Harry Kane looks like he is on an “isolated island” while playing up front for Bayern Munich in their last two matches, a pundit argues.
Despite his incredible start to life at the German giants, Kane was unable to make the difference for his side, as they suffered back-to-back defeats in the Bundesliga and Champions League over the last week.
The England international managed one shot as his team went down 3-0 to Bayer Leverkusen at the weekend and then had four attempts in Wednesday’s 1-0 defeat at Lazio – he failed to hit the target in either match.
German journalist, Constantin Eckner, has leapt to the striker’s defence in the wake of his toothless displays, saying that he received no service from his team-mates and had no chance of impacting the matches.
Isolation
He said on BBC Radio 5 Live: “I don’t think it’s down to his individual performance.
“Bayern can play the ball around the backline but they aren’t getting the ball to him.
“He looks isolated on an island but if he doesn’t get fed any balls, how is he meant to do anything?
“Bayern have 60% possession but don’t really do anything with it and that’s not a great way to play”.
Kane has scored a whopping 24 goals and registered five assists in just 21 Bundesliga matches since joining Bayern from Tottenham last summer, adding four goals in seven Champions League matches.

However, their latest defeat leaves the German side in danger of crashing out of the title race in Germany, having slipped five points behind unbeaten Bayer Leverkusen.
Now, they have to overturn a 1-0 deficit when they host Lazio for the second-leg of their Champions League last-16 tie.
