Where are you going?

Obviously no player is good in every match... so the best way to analyse a player is by looking at all of his performances?
And we have stats to do that, ie goals per game. Furthermore anyone who can understand football can see that beyond goals per game, his passing is phenomenal.

I haven’t said in every match though
I’ve said on numerous posts that I think Kane is at his best for at most 1/3 of a season, and good for 1/2 a season overall.

That means I think he’s average to poor for about half a season despite being able to contribute in some of those games.

This does not mean he should be peak for 60 games. But even at his best, he was still missing sitters between August and October when he started his season, three months behind everyone else.

But naaaah, not costly at all
 
The born-again mellow, Kumbaya-singing Sammy hasn't posted for a while, hope he's OK

Everything? Nope, not his consistency and ability to single handedly drag his team over the line in crunch matches.

We’ve never crossed that line with Kane in numerous semis, finals and title pushes.

Swap Kane for a prime Bale 2012, or Bergkamp, or Henry (spit) or Kluivertin the Leicester season though, I see a title in the cabinet.

You can put him up against Rashford and Bamford and a 50yr old Aguero if you want, that’s not how I judge world class

You're just here to troll, aren't you? You're as much of a Spurs fan as Piers Morgan is. I'm done.

Okay, provide some statistical evidence of this. 👍

There aren’t any charts that say “this week Kane baubled about and did fuck all”

I watched him down the years.
West Ham the other week was not a one off. It was the same level since Palace right up until Burnley

Can you provide the statical eveidence where Kane has dragged us to silverware?
Has he ever even scored in a semi final or final for us?

Yes there are actually, you could research and find out if he has more games where he didn't score at all compared to other strikers you said he was worse than such as Van Nistelrooy.

Van Nistelrooy, Aguero, Berbatov all played at some point for teams that were the best team in the country.
If Kane does what Berbatov does and walks out on us for the best team in the PL, he would win tonnes of trophies with Man City.

I watch games.
If you saw him in the CL final, you’d know

Why aren’t they objective?
Because I’m able to admit one of Spurs most important players can have bad games?

How is that even in your thought process when you’re the one who is pretending Kane doesn’t regularly put in a lame shift despite doing for about 14 of the last 16 games

Of course everyone can have bad games.
However, in his overall career, his goals per game ratio is better than other strikers you claimed he is inferior too.

So given those stats represent an aggregate of ALL of his games, it's up to you to provide evidence that this is negated by the fact he blanks in many games. I haven't looked it up, but given his better goal/game ratio, I suspect he blanks in fewer games than Van Nistelrooy, Berbatov etc.

I’ve not said Kane has poor numbers though, I’ve said he falls short because he has never dragged us over the line in key games, never scored in a semi or a final (I believe) or a crunch title challenge game or one that can solidify our place in the table at least, to go top or keep us there etc

And I’ve pointed to large inconsistencies over the seasons

Those players I’ve mentioned all had different skill sets or mentalities etc that I think would have us achieve things here in the last years we came so close where Kane couldn’t

Why is this so fucking controversial
