We laughed at the Liverpool fans for criticising the number of pens Kane scores - let’s not start doing the same
Why? I personally think penalties should be counted separately.
Ridiculous. Goals a goal.
Feel free to state your opinions but respect others' as well.
Difference is, one takes penalties, one doesn't. So you're not comparing apples to apples. It's not like Son couldn't finish a penalty.
If you're comparing Salah and Kane (both full time penalty takers), it'd be a different story.
Should tap ins be discounted? Easy 1-on-1s?
Should golazos get counted as two goals? Should Pele's count less because of the league he played in?
Goals are goals are goals are goals.
Field goals are field goals. Penalties are penalties.
...are gridiron
I'd love to see Harry stay with us till he's 35, smash every record into oblivion then go to American football to knock the field goals record for a season out of the park
That's why you look at things like goals above/under xG and goal conversion rate.
Statistically, Son is the best finisher in the Premier League over the last 2 seasons and it's not even close.
He's scored +11 more goals than he has been expected to score.
We are incredibly lucky to have one of the best goal scorers and/or most clinical finishers in the game.
I don't look at things like goals above/under xG and goal conversion rate.
The rest of your post was just noise.

Translation: I don't look at stats and numbers that don't make Kane look good. I will take not so subtle jabs at Son right now because I'm upset that Son leads Kane in goals.

Your translation is wrong. It's not even a translation, as I was speaking English. The linguistic term you're looking for is sub-text, the underlying meaning.
The sub-text of my post was simple. "You bore me beyond description. Fuck off".
Translation: Carlos Vinicius is world class because he scored 10 goals in 1000 mins last season for Spurs meaning he scored more goals per 90 mins than Kane. A goal is a goal.
Purple patch Son
Also Salah has had like 80+ shots whereas Son has had 50+
He is just a joy to watch when he's in top form
