Wait, I thought he just won the golden boot with almost the same squad we had last season? Isn’t that what the morons were screaming about?

Errrrrr he scored last season in this team, with shit managers
This is the very last thing some of you have got left, simply because it can’t be proven otherwise yet
Logic says to me though that if Kane can’t look better than Ben Davies or Doherty, then he won’t offer much to any other team
Haaland or Lewandoski would score goals in this team. Even Son has double Kane’s goals and he’s been shit. Even Hojberg and Sanchez have pooped up with a couple.
I think that’s what you’ve got to look at, as opposed to the (sorry) ridiculous notion that somehow we have Kane 2017 trapped in a poor team.
Kane 2017 would still look good in this team.
Is this based on performances, goals or assists?
I’m not feeling any of them
It is based on observing those around him.
But remember, Levy should have taken the money.
Those around him aren’t the reason he’s missed 8 big chances in the PL though
We already went here the other day:
A situation where a player should reasonably be expected to score, usually in a one on one scenario or from very close range when the ball has a clear path to goal and there is low to moderate pressure on the shooter. Penalties are always considered big chances.
Every player misses chances but I also posted this:
Even Son, having a relatively subdued season has missed 7 but scored 8
Salah has missed 12 but scored 16
Jota missed 8 but scored 10
Mane missed 10 but scored 8
Vardy missed 5 but scored 9
Antonio missed 5 but scored 8
Kane has missed double the amount he’s scored: 4 goals 8 big chances missed.
This has absolutely nothing to do with his teammates.
Son, Lucas and Berg up front for 2nd leg
I’m feeling he’s better than the alternatives in the squad, so gets his place.
I should start by making it clear I'm not trying to defend Kane, but these types of stats (as you've acknowledged, in fairness) aren't necessarily that reliable.
If, for example, we take 'points-won-whilst-playing' as a reliable indicator of performance, you might be surprised to learn that Winks comes top, having won 64.7% of the points available. Next comes Lloris on 63.7, with Son, Kane & Dier (in that order) all in the 62—63% range.
I doubt, however, you'd find anyone here arguing Winks was our best player.
Definitely true. But if we are winning games at a similar rate when Kane is not playing as when he is playing, he wasnt 'carrying' us.
The alternatives are basically zero and unknown i terms of strikers
I’d happily have give Dane more time, subbed on here and there. Or what is the actual point in him?
No one laughed when we swapped Soldado and Ade for Kane, except a few Tim bashers, and they were silenced immediately.
Kane being better than “nobody because he’s got no competition” isn’t a glowing review
Son and lucas were as bad, in sons case worse. We basically had nothing upfront
The worst thing on Kane, for his continued admirers is that he is moving inexorably towards being another player.
If we were to be able to sign a very good striker, it's no longer the case at all that Kane would be numero uno.
The same applies for England, captain or not.

Lucas was essentially Kane's shadow all game. Wasn't on the right as much as he should have been, unless that was the instruction?
Nobody offered 100m for Kane.
city would of paid that
