Someone here was throwing about stats quite recently..... IIRC Eriksen would only get 2 or 3 FK goals per season.......

The fact that he's not means I 100% agree with you.
Hopefully Harvey White gets a decent loan in Jan and can break in to the first team in the future. He has loads of qualities that the team really needs like quality freekicks and corners. We've had a few midfielders break in to the first team in recent years but not really any technical players.
Dybala on a free let’s goooo
Lol@'coaching' free kicks, no wonder you stick to off topic Paddy.
This has done my head in for ages now. We are absolutely terrible at them and Kane is hopeless at them. 9 times out of 10 he just slams is straight into the wall
I wish they would ask questions like this to Conte in press conferences. Kane and Dier are not good at free kicks, Lo Celso's look like someone filled the ball with helium... How do we have not a one person who can hit the target with some pace? Ever since Eriksen stopped trying a few years ago we have been cursed...
Did anyone do anything involving an Indian burial ground??

It's pretty embarrassing and disrespectful to the rest of the squad that we are still letting Kane take free kicks. Unless he somehow bangs them in in training. The only possible explanation is that the rest of them are even worse but I'd find that amazing. You could go to League 2 and get better free kick takers than us.
It's like saying to the rest of the squad "He's our best player/highest earner so he gets to take free kicks even if he sucks at them." That's not how a TEAM is supposed to work.

Taking Kane off free kicks is the last piece of completely dismantling Harry Kane ball
We are almost there fellas... almost there

You said the average is 1 in 18. So someone good is scoring them at a higher rate and the worst ones like ours are almost never scoring. You dont need links for that mate.
Lucas took some free kicks in the EL last year and they were good. I think he even scored one. Not sure why he doesnt take them.I wish they would ask questions like this to Conte in press conferences.

Or even just let winks take it. Maybe thats his one skill that will finally be useful.
The club and Kane himself wants him to be breaking individual records and winning the Golden Boot.
We've centered our team around him for marketing, promotional purposes.
Next you'll be saying he didn't mean his Europa screamer from 40 yards.
I think out conversion rate will be considerably lower than that, unfortunately
I suspect it’s selfish from Kane. There is a chance he could score from a free kick so he wants to take them to add to his own goal tally. Our captain is our keeper so he can’t get involved in FK taking discussions. So Harry wins.
Hopefully Conte will address this on the training ground

Spot on. It’s obvious this is the reason. I think ENIC and Levy don’t mind either because Kane is the star player. More exposure to the star player means more money
Come on mate. We don’t have to turn every thread into an ENIC/Levy bashing thread. To suggest that Levy / Lewis get involved in selecting FK takers is, quite frankly, laughable.
