That isn't remotely how it works. His accuracy would also be higher than Sergio Aguero, Rooney or Van Persie in their pomp. All of them if you look back through old seasons were having MORE shots than Kane is now.
Calvert Lewin only takes shots when he feels he's capable of scoring. He doesn't drop as deep as Kane does, and he's specifically a penalty boxer striker whose top attribute is his aerial prowess. So he's taking less shots, and only shooting when he's directly in on goal.
Kane's shooting technique is miles ahead of DCL's. Anybody who has watched the two players for any extensive amount of time can see this.
Yeah, Aguero was a better striker than Kane. And one of the best big game forwards the league's ever seen. My argument isn't Kane>Aguero, it's simply that a player having a lot of shots and low accuracy % doesn't directly mean they're bad at shooting. It's all about looking at the situations they shoot from.
Again, I've said it a bunch. There are a lot of very valid criticisms of Harry Kane. He's not the model complete forward he gets portrayed as. But some of the arguments aimed at him are just straight up incorrect.
Criticise his low mobility, his unnecessarily dropping deep, his regular falling over and current inability to consistently win aerial duels all you like .. his shooting technique is exceptional and up there with the best in the game.
Yes it is.
He is more accurate than Kane with his shooting.
Kane having poor judgement and overestimating his ability (like taking free kicks when he’s fucking shit at it) doesn’t make him world class.
But let’s all hear how his dog shit set pieces are actually a sign of a quality taker, and how he’s better than Bale at it
Then he's more accurate than Van Persie, Aguero, Rooney, Drogba etc as well. If that's the hill you want to die on, so be it. I wonder how he's still stuck at Everton and couldn't buy a game for England, he seems fantastic.
And Kane is garbage at free kicks, and should never be on them. I don't think anybody in this thread would say he's good at them, so I dunno why you're making up an argument.
But those players made up for their shortcomings by winning multiple trophies for their clubs
Are you suggesting that if Kane had a 60% shot accuracy, he wouldn’t score more from the same amount of shots?
"Ended"
Fucking hell. I'm embarrassed for you.
Imagine thinking Kane hasn't been wold-class though. Absolutely bonkers, to put it politely. I'm sure you and NdomBadBoy are the same person.

I've been thinking this for some time.
Both use childish meme phrases like “ended” and “triggered”.
Both hate on Kane as if their lives depend on it.
Both are completely disrespectful asshats that have a primary goal of pissing off the majority of the board.
Both say “I am always right” and similar nonsense.
I could go on.
Even better, the day after NDomBadboy got called out for being Sammy, both accounts started responding to each other to try to hide it’s the same person.
What kind of loser makes multiple accounts on a message board and has a conversation with himself? Pathetic.
Good point, as anyone that actually has a clue about data and is unbiased will acknowledge. The guy you are responding to is absolutely hopeless and will just pick data that benefits his point while completely ignoring biases. Then claim he's right.
I’m embarrassed that you think a peak Zlatan, Van Perise or Drogba wouldn’t improve us because Kane can score against Brighton
No two posters who can show their thought process and a bunch of hysterical posters who’s argument for 10 pages has been
“He has a golden boot”
If you could win the argument you wouldnt need ignore, you’d simply post something that refutes the facts.
If Kane has scored regularly against top 6 in the last two seasons, just post it.
If he’s won stuff, just post it.
If more than 1 of his 32 goals last season was against a team that was top 6 while playing them, then post it.
If the vast majority wasn’t against the bottom 10 then post it
If anyone thinks Haaland wouldn’t improve us that’s fine, but then it’s definitely them that’s a deluded troll
Watched his on my phone on Monday. What I didn't see on there was the Kipsta shirt.
When the massive Nike deal we signed when we were on the rise expires, this might be the best Levy can get.
The best part of the whole bit was "the plan was to have 2% possession and score from the half way line"
Didn't claim that he did. It was an example of more context being needed for these stats. The fact that you don't have knowledge of that context but stick to your narrative is telling.
Who knows - you might be right but you have no way of knowing till you actually delve deeper into the statistics.
