Nice to see Kane on a goal scoring run. He has already scored 12 goals in total which is only 2 goals less than Adebayor's total of 14 goals last season. But Kane does has to score more league goals. Strikers are rated more by their goals in the league. So, hope Kane will score more goals in the league.
Earlier in the season, when Kane scored that unfortunate late own goal against Sunderland which cost us the win, me and my 10yo nephew called him a donkey. But now he hardly looks like one. Instead, he looks more and more like a striker with a great future. It remains to be seen if he can continue his current goal run and go on to be a top class striker.
And also in the local rag... hopefully all this good press doesn't go to his head!
Spurs star Kane: Why target for the season has changed - Tottenham Hotspur - Tottenham Journal
Must admit to having a low opinion of Kane after that clanger but he has really put in some good shifts in recent weeks and popped up with a few important goals. Although he could've scored a hat-trick yesterday if he'd got on the end of Lamela and Eriksen' low crosses (thankfully it wasn't as costly as Defoe' at the Etihad) but their understanding should improve with playing more games together at least.
He was the best attacking player on the pitch in the way he linked up with the forwards, held it up and was a constant problem for their centre halves. Should have scored a second and nearly set up another two goals.
Why would anyone think less of him for that own goal when it hit him when unsited? Very harsh.
Because they have to find something wrong with everyone who plays for Spurs looking for faults rather than the positives a player has.

I was one of his biggest critics and shuddered at the thought he might be picked as first choice in the league. But the fact is, he is scoring goals, working hard and creating chances for others. I still dont think he's the long term answer but i will happily admit that my criticism of him was unfair.
I didn't rate him when he first broke through. He looked weak and slow.
But he put on a load of bulk and that gave him the opportunity to show his intelligence
Now I think he's potentially the best English forward since Sheringham.

Has to keep working, and get better at finishing.
We and England don't need another striker who takes 4 chances to score 1 goal (and that's not being critical of Kane where he is, but more a view of what he needs to do to make the next step)

Are there any strikers that score better than 1 in 4, there can't be that many can there?
He's still learning the game and can only get better, wasn't Defoe something like a 1 in 7 or 8?
1 in 4 is Messi range. I think he probably just means 1 in every 4 good chances rather than just efforts on goal.
