Very good debut given he's played very little this season.
I wouldn't mind seeing him on the right of a front three with Richi and Son.

Was decent enough but can’t hit a barn door with a banjo. I know he has to learn the system but that chance when he pulled it miles across the face of the goal was nothing to do with learning a system, it was gash.
I’m glad it’s a loan, finger crossed for him though, has a decent attitude

What is this with the banjos and the cow's arses and the barn doors?
FFS he is a footballer.
Pretty sure he prefers green grass to blueWhat is this with the banjos and the cow's arses and the barn doors?
FFS he is a footballer.
An assist on his debut. Not half fucking bad!
his actual football is clean, he moves really well too. just all falls apart when in front of goal, big ange should just tell him hes there to assist richy mainly. on occasions hes going to have to go for goal himself but worry about assists more than goals for now.
I think with the goal assist and that header for Richi that's probably his instructions.
Worked well!
He actually did get an assist today.
His debut.
Assist or a goal every game would be acceptable.
Even an assist every game would be fantastic.
If you take out his laughable 2 years at Chelsea then his xG is actually more than respectable, 95 from 159 in his first stint at Leipzig and 24 from 57 for Germany tells me that he can be lethal in front of goal when in form.
His "highlights" reel at Chelsea is hilarious but also paints a somewhat unfair picture of the guy. I think he can score a good amount of goals in this system.
Rushed his shooting needs to learn from son to curl them rather then swipe at them. Has good movement and felt he passed well to teammates tho
yea hes defo got a player in him. get him bang on finishing drills in training. the rest of his game is good. i think in an open game and on the break he could be out best wide player. hes a better footballer than son and johnson and is on their level in terms of speed.
Kane is all around better player but shooting and finishing Son is the best we have ever seen in a Spurs shirt, even better than Kane. I can even argue that he is one of the best ever to do it in the PL.
Personally I’m not sure who has a better shooting between the two. Son certainly has elite finishing, world class actually. His highlights reel is incredible. He’s been unfairly overlooked.
I think Kane is more clinical inside the box -usually accurate low shots while Son is more explosive , longer range and curl.
To me he seemed to fit in flawlessly. He positioning was spot on. Good control, touch and passing. After just a few days he was playing like he had been in the group for months. I can see us bringing him in permanently.
Depends on his finishing. Score 3 or 4 and settle everyone down then I'm with you - great options across the front line. Costs us points / games because he can't hit the target? Next.
I like him and he fits the shape. Thought he had a really good game yesterday - mostly without the ball - but it's only been a few days.
Shout "Levy Cheap Option" all you like but I see a player tailor made for our system
I thought he looked excellent. His sideways movement to create space is unreal. I think it was good that his first game was away, blow off a few cobwebs, and miss those shots that in front of a moaning home crowd could have had more of an effect on him. He has two weeks to gel with the team in training and hopefully get his radar working, which I’m pretty upbeat about. He’s in a supportive environment and has the example of someone like Richy to follow.
