I tagged you because it was literally the game we, you and me, were talking about. Game's happened and he had a quiet day. I tagged you because we were literally talking about it and I said "we'll see". Don't try to make it like I'm being petty or something.You seem to really want to talk about this Todd (but as I barely post here prehaps choose a more envolved playmate)It's really quite dull. Sammys gone so only a few really obsessed folk over focused on one players fluctuating form. I said and I maintain 'On his day' Kane can have a great game against anyone' he has against VVD in the past. He was instrumental to the goal. Ditto Salah had a quiet day against Emerson it does nothing to reverse the world class status of both those players(clue Emerson aint) this thread is repeatative and dull but if it engages you feel free.
To use "on his day" as a condition is questionable. If he plays poorly you can just say it wasn't his day over and over until he has a good one and then of course that's his day and be damned all those other games and observations. It's a platitudinous thing to say that allows you to continue to assert what you previously had without acknowledging confounding evidence.
And Kane has NEVER had a "great game" against Liverpool's VVD. When we were rolling and VVD played for Soton, yes. But not Liverpool's VVD which everyone would concede is a different animal.
