No, i rate Son highly? Must be hard being a ‘Spurs’ fan and despising the key man.

No, i rate Son highly? Must be hard being a ‘Spurs’ fan and despising the key man.
If that translates to Harry Kane missing taking a free kick and not scoring yet again for the 8th year in a row then guilty.
No, rate Son highly
He had his first 8/10 performance (against a battered Leicester team) on the back of 2 very mediocre performances against Chelsea… and before that, subpar performances against Watford and Southampton. So it’s still wait and see.
And what is he back to? Like I said, if it were Kane of 2017, he’d have had a hat trick and put the game out of reach in the first half.
They were missing Evans, Vardy, Castagne, Harvey, Ndidi etcBattered 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?
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.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.
You are very complimentary after every above average/decent game Kane has had since Newcastle but go on...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.
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.No you don’t. You want him sold as well for whatever reason.
Can someone please stop letting Kane take free kicks.

Hazard is 2 stone over weight and has been constantly injured since moving. Rarely healthy.Your last point is irrelevant. The quality of the league is one of many factors that contribute to differences in performance when a player switches leagues.
Hazard has been shit since he moved to RM, even when he has been healthy. There are other top PL players that have been shit in their new leagues. Many players from other leagues have gotten to the PL and had immediate success, including CR7.
Give it a break will ye. Must be awful not to be able to enjoy a victory because kane played well. Fucks up your narrativeEhh Maddison matched him step for step on an inferior team
Definitely not as wasteful though or didn't have any big chances missed
Son scored 4 similar goals in one game last season
But it wasn't...
is he back?
Nope once again your wrong. Everyone has said kane should be off free kicks.This thread and post means you’re an Asian Woolwich fan
Sammyspurs???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.
I don’t disagree with you. I said the Bundesliga isn’t as far down as many on here claim. I didn’t say the Bundesliga has the same quality or close to the same quality as the PL.
No he didn't. Kane was the best player on the pitch and it wasn't even close. If you judge players purely by xG metrics or big chances missed, it's pointless even talking about it. He made his own chances and space because every time he picked the ball up he was a menace. He created the game winning goal with a better pass than anything Maddison (a playmaker) came close to coming up with.
Maddison wasn't beating defenders for fun all game, or dictating whilst also spearheading the attack, or manhandling defenders. And what does Son having a 10/10 game have to do with the fact Kane was brilliant today? These straws you're grasping at to hide the fact you and others claimed he was done are getting silly now.
It was a perfect modern CF performance. He was winning his aerial duels against two big, physical centre backs, he was so sharp on the turn all game, embarrassing Soyuncu for the goal. Oh, and he was the best passer of a football on the pitch when Leicester have two highly technical midfielders.
It's the best all round CF performance I've seen from any player this season. I'm not gonna let the fact a shot got cleared off the line and he hit the bar from a header change how good it was, if you wanna look at xG and big chances and decide from that, that's your choice. I'll just enjoy Kane being back to his absolute best and thank god we have him in the team.
