Harry Kane MBE

[Briddo1882]

My thoughts exactly.

The fact that he didn't stand out as amazing at any one thing is what made me unsure as to whether he'd make it at the top level at all. He's not all that big, all that strong, he almost looks clumsy when he takes someone on - the ball invariably comes off the defender at some point in the move. He's not graceful on the ball like Alli, whilst he can score from distance he doesn't hit them like Eriksen, he's not blisteringly quick, etc etc.

Yet pretty much everything he does is effective. He is on target with a ridiculously high proportion of his shots, he keeps posting huge shot per game numbers and we all know about the rate at which he scores.

- not to mention rival fans hate him! They pick on the way he looks, the way he speaks, the fact that they think he is lucky, the fact we sing about him being one of our own etc. The fact of the matter is, he is a brilliant player and they all wish he played for them - but he doesn't, he's ours so fudge 'em!

Have to disagree with the points about Kane's shooting / finishing - it's 10/10 for me, especially taking into account that he's so two-footed. Really surprised to hear anyone say otherwise actually!

Was incredibly nonchalant last night with the chance to get his hat-trick. Get rid.

On the whole the best players really get the dogs abuse and that is as you say because the other teams want them

He is absolutely brilliant and is ours and will be ours for a long time

 

[markysimmo]

Really, what more do the doubters think he has to do to be labelled world class?

Play for a big club apparently well thats what Phil Neville said

Ridiculous the way he allowed that deflection to deny him his hat-trick.

So yeah, offer him plus £50m for Obama-yang.

 

[Whiffler]

To be fair, he had to leave Man U to find his level.

And will eventually find it in Accrington

fudge off you clam.

Phil is a bigger prat then is brother is.

This, fans of other clubs mostly always call the best players ( Ronaldo, Costa, etc, etc). It means little if you judge a player on his ability.

Just a little statistical snippet to support my claim:

'Over the past three seasons, a striker presented with Kane's chances would be expected to score around 44 goals. Excluding penalties, Kane has hit 63 goals, meaning he has outscored his expected goal tally by 19.

Since the start of the 2014/15 season across Europe's big five leagues, only Lionel Messi and Antoine Griezmann have outscored their xG total by a greater margin than Kane. And as recently as November 2014, Kane was still a Tottenham substitute.

It's been some rise, and the improvements in his game suggest he now right up there among the world's elite forwards. And if the past three seasons are anything to go by, he might just keep getting better.'

Agreed, I'd say his passing is 10/10, his awareness is 10/10, his leadership is 10/10 and his shooting and finishing is 11/10.

 

[NaijaSpurs]

29 goals in 2017, the same as Ronaldo

Slow donkey Arse reject one season wonder though, blud.

Amazing that Kane is the first English striker since Rooney in 2010 to score in 3 consecutive CL matches. Shows you the lack of quality among English strikers in Europe.

 

[billyiddo]

Probably the only English striker to play 3 consecutive games in CL since 2010...

Yeah, no-one really talks about that.

Two unerringly accurate left foot finishes midweek. That's pretty rare, even in top, top players to have that ability.

Who gives a fig about other English strikers in Europe? We've got Harry and he's doing us proud, that's all I care about.

He very rarely misses the target, he is just awesome

That is the payment for trying to put the ball in corners/under the bar and not giving the opponent's keeper any chances to save the ball.
A little bit upsetting stat but nothing to worry about.
