Ex-Spurs Player Harry Kane

Yet multiple seasons under xG, including this one. Funny where you put the cut off point. Maybe time for you to accept Kane is having an off period but overall is excellent, just like Lewa was still good when he was a massive 11 below xG?
.. Purely because of a bad start to this season.
And yet he still scored a wonderful goal vs Mura, but you focus on losing the ball. None of our other players could score, not even world class Son who came on fresh vs tired, farmer legs.
I really don't care what Lewa did 4-5 years ago and I certainly don't care what Kane did in 2016/17. Just like I don't care what Eriksen, Dele, Dembele, Jan, and Toby did for us back then. Nice memories but it doesn't mean much going forward does it?
What I care about now is what the player is like now. So if we're trying to predict whether a player still has it or not, all we can really look at is how the player has been performing over the last 1, 2 MAYBE 3 seasons at most. Almost every advanced stat would tell you that Kane has been declining since the 18/19 season.
Lewa on the other hand has been improving over the last 2-3 years hence why he's getting as much priase as he's been getting. I don't think there were many Lewasexuals 4-5 years ago.
Kane has scored one goal against a shit club
Lewandoski has scored 14 goals against shit clubs then.
You saying Newcatsle are better than Leipzig means little to be honest
Now we're talking about his goals against Mura
It's really come down to this hasn't it
It's over for Kane
Kane's having a shit season .. so what? Stop pretending I'm saying he isn't. Doesn't change the fact overall Lewa has it far easier, and thrives more because of it.
Except I didn't say that, but I'd rather be playing as a striker for Bayern vs Leipzig than a striker for Spurs vs Newcastle.
Now we're talking about his goals against Mura
It's really come down to this hasn't it
It's over for Kane
Only one on our whole team who could manage it, if some of the others had that ability maybe we wouldn't be in this current situation.
Yeah it's over because of a bad season .. totally done, no coming back from this Kane!
What when he was banging in 20-30 league goals easily? Yeah no one rated him mate, nobody at all. Bayern picked him up on a laugh, should've looked at his xG models.
Lewandoski could walk into City, Chelsea or Liverpool and carry on at the level he’s at now, of that I have zero doubts
Kane could walk into Bayern and find himself benched after one game
No no no no noooooooooo no!
I advise you to stop
All the far better players who should play instead of Kane didn't though, did they?
I'm not saying it's a big boast, I'm saying he did it, no-one else did. Son made one run and that was it all game vs Mura.
Lewa wouldn't score nearly the same amount of goals in England for any of those teams. Not even close.
Well yeah, because they already have a world class striker who is better than Kane and settled at the club .. so what?
Kane is our only striker, so being in the right position to score against a postman isn’t really saying he’s better than anyone else in the team.
If Moura was playing striker for 90 minutes, he’d probably have scored a goal
He's having an atrocious season thus far. Last season he was above average, not great.
Last season he scored approximately the same number of goals he was expected to score
You could have put any average striker in there and they would have scored 23 goals
Imagine predicting that the golden boot winner would be the player that had the highest xG. Well... Kane had the highest xG last season so it makes sense that he won the golden boot because he received the best service
Course he would. Mr 0 goals 1 assist all season but apparently he's been one of our best attackers.
Funny how other wide players/inside forwards score a lot and nearly as much as strikers (or more so, in the case of Salah/Mane etc) but ours are expected to have the goal tallies of wide midfielders in a 4-4-2.
Just above average. What a fucking stupid thing to say.
What makes Lewandoski better than Kane to you then?
Imagine expecting the playing sitting closest to the goal to score a goal from 5 yards out against Mura
Then imagine a fan thinking this is something to boast about
All while forgetting that the player lost the ball 23 times against Uber drivers
I think he'd score more goals than Kane for the same team. Still nowhere near as many as he has for Bayern, though. He's also the more mobile, athletic player (far more so these days..) which is a big bonus, better in the air too, which is an area for a while I've been disappointed with Kane.
Moura doesn’t score many goals as a winger.
Never said otherwise.
I said, if he was playing striker for 90 minutes against Mura, he’d have scored a goal
What’s confusing you? Mane and Salah are 25 times the player Moura is, why is it weird?
