Kane: We need new ideas
Surprise element gone after last season
Tottenham striker Harry Kane believes that the team need to come up with some new ideas to unlock opposition defences.
The club have struggled for goals this season and are currently ten points behind leaders Chelsea in fifth place.
Kane believes that the surprise element that they had last year has gone and teams know what to expect when they play them.
"People didn't expect us to play so well last year, and press so high with such intensity," he said after Sunday’s 1-0 defeat to Manchester United at Old Trafford.
"Now teams are maybe dropping off a bit more, letting us have the ball - and we have to find different solutions to unlock the door.
"Manchester United made it difficult for us to play out from the back.
"They made us play more long balls than we are used to playing. That was their game plan, and it worked.
"All we can do is keep working on our game in training, working on different scenarios, and hopefully it will pay off. We have to keep fighting (in the title race). We have no other option.
"Last year, December and January were the months when we pushed forward, got good results and moved up the table.
"We have to do the same again and we feel we can beat anyone in this league."
