da brdice: Kane has enjoyed a prolific first season at Bayern, scoring 24 goals in 21 Bundesliga games, but has failed to find the back of the net in his team's last two matches against Bayern Leverkusen and Lazio. Defeats in those fixtures have left Tuchel's side five points off the top of the table in the German top flight and needing a comeback in the second leg of their Champions League tie if they are to progress to the quarter-finals. Tuchel has admitted Kane is not happy with the current situation with his team-mates and says they must provide better service to the England international.

He told reporters: "Harry takes care of himself. He doesn't need me. He's not happy with the connection in games. Neither are we. I've rarely seen such a discrepancy between training and matches. The way he scores in training, the way he puts his chances away – it's incredible. It's world class. But then we rarely find him in matches. He acts like a captain. Everything's okay with him."

Both Tuchel and goalkeeper Manuel Neuer called on Bayern to provide more service to Kane ahead of the tie against Lazio but the England international struggled once again in the 1-0 defeat. Yet Tuchel is confident his team can turn things around. "It's a strange situation. The atmosphere is obviously a little gloomy, because we expected a reaction from ourselves," he added.
"That being said, we've only lost the first leg and aren't out of the Champions League just yet. We're all committed to turning things around. In my experience, it's only possible to do so on the training pitch, which is what we did yesterday. We'll give it our all in order to muster up the energy we need to reverse our fortunes."

Bayern will attempt to get back on track on Sunday against Bochum but could head into the match already eight points off the top if Leverkusen win at Heidenheim on Saturday. Yet Tuchel's side will be confident of a win having claimed victory in the reverse fixture by a 7-0 scoreline in September, with Kane bagging a hat-trick.
