No you don’t. You want him sold as well for whatever reason.
Battered Leicester team being almost the same Liverpool side which beat Liverpool last game and none of our other attackers (including Moura who you praise so much) did anything against, till Bergwijn conjured a miracle?
Also, he was OK against Watford and very good against Southampton. Neither were bad performances. He was poor in the first game vs Chelsea and good in the second.
Maybe, but he wouldn’t have had that assist, nor would his all round game have been as polished. And again, he was a couple of inches away from a header going in, and a player cleared his shot off the line.
16-17 Kane also had games where he got unlucky. This was Kane at his best I.e back to being the best centre forward in the premier league.
They were missing Evans, Vardy, Castagne, Harvey, Ndidi etc
So yes, battered
We were too but they were missing key players
He had performances ranging from 5/10 to 6/10 during those 4 games. Maybe one 7/10 performance. None of those games suggested that he was a top/elite striker.
You are very complimentary after every above average/decent game Kane has had since Newcastle but go on...
At the end of the day, this season he has 4 non pen goals, 8% goal conversion rate, and -3.2 goals under xG, 9 big chances missed etc. He's been among the worst strikers in the PL this year.
Good all around performance today?- yes
Wasteful today?- yes
Does an 8/10 performance mean Kane is back to being elite? -no
Can he keep putting in performances like this consistently? - we don't know. hopefully he’s more clinical though

As I said, if Conte wants to keep Kane and Kane does end up staying, we should sell Son and bring in a player like Maddison. I think he would just fit better into Conte's system and fill a void. Not taking anything away from Son.

1 hit the woodwork against Chelsea I believe.
But yeah.. I guess he's amazing at them in training.
Problem is, who else do you put on them?
Look at the starting 11 yesterday and tell me who you think would be better on freekicks specifically?
Winks?? Davies??
I agree though and make a comment every time before he takes one thinking I might jinx it in.. doesn't fucking work though.
Kane only takes free kicks because we basically have no one else. He didn't take them when Eriksen or Bale was here or even when Dier is playing.
Honestly, who should take them ahead of him in the 11 today? Winks?
I think the only player in the side who has ever scored outside the box in today's 11 is Moura and maybe Hojbjerg at Southampton. It's pathetic, but I'd still back Kane over the rest, at least he can strike the ball with technique. Maybe he'll get a deflected goal at some point.
Hopefully we sign someone at soon who can take one because it's exhausting. Almost rather the ref just play advantage anytime we get one near the box, more likely to score from open play.

Played some good passes, wiggled through beating players, very good assist, took his goal well - but overall I was pretty annoyed at how dreadful his finishing was.
We had 1 finisher on the pitch in the absence of Son, and wow he was letting us down to the point it pretty much cost us the game - bar a miracle.
I'm seeing some really heavy praise for Kane but honestly I think Leicester were awful flattering his performance massively - and yeah.. shouldn't be missing chances like he was gifted today, nor lashing possession over the bar form 30 yards out.
You would have to be a fool to expect much different against Chelsea from what he did in the previous 2 recent games.

is he back?
Hazard is 2 stone over weight and has been constantly injured since moving. Rarely healthy.
Ronaldo is a different animal and could adapt anywhere. It took him time to bed in too.
Give it a break will ye. Must be awful not to be able to enjoy a victory because kane played well. Fucks up your narrative
is he back?
Nope once again your wrong. Everyone has said kane should be off free kicks.
Sammyspurs???
Behave. People watch it, including myself, because the defending is comical and there's a ton of goals scored every week. Players are given so much time and space it's almost amusing.
Put any average striker in that Bayern side and he's scoring 30 goals a season.
All that xG talk and yet he is still retarded enough to believe Jimenez is better than Kane.
Ignore him. I tried so hard to humour him for a long time as, unlike sammyspurs, I thought there was a bit of hope with him. But he just comes out with daft things for attention. If more people ignored him he would go and troll on his Xbox instead after his daily wank over Raul.
