I think so too. I haven't watched any Spurs games, so not sure how he's been playing. But he's a slow starter, who came to the team much later this season. Let's wait and see his numbers by December.
Also their new manager might be a factor as well.

They ended up getting 17 million for Eriksen. Could have gotten 60-80 if they'd sold him on the up.
Are the English team suffering mentally from that Final loss? Or is it fatigue? From a United perspective, Maguire and Shaw have not been at their best. Any idea on how the rest of the squad are doing this season?
He has done it for too long and under too many coaches for it to be their fault imo. Why would Poch suddenly ask him to drop deep when he had Dele and Eriksen in the side? Kane cannibalised their space, took away the out and through ball and killed their Spurs careers imo and he hasn’t stopped since.
Indeed I agree with you that a holding midfielder is a bigger need than a striker but I was a bit carried away by the fact that Haaland takes them to clear champions league favorites. Not gonna lie, my wanting to get Haaland is to stop them rather than for our need. Priorities lie elsewhere particularly in midfield and a tactician that can put it all together in my humble opinion.
I remember the game v Colombia when he was dropping so deep that he was taking the ball off the CBs and Sterling became England’s only out ball but since he can only chase a pass and not hold it up the Colombian defence nicked possession back time and time again.Their defence pushed up, outnumbered your midfield and bossed the entire second half plus extra time all thanks to Kane doing his Rooney impression.
This is the Kane we would have seen if he had signed for us under Ole. This is why I’ve always been against signing him for 100m +
We have dogde a bullet, he looks very slow glad we went for Ronnie instead.
Kane has been terrible, but it isn't easy performing in a dysfunctional team.
Tottenham should have sold him and re-invested the money in an aging squad.
Alright let's stop being ridiculous
Dele's form went down way earlier. And Eriksen wasn't pulling up trees in Italy prior to the unfortunate incident
There seems to be some sort of hangover. I don't think any England player has been near their best since the Euros. Obviously they had less recovery time and a few were carrying injuries but I think psychologically there may be some effect too.
That's the point I was making about Qatar World cup last week. Guys had about 4-5 weeks off and still feeling impact of euros in some way.
Now imagine England losing SF of World cup or even final on penalties and they're then being asked to then play again 6 days later when the xmas schedule starts for premier league, won't happen imo. Will obviously be the same for other countries aswell. It would make more sense to have two week break straight after world cup but won't happen due to how financially important xmas schedule is for English football.
Rice has started the season really well, Saka has been decent, Walker seems to be ok. Maybe you could argue that Kane, Shaw, Maguire etc played more games due to European comps last season and it's accumulated fatigue issues (not sure how many games Saka or Walker played last season though)
Phillips, Rice and Saka seems to be doing fine. Sterling and Sancho are not playing while Grealish has to adapt to a new environment. I think that while he's not been great he also has been a bit unlucky. On another day, yesterday he gets 2 goals and the game looks a lot different. I'm sure he will get back to it eventually but the realisation he f'ed up his big move is hitting him hard no matter the PR declarations he made.
Walker has been quite suspect in games. Mount has been quite suspect for Chelsea, Tuchel left him out of the starting line up against City. Saka, scored yesterday but hasn't had the impact but was a bit part player for England. Phillips with Leeds hasn't had the best starts this season. Looks like there is a hangover from players.
All his coaches? Jose, Southgate, Nuno...
Mason Mount has been off it this season too
Yes.
I don't see Kane deliberately ignoring tactical instructions to stay in the box. That would be a major red flag for a coach like Pep for example.

Eriksen was best Spurs player for years, Harry Kane was overlooked because of goals, and we are in an era where people is obsessed with statistics thanks to Cristiano and Messi goal output.But Eriksen was their best player for me.
That makes sense.
Because Spurs is stupid and Kane was stupid not to insist further too.
Jogging around collecting his pay waiting for January to roll around it seems..
Just silenced the critics, who were questioning his form, with an HAT-TRICK against NŠ Mura
Really?
Greatest Europa conference league player ever
He's finished, Pep has dodged another bullet.
Been garbage again.
Kane’s gonna get stripped of his MBE if he keeps this up.
I wonder if Neville still thinks he’s a saint.
I wonder if Conte is able to get the best out of him for a few months atleast -
Or he goes and buys another striker which makes Kane unhappy and then makes Levy unhappy or some sort of story line like that.

Sterling can't even game a game for example. There is quite a few
I don't buy that reasoning. As mentioned, players like Rice, Foden, Walker and Mount have been solid for their clubs this season.
For me the poorer performers have been grossly mismanaged by their clubs. Maguire and Shaw play under a clueless coach, and Kane has downed tools since being denied a move he desperately wanted in the summer.
He's back
San Marino's worst nightmare
He loves embarrassing a minnow 
He's going to end up England's all time goalscorer by a healthy distance.
King of running up scores on teams of part-time 5ft4 plumbers and accountants.
Utd might be getting a 5’ 4” manager soon
