Vincent Janssen's struggles at Tottenham -- he was left out of the squad for the third league match running for Saturday's 2-2 draw at Manchester City -- has left the club in a familiar position. Spurs are again fighting for the title with one trusted, traditional centre-forward in Harry Kane.
Last season, Kane scored 25 league goals, despite having no serious competition for his place, but Spurs can look back on 13 draws -- the joint-second most in the division -- and wonder what would have happened with another striker.
This season, Kane is still scoring -- he has 13 goals in 17 appearances -- but Spurs are getting more goals from the midfield, which could make the difference.
