the season, and then at the end of the day if you’re a good player and a good team, you might win something.
“I’ll be as polite as I possibly can…” 😳

“But you don’t consistently let down supporters like this Spurs group of players have. They’ve let down managers, they’ve let down supporters and ultimately themselves and their own families.
“I feel embarrassed for him and that comment, and I’m a big fan of Harry Kane’s. But I think they’re all media-trained up to the hilt now and for me I find that very frustrating.”
