Tottenham forward Harry Kane continued his quietly impressive start to the new season with another goal at Brighton on Saturday and declared there is a “long way to go” in the race for the Premier League Golden Boot.

Well good on him etc. But all being equal, and even with Kane being on course for a 30+ PL season, he's still likely to be 20 goals short.

i know it sounds strange given he's scored 8 in 9 but his finishing hasn't actually been particularly good so far this season. pretty much all of his goals have been headers or from the spot, the few chances he's had on the deck he's not taken.

Admirable goal but like our odds to win the league, a place in the top 4 sounds like the most probable outcome.

I mentioned this the other day. Only 1 goal so far has been a shot from range and that still wasn't hit too cleanly.

He's not actually taking that many shots but the ones he has are npt being hit in a typical Kane manner.

The same with his passing. He's overhitting many passes.

If he'd been closer to his level of the end of last season and Jose era, I think we would have finished WH off and would have scored a few more overall.

I'm wondering what are the odds?

Haaland could have an injury be out for the season and Kane would be in
