Harry Kane

[nailsy]

He's now overtaken Kevin Davies on the premier league top scorers list. Next up are James Beatte and Solksjaer.

Really hope he beats Shearer’s record before Jan 1srt. Just 4 goals in 4 games required. I fancy him to do it.

Wasn’t Shearer’s record set in the early 90s when there were 22 teams who each played 42 games per season?

His cross field long range passing is just superb, he's a proper world class player, everything he does has a purpose.

He keeps hitting it crossfield and I keep thinking he's completely fucked it only to see it dip and a player making a run onto the end of it in space, and then I realise it was deliberate all along.

His finishing ability is what's made him famous but he's really become a superb all round centre-forward now.

It was and he played more games in 1995 than Kane will in 2017,
but that doesn't really matter when it comes to the calendar year record.
Kane's achievement arguably better than Shearer's yes, but the one with the most goals with hold the record no matter what.

The thing is with Kane, if he just misses out on Shearer's calendar year record, he'll only work even harder in 2018 to try and beat it

What a player he is , to think he came straight from the academy to makes it so much more pleasing . He plays like he is possessed , he just keeps knocking at the door he missed a few against stoke but made sure he scored . We are witnessing a legend and i am scared of a spurs without him . He really is that good

I fancy 3 of them will be scored on Wednesday night

Love how he's hit the woodwork 5 times and then loads of players are joint second with two.

Need a percentage though to be honest. Shots on target ratio would be a better representation.

To put it into context, most of the big chances that Harry Kane has missed have probably been created by him in the first place. This is why he is so prolific as he can score from anywhere with either foot or his head.

Who gets to decide whats a 'big miss' ?
Im not sure that stat really means fuck all.

It's a load of bollocks really.

It's a load of bollocks really.

I doubted it as soon as I noticed Jozy Altidore wasn't at the top of it.

 

[Everlasting Seconds]

I think the stats are highly realistic. 7 big chances missed this season? I think that makes sense.

Well done to the lad, can't help thinking he looks bigger and less mobile this year though. Maybe the kit isn't as sleek? I dunno, just think he looks bigger.

He’s blatently been carrying an injury for the last few weeks. I thought that was pretty obvious.
