Chelsea need their own Harry Kane, claims former Tottenham captain Michael Dawson
Harry Kane showed Chelsea exactly what theyre missing during Tottenhams 1-0 Carabao Cup victory on Tuesday night, according to Michael Dawson.The Spurs hitman gave his team a slender advantage in the two-legged semi-final after winning and converting a VAR-awarded penalty.Chelsea can consider themselves unlucky to be behind at the ties halfway stage after dominating for large spells, but they struggled to create clear-cut chances without a genuine centre-forward on the pitch.And Dawson, 35, criticised the use of Eden Hazard in a strikers role and highlighted Chelseas need for a Kane-like presence up top.2

His work rate, hes a leader. Hes got every goal in the book: right foot, left foot. Hes a target man. And thats something that I think Chelsea missed last night,” Dawson told the Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast.They missed a focal point. Im a big fan of [Olivier] Giroud, I know hes been criticised.But Hazard playing as a no. 9? Hes a world class player. I love him to bits the way he goes past players, he stops the ball and draws players away, they cant keep up with him.

But when hes playing as a no. 9, he comes off and the two centre-halves have no-one to mark.Then Giroud comes on and he [Hazard] goes past people and there are crosses coming in. It causes uncertainty.Chelsea have now failed to score in three of their last six games and the need for attacking reinforcements couldn’t be clearer.2
