Harry Kane MBE

I don't know I think we all massively appreciate him right now tbh. We know how good he is
Yet still there are some who insist that he's too greedy and should pass more often rather than shoot.

No, no and thrice no! The only reason he scores so many is precisely because he is greedy, that is among the most important attributes of a good striker.

Number of times I see other strikers attempting to 'do the right thing' by passing to a supposedly better-placed team mate only to see the ball greedily intercepted and hacked to safety.

So once again I say, keep shooting on sight Harry, that way we might just go on and win the League.

:rolleyes:
 
Morning stat alert

Not too bad for a donkey I wanted sold, after he hoofed in that own goal at Sunderland :oops:

Kane: 42 goals from 240 shots (5323 minutes) = 17.5% conv rate (127 mins per goal)
Aguero: 42 goals from 243 shots (4326 minutes) = 17.3% conv rate (103 mins per goal)
Costa: 31 goals from 136 shots (4104 minutes) = 22.8% conv rate (132 mins per goal)
Lukaku: 28 goals from 205 shots (5393 minutes) = 13.7% conv ratio (193 mins per goal)
Giroud: 26 goals from 164 shots (3866 minutes) = 15.9% conv rate (149 mins per goal)

And those stats don't show the half of it.

You don't see the other 4 tracking back to cover in defence, come back in to the midfield to receive the ball and work his ass off for the full 90 minutes.

Vardy?

Indeed...

Kane: 91 tackles, 34 interceptions, 62 blocks
Aguero: 68 tackles, 18 interceptions, 13 blocks
Costa: 47 tackles, 11 interceptions, 22 blocks
Lukaku: 34 tackles, 2 interceptions, 12 blocks
Giroud: 88 tackles, 16 interceptions, 37 blocks
Vardy: 84 tackles, 37 interceptions, 41 blocks

Kane was also ranked 11th in the league for distance covered, according to this article published last month.

Yeah I think Vardy probably wasn't included because he was fairly poor last year. If they were to put his stats up including last years, then he might not compare too favourably.
 
One season wonder.

The real question now that Kane has equaled last season's PL tally (which is probably a more difficult task than first season).

How good is Harry Kane? the numbers put him there with Aquero (who is to me a brilliant striker), but who would you compare him to legitimately at this point?
