Yeah I guess I expected too much from mr 5% goal conversion rate and -3 goals under xG
My fault
I forgot this is Kane we are talking about, and not a quality striker like Jiminez

You mean Mr 15.7% conversion rate, which was 0.7% less than Mo Salah and higher than Lionel Messi, Didier Drogba and Sergio Aguero's typical seasons.
I forgot you dont like being reminded that Kane provided 202 goals and assists in 221 starts, in response to you saying that Son got 49 in 55.
I've told you before: these corrections don't go away just because you ignore them, or post Redknapp emojis at them
I put them both on ignore a couple of weeks ago. !! The thread is better without them !!
There’s zero discussion for anyone trying to say those three sitters were difficult chances.See, this is the problem. You can't seem to argue the points people make so you misrepresent what they said.
What I said was: Kane had an open goal but the ball flew at his head at a speed and angle which gave him virtually no time to react except turn the ball towards the goal but not control the height. Had he been 6 inches taller it would have gone in, and had he been a foot shorter it would have flown over his head. The video you posted shows this quite clearly.
If you're looking for a reason why the others complain about the state of the thread: this is it.
There is no discussion here because all you're doing is ignoring legitimate arguments so that you can toss misrepresentations of them back and forth with NDBB and chuckle between yourselves.
It just means you’re in full denial
People keep saying “we can all see they were bad misses” then five seconds later “but it wasn’t a sitter!!!!”
Stop tripping over yourself to defend him, take a deep breath, step back and see it for what it is.
Finally pretending to put them on ignore after reading that we are undefeated in 28 of 37 games without Kane, winning 21 of them.
I have zero comeback for this so it’s best I pretend to ignore them
It’s toxic that Spurs aren’t as reliant on Kane as I thought they were and this is not good news, it’s just toxic. Poor poor Harry Kane
The only thing that won’t work under Conte is Kane playing week to week at full capacity
We either replace him or change everything to have him trundling about deep, like Jose and Nuno ball.
It’s no wonder we look no different under Conte unless we play like we did against Liverpool or 30 minutes against Vitesse
What was the difference?
A striker not in midfield
Well we can wave goodbye to that when he’s up on 5-6 games in a three or four week period
We’ve got 4 games coming up in the next 7 days, we either drop him for a couple or regress back to Nuno Ball

Yep. Already asking myself why I didn't do it weeks back. To be fair to him, NDomBadBoy isn't a bad poster. He just gets influenced by sammyspurs and what he posts in this thread for whatever reason, whuile constantly jerking himself off to xG.
Sadly, sammyspurs will consider it some sort of mental victory any time a member blocks him. But fuck him.
Exactly.
Or to put it another way - they are both on a windup.
Awwwww look at us, we’ve got the whole thread to ourselves now to discuss Kane as we’re ignoring the trolls
Let’s only talk about the trolls because talking about Kane bores me more than I thought it would

What’s actually winding you up though?
The fact we won won 21 , drew 7 and lost 9 of 37 games without Kane?
That’s 70pts and one game short of a season.
That’s
11 more points than last season with a game in hand…….
Does this wind you up?
Or the fact it really, really stunned you to find that out, and that’s why you and nobody else has addressed it?
Are you ashamed of our club for coping without Kane?
Yes, I think that’s it isn’t it
I could believe that. Conte is a manager to play for. City appear to be looking elsewhere. Nobody on this planet is going to pay 150m and never would. I wonder if there is a release clause?
They're tiresome, but let's not give them any more attention.
Kane certainly didn't look disinterested against Liverpool. He's a bit of a confidence player - he's just usually very confident. Hopefully Conte has given him that confidence back.
At the start of the season, his head wasn't there and this showed in his effort, or lack of. Under Conte the effort and application is back. That comes with the club actually showing ambition and appointing a world-class manager. Clearly he's now searching for form and confidence. Both of those things will come as he's too good a player for it not to. The fact that a few idiots are completely writing off a player that has scored as many as he has for us, and scored more goals in the Premier League than anyone else only last season, is pretty staggering.
The first half an hour or so of how he played against Liverpool is where he needs to be, both for himself and the team
Interesting to see what happenes, here.
Conte's seeing him amble around, close up.
Not sustainable.
Front players have to be on the same intense page and set the tone.
The better one's should also score a lot of goals every season, something which Kane has done every season for Donkey's years now.
He's just a #7seasonwonder
Sammy’s on ignore but I’m going to hijack the debate he’s having with someone else because it’s more interesting than anything I can think of
A 5 season wonder maybe. 18/19 and 19/20 he was okayish, not a wonder I'd say.
