Jesus, wake up and check this thread and the low shot accuracy myth is still being peddled based on a single season when it was slightly lower than normal. It being low is based on one season where it dropped to 39%, which is barely even notable.

His career average in the league is 44%. That isn’t low, it’s normal. So far this season it is 53% and will probably end in the 40’s range.

It’s such a proven non existent point, baffling it’s still being used.

These stats surprise me. Every time I see Kane play he seems to need at least 3 misses at the start of the game before he zones in on the target - and when I'm in the ground I always expect to see several of his shots fly over my head before he finds the back of the net.
Not denying the veracity of your stats - who am I to poo poo statistics?!!! It's just that my gut feelings differ significantly from the numbers. I'm also not denying that he's an amazing footballer and an incredible goal scorer - because he's both of these things, the little Penis Snake.

He does love a few pot shots. I feel like most great centre forwards have at least a few shots to warm up, right?!

According to xG, he's quite good.

Use any data you want - saying Kane is nothing without goals - that IS the stupidest comment ever made on this forum .... congratulations.

I will use the data
Career assists are something like 2, 4, 7, 4, 2, 11.
Something like that.

You go ahead and take a 3 month period over the following 11 months as some kind of norm.

Funny how yesterday 24 games was a tiny sample size though, but 11 tells the whole story today

You are arguing with someone who only yesterday claimed the Dutch won the 94 WC

Yup - Don't use your eyes or pay any attention to the real world - Kane is nothing without goals - without question the most creative striker in the EPL and Sammy says - nothing without goals ...

and of course your data is wrong - so no surprise to anyone there - here are his career stats

Harry Kane - 341 games - 241 goals - 47 assists ..... so now you know.

We are of course discussing what has changed with Kane and by far the biggest change has been him playing more as a number 10 hence his 14 assists last season ... but you knew that being a fan right?

whilst a joke, for some I expect they are seeing him in new light which he has bought on himself. He is far from a shit player but people are quite right to be more critical of him now.

This is my reasoning. Harry is still one of our best players but after this summer I don't have limitless love for him or am willing to defend him from everything. I am keeping him on a short leash so to speak. The limitless adoration is something that he has to earn again.

I'd call you thick as pigshit but that would be harsh on the shit ....

I said "Obviously Cruyff and Messi are world class, but equally obviously even they couldn't drag their team over the line in two world cup finals" ... post #47,229

Somehow your limited brain read that and got "claimed the Dutch won the 94 WC" no wonder they don't let you have any sharp objects .... you're dangerously stupid.
