Re: Harry Kane.
Not sure Saxo tbh, Shearer was a good player but so is Kane but Shearer was more powerful - they both have different attributes
Re: Harry Kane.
Yea Kane reacts slower than a rhino to chances and turns slower than an oil tanker.. He also has the body strength of a ballerina for a big guy..Vegas Claret wrote:Not sure Saxo tbh, Shearer was a good player but so is Kane but Shearer was more powerful - they both have different attributes

Re: Harry Kane.
He must have been told by Southgate to fall over any time a player comes near him, in order to win free kicks. He can't be like this all the time.

Re: Harry Kane.
They are different types in many ways. Kane IS a good player and will only get better with experiences like this WC. On another note I thought he was rather poor on Wednesday night and did next to nothing, especially after he missed the chance to put us 2 up. I felt that was one reason we struggled as the game wore on.

Re: Harry Kane.
He`s a fantastic player but MUST have been carrying an injury from the 2nd half onwards of the Colombia game. He has been the dictionary definition of `cumbersome` ever since. Incredible that the man I think should have been pulled off at half-time against Croatia is going to win the Golden Boot. The system didn`t help him either as it did nothing for him in open play.

Re: Harry Kane.
Interesting to see some of the comments on here because I thought I was alone in thinking he is a tad over-rated. He didn't impress me over-much at the WC and if he wins the Golden Boot it will be on 50% penalties. To be honest after we scored against Croatia we never really looked like scoring again and certainly not after half time. After we went behind I felt certain we were out. I don't know what happened at the HT team talk but it didn't work. Kane is a good player but despite 6 goals he wasn't at his best at all.
Just read this back and the phrase 'He didn't impress me over-much at the WC ' looks a bit dodgy, I haven't seen him in the toilets.....honest.

Re: Harry Kane.
I felt that Kane having a poor match overall and Trippier seemingly struggling physically after half time made the result on Wednesday increasingly inevitable. I was always hoping, but ultimately not surprised.
Re: Harry Kane.
There should have been more squad rotation. Rashford and vardy should have got more game time along with Rose. Young lads in their first tournament did very well but just burnt out at the end.

Re: Harry Kane.
I really hate this "attribute" in a player. If he stayed on his feet he'd be able to demonstrate his strength, physique and persistence. PLUS he'd have a lot more integrity. I think if you are always looking for the foul rather than trying to get past your man, you're going to be a lesser player than you might otherwsie. That's my theory.gtclaret wrote:He must have been told by Southgate to fall over any time a player comes near him, in order to win free kicks. He can't be like this all the time.

Re: Harry Kane.
I suppose there is also the argument that you are more likely to score from a penalty than if you are around the edge of the box. Perhaps that's why Sterling and Vardy always look to go down at the slightest contact.chekhov wrote:I really hate this "attribute" in a player.

Re: Harry Kane.
Kane is more like a lineker in that if he doesnt score he offers not much else. And his goals to chances ratio isnt as good as most top strikers (see his double miss Weds as evidence).
That said it wouod be foolish of anyone to bring off your top scorer who is your biggest goal threat. If Southgate brought him off amd we missed a penalty or lost on penalties he would have been slaughtered. You have to leave kane on even when he is having a bad game just im case. Tunisia was the prime example.
He will score more goals than Shearer. But I think Shearer offered more to the team.

Re: Harry Kane.
I sort of agree, but actually felt hat when Vardy was on the pitch in any match he looked out of this depth and was extremely ineffective. (imo) Rashford should definitely have had more time.karatekid wrote:There should have been more squad rotation. Rashford and vardy should have got more game time along with Rose.

Modern football, sadly, Chekhov. As long as the majority of goals come from deadballs it will continue. They are also glaring at the ref to get the card out. Shocking.chekhov wrote:Yes! And I think he demeans himself as a player by going down so easily.

The point about Harry Jane, is that falling over was his Only outfield contribution, Ashley has more than that. As I said he cannot be like this all the time. He looked awful in the World Cup
Re: Harry Kane.
But he's never played for Blackburn and isn't as dull as dishwater.
So I think he's better than Shearer

Re: Harry Kane.
You can't have seen him much for Spurs then. His game is pretty much looking out of it but popping up with goals when he looks invisible from the game. Plus, the service provided to him during this World Cup wasn't the best, apart from set pieces.gtclaret wrote:The point about Harry Jane, is that falling over was his Only outfield contribution, Ashley has more than that.

Re: Harry Kane.
I remember the praise our manager gave him after the game with Spurs at TM
His movement and awareness is fantastic
But seems to be a bit of a flop in August carnt score early season
But we nearly had him on loan his career as a top player is only about 3 seasons old
Wouldn't mined having him leading the line for us that's for sure

Ashley Barnes offers more than Harry Kane? 30 goals a season 3 years running, Englands top scorer at a world cup since day 1986 and will probably be our record scorer ever.
He is a phenomenal player. He does drift out of games no question. But many top strikers do. Most games he will pop up with a vital goal.
Re: Harry Kane.
In all honesty he's the highest goalscorer in WC thus far based on three penalties and no goals from open play in the three knockout phase. It's a bit misleading IMHO.
Re: Harry Kane.
Maybe so but it’s not like he missed a load of chances. Plus penalties still count as goals. Clearly wasn’t 100% fit throughout. The worrying thing is that he picks up a few niggling injuries. He carries his clubs expectations as well as Englands. He’ll be ****** by 28.ecc wrote:In all honesty he's the highest goalscorer in WC thus far based on three penalties and no goals from open play in the three knockout phase. It's a bit misleading IMHO.
Re: Harry Kane.
I was talking about hi performance in the World Cup. I said he can't be like this all the time. He would never score 30 goals a year playing like that. Also at Spurs he plays with players of much higher quality, as does Stirling.cricketfieldclarets wrote:Come on really?

He'll be going home with the golden boot,but when it really counted,quarter final onwards he offered little,most people rightly or wrongly will remember his miss against croatia,which ultimately proved pivotal.

Some things never change.
We get to a world cup semi for first time in 28 years and only 3rd time ever.
Progress further than the south american champions, european champions and further than anyone (france aside and now croatia) who has reached a final since 1966.
Have the golden boot winner.
And some moan.

Re: Harry Kane.
Short term memory pal. He was excellent the first two and half matches he played even if his goals were pens, fluke and tap in with 1 wonderful header but he did go off and we’ll never know why.gtclaret wrote:The point about Harry Jane, is that falling over was his Only outfield contribution, Ashley has more than that.

Re: Harry Kane.
Kane is a quality player, not sure we will see another English striker like Shearer though. I remember Shearer scoring in a friendly for England, I think Sheringham assisted it and he had nearly a third of the pitch to run into but instead chose to slam it in the top corner from miles out. Just the audacity and confidence that he could slam one in from 30 yards amazed me.
Re: Harry Kane.
That answered the point about his goal rally, if we played against Tunisia and Panama all the time, I am sure he would score goals. The quality of the Premji League is propt up by overseas talent whose first touch and technical quality is superior.. This is the case with the England players who look a lot better playing along side these players. With regard to Kane World Cup performance, I don't know if he was just following instructions, injured or just rank bad. I do not see his spurs performance, he must be better than that, just for the record, he was not excellent the first two games, it was just better than the following gamespiston broke wrote:Short term memory pal.

premier league, good player with decent service from the likes of tripps, at international level, he looked sluggish, knackered half the time, and nowhere near the world class tag some have pinned on him.He offered nothing against croatia.

Sorry but if another player took the penalties for England Kane would have scored three goals.
Graham Alexander scored 107 League goals but he wasn't in his respective teams to score goals.

You could easily flip the coin and say had he had more service, he'd have had 10 goals. You would say, "But he didn't". I can say, "But he still scored the penalties offered to him".
Re: Harry Kane.
I'm of a firm belief Kane's goalscoring will slow down. He ain't that good. I knew that before the world cup too.
I will acknowledge he's still currently England's best option upfront though.
