BobBobSuperBob Posted May 21, 2017 Report Share Posted May 21, 2017 Will come good at International level You don't score the goals in Premier League that he does without the ability to do so 5 hat tricks this season (Only equalled by Shearer) and 19 in the last 14 games Dont know what people expect !

Big Red Rich Posted May 21, 2017 Report Share Posted May 21, 2017 On a more serious note, we are very good at producing decent premier league strikers but none seem to kick on on the international stage.

Dastardly and Muttley Posted May 21, 2017 Report Share Posted May 21, 2017 If Lewandowski had played in England with Kane's scoring record over the last two years, he would be hailed as the best in the world. Why not Kane? Although I don't think he's quite there, he's starting to make a case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mainly because he's 'unspectacular' scores a lots of decent goals but not the sort to leave four defenders on their backsides before netting Doesnt catch the eye/ 'pleasing' to the eye, in the way some do , and IMHO you have to look at him closely to work out why he's so successful Takes a lot of his shots early , before the keeper is set , is one Tbf to the lad he's more than a goalscorere and works for the team too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petehinton Posted May 21, 2017 Report Share Posted May 21, 2017 Never understand why people seem to have this 'I told you so' attitude toward him, whenever he goes through a rough patch. Hes been a one season wonder for the last 3 years now. Need to start appreciating how good he is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoons Posted May 21, 2017 Report Share Posted May 21, 2017 We love to build someone up in this country ... Just so we can knock him down! In any other country they would build a team around him.. In this country he won't get in the team! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point , they were discussing him the other day and one of the pundits, may have been Shearer made that very point , said it was uncanny how many of his goals go in just inside the post or in the corners a, and then pointed out it wasn't coincidence but a skill he's worked extremely hard on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobBobSuperBob Posted May 21, 2017 Report Share Posted May 21, 2017 Just had a look out of interest - For Cole and Fowler I've only included their peak periods as their career s dived thereafter (Cole Newcastle & Man U , and Fowler only Liverpool) Kane 78 goals in 113 appearances. Goal per 1.44 games (Not sure that's up to date and may be better than that) Shearer 283 goals in 559 appearances. Goal per 1.97 games Andy Cole 138 goals in 265 appearances. Goal per 1.92 games Robbie Fowler 129 goals in 226 appearances Goal per 1.75 games Sort of speaks for itself really Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BS4 on Tour... Posted May 21, 2017 Report Share Posted May 21, 2017 ....and Kane has missed 9 games this season through injury, he would probably have scored another 5 goals in those games at least. Top striker and Harry is a brill name for an English striker.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cidercity1987 Posted May 21, 2017 Report Share Posted May 21, 2017 Cant knock his goalscoring achievements but dont forget he was total toilet in the Euros. Having spent a lot of money travelling around just to see him overhit corner after freekick is not easily forgotten. Come back with the question in 13 months after another Champs League campaign and of course the World Cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North London Red Posted May 21, 2017 Report Share Posted May 21, 2017 7 hours ago, CotswoldRed said: No. Put him up against European opposition and he's nothing special. 2 goals in 3 champions league appearances. 10 goals in 31 Europa League appearances, a fair proportion of which were from the bench. 5 in 17 for England for so far (and no, they weren't all against San Marino). Not the worst record in the world! And yes I know he was disappointing in the Euros last summer, but Lewandowski didn't exactly set the tournament alight either.
