'How's he meant to do anything?' - Bayern blasted for leaving Harry Kane 'isolated on an island' after costly defeats to Lazio and Bayer Leverkusen

Despite his incredible start to life at the German giants, Kane was unable to make the difference for his side as they suffered back to back defeats in the Bundesliga and Champions League over the last week. The England international managed one shot as his team went down 3-0 to Bayer Leverkusen at the weekend and then had four attempts in Wednesday's 1-0 defeat at Lazio - he failed to hit the target in either match.

German journalist Constantin Eckner has leapt to the striker's defence in the wake of his toothless displays, saying that he received no service from his team-mates and had no chance of impacting the matches.

He said on BBC Radio 5 Live: "I don't think it's down to his individual performance. Bayern can play the ball around the backline but they aren't getting the ball to him. He looks isolated on an island but if he doesn't get fed any balls, how is he meant to do anything? Bayern have 60% possession but don't really do anything with it and that's not a great way to play."

Kane has scored a whopping 24 goals and registered five assists in just 21 Bundesliga matches since joining Bayern from Tottenham last summer, adding four goals in seven Champions League matches. However, their latest defeat leaves the German side in danger of crashing out of the title race in Germany, having slipped five points behind unbeaten Bayer Leverkusen, while they have to overturn a 1-0 deficit when they host Lazio for the second-leg of their Champions League last-16 tie.

After failing to find the net in his last two games, Kane will hope to fire Bayern to an important victory when Thomas Tuchel's team take on Bochum in the Bundesliga on Sunday. That game will be followed by matches against RB Leipzig and Freiburg before they host Lazio on March 5.
