He's stat padding against Bundesliga, not Tacos and Lucas MouraIgnoring the virgin Woolwich fan here the a moment, 6 in 9 now for Kane this season. Not bad at all, all things considered, with his best obviously still yet to come once the team improves. Lewandowski has been stat padding his whole career in the Polish and German leagues to an extent, but fair fucks to him, if it was that easy then all strikers would have ridiculous records.

HAHAHAHAHAHA
He literally missed a couple sitters a few days ago against Woolwich....Can only score against the defence he’s facing with the right service… you put it on a plate against anyone and he’ll convert it… at least this proves he hasn’t lost his touch
What's with the personal attacks and abuse? Stick to football ya fanboy.What's with the caps? You're clearly nothing but a spotty, angry, pathetic 15 year old Woolwich fan troll.
Absolute clown. I'm gonna start calling you Pennywise.
He's a decent striker albeit a limited and overrated one.

Over the last three seasons, our record/results are meaningfully better when Kane is out of the line-up.
Of course, given he's a flat track bully, he'll perform against lesser opposition but overall, we're better off without him and our results/record has shown that to be the case.
The last time I checked (which admittedly, was a while ago) we had a lower PPG without Kane, and a higher loss rate in the league. As well as scoring less per game. Either way the sample size is too small without Kane, and there's no way you can reliably state we are better without him based on a handful of matches.
And he's a flat track bully who has scored against every team in the Premier League, and has one of the best goal to game ratios of any player in CL history. So all in all not too shabby.
Limited I can get on board with .. to an extent. He's a player who requires service as he lacks explosive acceleration, athleticism or dribbling ability, so can struggle to create his own goals aside from his elite shooting ability in and around the box. Getting space for those shots consistently is tricky as he isn't agile.
If the team is operating at a high enough level around him, he can be relied upon to score more goals than almost any striker in the world. But he needs that service in to him and without it he has a tendency to drop far too deep or be on the periphery of games.
The way you talk about him though, you'd think he was a Janssen who could score tap ins. It's over the top.
Really don't want to post this again but will do so in case the fanboys have forgotten already.

And minus SammySpurs we're probably down to 500. Ignoring the pair so this thread is very confusing reading at times

Kanes done a great job at replacing Vinny this season. Though he’s playing against lower level competition, I will give him credit for stepping in Vinnys role and delivering against Tacos and Lucas Moura

Wow, that’s not nice. Stick to football, not personal attack please. Many thanks.Because you're an absolute tosser. I shouldn't allow myself to get so wound up by an obvious troll that's on a wind up. A Woolwich fan. But fuck it. Prick.
