They need to take him off and put him out of his misery. He's been abysmal today compared to what he was for so many years.

Seems to be a trend but players that have an explosive element to their game tend to decline quicker. Look at Scholes vs Gerrard or Terry vs Ferdinand. It’s why I think Kane will be the same quality till he is 36-38 as he has never had any explosive element to his game unlike Son who does. It’s almost the advantage of being slow, you learn a different way of playing and go on longer.

That's why it always makes me laugh when people insist Kane only has a couple of years left. He will score plenty of goals when he's 36 in a good team that creates chances. Maybe not at the very highest level then but will certainly still be effective enough. May even see him drop deeper and play as a ball playing midfielder in a few years time.

CR7 is like the one clear exception to this that I can think of. Because he's always had good speed to his game but just keeps going.

I’d probably take Kane at 38. I mean his game is jogging slowly deep and doing an amazing pass/through ball then jogging slowly into the box and doing an amazing finish. No explosiveness needed.

Ibrahimovic was still incredible near 40.

My prediction is that the next 10 years or so of football is going to see a lot more slower paced, controlled teams. At least among the bigger clubs. As they try to navigate the ever expanding fixture schedule without having their players literally explode from over playing.

The era of high tempo football being at the forefront is at an end.

100%.

Even if he’s past his best, he will end up at a Palace or Brighton and score 5-10 goals with pens etc. couple of decent seasons then mop up until he’s 38-40 with the record.
