Liverpool fans may be a little biased – there is a Premier League clash with Tottenham Hotspur looming on the horizon after all – but they have a point.
Harry Kane probably needs to be stopped now before it is too late.
You know the move by now; a high ball plummets from the sky, Kane shifts his body into a defender as he jumps for the ball, the aforementioned defender flips in the air and crumples, off balance, onto the turf.
Gabriel Magalhaes was the latest victim on Sunday, during Arsenal’s 2-0 North London derby defeat to a Kane-inspired Tottenham Hotspur.
The same thing happened to Aaron Creswell recently and, against Brighton, the Spurs skipper somehow managed to coax a penalty out of Adam Lallana when, in reality, a Seagulls free-kick and a VAR check for dangerous play felt like the more appropriate response.
In the eyes of Everton legend Kevin Ratcliffe, it is only a matter of time before someone gets seriously hurt.
For Liverpool fans, the thought of a Mo Salah or a Sadio Mane thundering head-first into the Anfield surface during next week’s top-of-the-table clash doesn’t bare thinking about.
