Fair enough. I'm surprised that Kane would be negative (even if that includes free kicks) but if these figures are accurate (xG is a moving stat that can be calculated in many ways) then that is a huge difference.

When you just know you’re mate is gonna score!
Giving away the silly free kick that led to the goal seemed to spur him into life. He like the rest of the team were below average before that moment. 2 good games in a row now where goals and assists aside I'm watching him run more menacingly with the ball again and scaring people which we haven't seen much of from him this season.
The aggression in him that led to the corner that led to our first goal was palpable.
He swings in a delicious ball now too. It's clearly something that he's worked on because that used to be one of his weak points but now I'd say it's as good if not better currently than his shooting.
Having a bad season apparantely
Some trolls here dont care about the stats.
Classic son team man delighted for his teammates. Leader.
Fucking love him. Great player.
Streaky but when he hits the high notes he’s a demon.
Massively important that him and Kane stay focussed and in form.

His requirement to volunteer has been fulfilled.
Reminds me of when my managers force me to volunteer for certain tasks.
That is not fair.... Son himself creates that 1-on-1 space so the credit should fairly be given. Plus, most strikers can't even score at the rate Son does even in those situations.
100 shot goal difference is a lot mate no matter what the reason is and Kane wouldn't have those assists if Son wasn't such a clinical finisher.
When Kane scores it’s because of his ability and class alone. When Son scores, it’s because of Kane’s ability and class alone.
When we win without Kane and go to the Champions League final, it’s because of Kane’s ability and class alone.

Talk about twisting my words! At no point did I say that in fact:
So at no point did I say that Son’s outstanding clinical record was due to “Kane’s ability and class alone.” I just put pointed out that
Kane has been the main playmaker in the team (under Mourinho and Conte) creating great chances for others and I felt that taking the shots per goal stat on it’s own sounded like it was misleading. Once you provided your xG stats, I conceded your point agreeing
At no point have I tried to belittle Son’s achievements or attacked him. Son is class, I just take issue with you taking every opportunity in most threads to downplay Kane
(and I'm no Kane fanboy, my levels of love for him have not recovered since the summer and will not get to that level until, at a minimum, he signs a new deal with us - which may be never)
