Tottenham’s 2-1 loss at Old Trafford wasn’t a result of anything that Harry Kane did or didn’t do, but the striker certainly didn’t have his best game and could have done more to help his side get the result they wanted. However, one thing he does that he shouldn’t be doing is taking free-kicks.
Campaign to permanently remove Harry Kane from free-kick duty.

The England captain may have burst into prominence back in 2014 when he scored a free-kick against Aston Villa for a 2-1 win, but even that effort was deflected one, and now it seems that he’s the man taking them when he pleases for Spurs, even in late 2019.
It was, unfortunately, the case again yesterday as the Spurs’ skipper stepped up and blasted a free-kick over the wall, over David De Gea and over the bar, leading to plenty of fans frustrated reactions on Twitter, as they don’t want to see him taking any more dead ball deliveries unless it’s from 12 yards.
Should Kane be taking free-kicks?
Yes
No

Give to Son

The fans are clearly in agreement that they don’t want to see any more of Kane’s free-kicks, and will hope to see Dele or Heung-Min Son step up in future.
