2 in 2 is more than 1 in 10Oh no...... This team that hasn't mustered a shot on target for weeks now would be smashing them in for fun if it wasn't for Kane.... Just look at the massive 2 in 2 tally at the start of the season without him.
Imagine saying Luis Suarez is still the best striker in the world because of what he did from 2012-17.Waaaaaahhhhhhh why the cut off point???
Wahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Non Penalty Goal Contributions Since the Start of 18/19Take out the period when he scored shitloads of goals and the result is he didn’t score shitloads of goals.
Fucking geniuses we got on this board, we have.

Wait... so now we're not playing to Kane's strengths.
But I thought he won the Golden Boot and had Top Assists last season and his game has evolved into one that is a more complete/team player?
I thought he had his best season last season?
Why is the narrative of the Kane Cult changing.
He has been since 18/19 though

Right but what does that have anything to do with him having less goal contributions (goals + assists) than Son since the start of 18/19. It's not like Son has had a massive spike in goal contributions. Since his 2nd year, he's been more or less a ~20-22 goal contribution type of player.It has. He has a player changed due to ankle injuries. There are some aspects of his play I preferred before, but he's a more mature striker nowadays. He didn't score as much as his best seasons last campaign either, he got a lot of absolutely brilliant assists from some pinpoint passes which added to his contributions .. you know, during that period we actually had a game-plan?
I don't think he'll score 30+ in the league again, but his hold up play and passing ability has massively improved since he broke through.

Lucas Moura's hattrick was a fluke but Kane's 11 assists in 10 games wasn't
1 goal against Newcastle in the last 10 apps is "keeping that level up?"Amazing keeping that level up despite things crumbling around the pair of them isn't it.... Id' say we were lucky to have them BOTH.
11 assists in 10 games11 assist that at least 8 of which were virtual carbon copies of the same assist/goal/player combo.....
Yeh, absolutely nothing to do with how we'd been set up to play.......
........Just pure, unfathomable luck.
Not bad considering Sons a winger and actually gets subbed off in games sometimesBy a MASSIVE 2 goal contribution margin.
.......So much so that you're spinning bullshit about "fluke" to convince yourself it's a landslide.
So what you’re saying is that there can be no point where a regression happens and Kane can ONLY be judged in his entirety?
Did you use that method for Jose?
Or Dele?
Do you understand what “decline” means?

What?
We should sign Fernando Torres because of what he did from 2007-10. Are people forgetting how good he was then or did that just not happen? He was MUCH BETTER than Son.Exactly. Are these people all screaming for Dele in the team?
Or…….was there a point in his career where you could say “he was better before”
Hmmmm, and they actually believe what they’re saying.
Non Penalty Goal Contributions Since the Start of 18/19My bad.. I thought we were reflecting on his stats last season.... Actually, screw that.... WE WERE TALKING ABOUT HIS STATS LAST SEASON.
He's been shit this season.
No doubt you're gonna pretend that only and Sammy have ever said that next.
Oh my days did Airfixx really want to take out Sons 4 assists for that period and Kane’s 11?
