How Tottenham can learn from Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and beat Liverpool – but it could mean dropping Harry Kane

His side were toothless against bottom of the Premier League table Watford last weekend and a 5-0 win over Red Star Belgrade in the Champions League may have only papered over the cracks.

A 5-0 demolition sealed the Portuguese boss’ fate, although it should be remembered he had been forced to play with Etienne Capoue at centre-back and Kyle Naughton at left-back.

And if Tottenham are going to turn their form around the Argentine might want to take a leaf out of Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s book – but it might mean dropping superstar striker Harry Kane.
