Ex-Spurs Player Harry Kane

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Kane didn't lead us to shit

We have almost the exact same team as last season

So... Kane has his best season ever and we finish 7th

But... when he's having his worst season ever, we're in the mix for top 4?

All he did was pump up his individual stats while only converting 13% of his non pen goals and deliver +0 goals above his xG

He's bang average
What will you say if we finish 8th this year?

Will that be Kanes fault aswell cos he had his worst ever season?
 
stick him in citys team or liverpools team and he would absolutely destroy goal records. reason being they actually create chances because they have competent players all over the pitch!
Non Pen Goals Since Last Season
Son: 24
Kane: 22

So Son would also be destroying goal records too? Son would be winning golden boots with City / Liverpool? Son's a better goal scorer than Kane.

Last season, Kane scored 3 more non pen goals than Son but needed double the amount of shots to do so.

This season, Son's scored 5 more non pen goals on less shots than Kane

Same team, same manager. Just more efficient and more goals.
 
Dreadful. Looked shattered.

We badly need a new CF to at least rotate him, and even more importantly challenge his place in the team.

If Kane continues to be shit and we continue to start him, AND we finish 8th this season, I'd say that Kane is a big part of the issue. Not the only issue, but a big part.

7th-8th place is another level of shit, especially a club of Tottenham's stature. So it can't be just one players fault if we finish there.

No chance we don't finish top 6 this season though.
 
every body need to stop with this kane and son foolishness they are top tier. However our midfielders cannot pass the ball quickly cannot protect the ball from opponents cannot beat a press and they dont take risk if lucas son harry dont pass to each other the ball they sure aint getting it. Do you know how many runs get turned down because they cannot pass the ball quickly how many times kane lucas son and reggie making good runs and get turned down it's quite shocking.
 
Better than 7th place because we wouldn't have played Harry Kane/Jose ball

We would have actually played a more dynamic style of football instead of just lobbing the ball into Kane and hope he makes something happen

We've won time and time again without Kane.

This season, he's offered nothing and we're in the mix for top 4. That should tell you how unimportant he is.

Been over this at least a dozen times - see below

Below is our PL results w/ and w/o Kane so it doesn't even include our run to the CL Final and our Cup wins without Kane starting. If you think I'm still being disingenuous, then I don't know what to tell you mate.

Your stats/chart means nothing. I repeat. When exactly did we win "time and again" without Kane
I dont think you understood what he said. That list shows all the games weve played without Kane . apparently 37 games and weve won 21 times So...'time and again' isnt wrong. 21 times is time and again. If anything those numbers show that we win slightly more points per game when he isnt playing. Doesnt take into account who we played and all that, but we are certainly not lost without Kane or need him to carry us.

How does that relate to your description of “Bang Average” you bell end?
xG relates to how many goals on average get scored from certain chances. And Kane was scoring at exactly the average rate. Of course he did other things too, but finishing wise, if he matches only the average, then its bang average.

Hope this helped. Having said that, I love Harry Kane, the guy and completely on his side for the summer thing. He is at an age where there arent many years left in his career and wants to win things and it aint happening at spurs. We should have let him go when he wanted to. (Would have been beneficial for all parties)

This is Kane even when he pops up with a goal.
This is how he plays every single week.

How many games do people need to fucking watch to know how Kane plays?

There’s is no more he can give, I have no idea what people are expecting to see when he plays?

This is where we’re at, so go ahead those of you who want to keep making excuses for 4 goals in 6 months, living off last season while point blank refusing to see any perspective outside of his goal tally.

Without goals Kane is nothing…..some of you laughed that off in September, are you still laughing?

“He passed the ball” isn’t the improvements I’m looking for.
This player can’t give us that and this club should have been ruthless.

But here we are, new manager same old licking of Kane’s balls. We’re building the club around a has been, it’s pathetic.

When Kane scores it’s because he’s amazing and has been carrying the team, not because of the service he gets

When he doesn’t score with exactly the same squad as last season, it’s because the team is not good enough

When he needs double the amount of shots to score 3 more goals than Son last season, it’s because he is so clever and has great movement that allows him to get shots off

These fanboys don’t even know they’re contradicting themselves

He’d score 45 goals a year at City though
