In the last year or so, we have lost two talented free kick takers (FKT) in Trippier and Eriksen. The free kick stats for our team this year are very poor and I’ve noticed Kane seems to be taking a lot of them. Kane has a lot of strengths but his free kick is not one of them. The vast majority of the time he either hits the wall or it goes way over. I love seeing him put his hands to the mouth and probably thinking “SO CLOSE” when in reality, it was a million miles away. Two other FKT in our team I’ve noticed have been somewhat decent: Lo Celso and to a lesser extent, Dier. My opinion on FKT is that it should be like our penalty kick takers, we have 1 person designated for that role and if they’re playing, they take the shot. There’s a little bit more to FKT based on location but again, our team does not seem to have one.
Whats everyone’s thoughts and if someone can find the stats behind Kane’s FKT success, that would be great? I think I’ve only seen him score one....all those years ago
