Why is that such a weird concept
The creativity needs to improve, but that doesn’t excuse Kane missing the chances he DID get
So….32 big chances created and joint 4th highest in PL
Why is this being skipped over and met with “funnies” byDeuterz as if it’s just something laughable when the real reason is you don’t really have a plausible explanation.
Kane has created 6 and missed 8 big chances.
So you could say the team has created 26 big chances, 11 have fallen to Kane and he’s scored 3 of them.
Can someone explain how the service was poor for those 8 big chances he missed?
By way of comparison Palace have created 28 big chances. Benteke has created 2, so amazingly 26 big chances that Benteke could have worked with.
Even more amazing is that he also missed 8 big chances…..it doesn’t stop there.
He has also 4 goals
Wait I’m not done……he also has 1 assist.
So from August to January, The only thing Kane has done more that Benteke is create 4 more big chances.
You're back to spectacularly missing the point and going off stats based on the worst period of form in his career. He looked terrible then, but recently has looked much better and has been finishing the 1 at best chance we give him a game. Vs Palace one chance one goal, same vs Southampton but disallowed for 'offside' and then against Watford it was 0 chances with 0.26xG in total so what do you expect?
In games where he was out of form/building back to his old self then sure, criticise his finishing all you like, it wasn't good enough. But we've seen more recently he's much sharper, but you'll still say he 'should score' in games like the Watford one where we create NOTHING for him.
Go on, name all big chance he's been missing in the last 3 league games.
I don’t do Xg, not my thing
The stats simply back up what I see on the pitch.
Kane missing too many sitters
Can you explain why this is happening……seeing as the supply argument is null and void regarding the chances he did get.
You keep saying he’s getting back etc etc but you’re clinging to an offside goal.
The fact is for every goal Kane has scored, there’s 2 big chances he’s fluffed
That’s not pot shots. That’s not good efforts, or just shots.
It’s 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.
That’s happened 8 times.
Explain once and for all how that is down to supply.
Not sure why you keep talking about chances he didn’t get, no ones blamed him for missing a chance that never happened.
I’m talking about the 8 sitters
Sure everything should improve if we want to win the league.
But only the top 3 are better at us than creating chances this season so far(after the watford game). But our attackers have been much worse at scoring from them. The likes of Westham, Leicester, Arsecunts have all created less than us but score much more. The problem isnt service, its the finishing (this season at least).
Yeah like this whole reply doesn't address anything I've said. I don't care if you're not in to xG .. you still can't name a single actual big chance he's missed in the last few league games. When presented with actual chances he has scored goals. All you can talk about is big chances missed when everyone could see he was out of form.
Kane looks a better played all round lately, finishing included. But he's had practically nothing to finish in any of the last 3 league games we've played. The stats show this, the eye test shows this, a blind man can see we aren't creating much for him .. or Son, for that matter.
(incoming shite about how he takes shots .. or misses big chances in games where everyone knows he was off his usual game)
I thought the one where watford gave the ball away was actually a pretty good chance. Slightly further than youd like but you'd expect Kane of old to score those.
That was a sitter by his standards. But those will start going in sooner or later more often than not.
That's the best example though, in any of those games. A chance which I think xG rated had down as about 0.15. It was outside the box and the defender closed it down well. Should he have hit the target? Yes .. but Kane of old missed plenty of chances like this. All strikers do, it's far from a clear one.
If that's the biggest miss your striker has over the last 3 games, then I hardly think we can accuse him of missing chances lately. In fact he's doing well to have the couple of goals he has from those matches, considering the service.
Of course I may be entirely wrong and even if we get back to giving him decent chances to score, he is still not right and misses them. In which case fair enough, criticise that .. his finishing at many points earlier in the season certainly wasn't good enough.
He missed a hat full against Liverpool
He missed a sitter against Watford
They all add up. To 8 missed sitters in fact and just 4 goals by January.
Why aren’t you addressing his poor finishing?
Does it offend you?
“When everyone could see he was out of form”?? Haha, then it was Nuno and the supply.
Now iits the supply again and outright denial he’s missed any big chances recently .
It is what it is. Why don’t you just click “funny” if you’re not going to address Kane’s finishing.
Once again, I’m not blaming him for missing chances that he didn’t get.
Yeah, the last game he missed chances in.
He didn't miss a sitter against Watford. He missed a low percentage chance by all the numbers. Your perception that it was a 'sitter' is factually incorrect. He hasn't missed a chance classified as 'big chance' in 3 90 minute games in a row.
Yes, you are. You're calling outside the box shots sitters, and expecting him to score in games where he has 0.25xG.
Also, I probably will go back to just clicking funny .. engaging with these arguments is tiresome. I asked you to name a big chance he's missed in the last 3 PL matches, and you can't. So keep going back months in the season to criticise him.
Another spanner in the works
Premier League Club Stats - Big Chances Created
View Big Chances Created played by Premier League clubs for 2018/19 and previous seasons, on the official website of the Premier League.
5th highest last season, one behind Chelsea
Kane scored 23 goals, it will be interesting to see how many directly contributed to points
Big chance is described by Opta
Have you read it?
That’s a sitter to normal folk, and the PL has him down as missing 8, one being v Watford
Imagine that feeling when admin move your posts from the Kane thread to randomAdmin can we make a new Harry Kane thread where cunts can't post in it, and just let the two or three dickheads with an agenda post in this one?
I have these wankers muted, and their ignored content ruins the flow, enjoyment and discussion in this one. I know I'm not alone.
Was it? Gonna need to see a source which shows the PL classed an outside the box shot as a big chance.
It was 0.15 xG at most. So you can keep calling it a sitter all you like, it won't make it one. He should've hit the target but that's it, if we're calling that a sitter then that word has lost all fucking meaning.
Well apparently none v Liverpool we’re sitters either so to you it doesn’t have a meaning at all.
For Kane at least.
You seem to be missing the point that Kane didn’t have to shoot from where he did had he excercised a little composure
You’re still clinging to the chances you think weren’t big chances and missing the 8 documented that were.
I don’t know why this is.
“Liking Kane a lot” isn’t a counter argument.
Yes please
I have these wankers muted, and their ignored content ruins the flow, enjoyment and discussion in this one. I know I'm not alone.
Uhhhhh yes they were. He missed at least one sitter vs Liverpool. None of his chances missed vs Liverpool are comparable to an outside the box shot vs Watford.
Every striker in world football shoots from there.
No because we've been over this and I've already said he was out of form EARLIER in the season and missing big chances .. hence why this is so tiresome.
My counter argument has been expressed multiple times, not repeating it again.
They’re weren’t earlier in the season, you’re just dismissing it.
How come his big chances missed has risen from 4-8 since Conte took over?
