Playing for the team unlike Harry hit and hope Kane who has a single assist. Kane has scored or assisted in 13 games. Whereas Lukaku has contributed in 15, and in a less attacking team. When Mourinho won the league with Chelsea Lampard was their top scorer on 13 goals. Pretty sure Haf dismissed Owen in the past for scoring a hattrick one game then none for the next 3, well Kane is in that bracket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ffs give it up on the Harry Kane criticisms it's beyond hilarity now. Lukaku has 4 more assists - so fuckin what. Assist stats are a joke. One of his assists from memory was a simple 4 yard side ways pass to martial who rattled it in from 30 yards - essentially he was the last person to touch it before the goalscorer. Pienaar had low assists for us but played critical parts in goals he never got the penultimate touch for. One season wonder kane you said.... still wouldn't have him in our side no? The lad is the complete centre forward. He's breaking records.... must just be really lucky with those hit and hope shots. Tell me.... was Beckham just hit and hope with his free kicks or do you think it was practice paying dividends? Because from what I gather from Kane he's worked his balls off and continues to do so left and right foot. Extra hours shooting practice..... sorry i mean hit and hope practice. I wonder if he gets more lucky the more often he practices. I was laughed at for saying I would have firminio over lukaku. Not so hilarious now is it.

Just like it doesn't for pretty much all strikers. The issue is this - he has been wasteful at times and has been expected to do a bit more than just wait for the ball to arrive at his feet. The lad is essentially a penalty box finisher like Micky Quinn or Kevin Phillips. The general consensus with United fans is that he is out of his depth. Someone made a great post about him.... they likened his signing as being as though Alex Ferguson signed John Hartson instead of dwight yorke when Brian Kidd suggested it..... "he's not man United!" Everything I said about his season has pretty much turned out as I predicted.... shockingly bad against top 6 (£20 bet with pad looks safe).... goals against lower teams bumping up his stats. He's too slow and sloppy in his play.... mourinho by signing Sanchez will probably be going to the 433 that man city and Liverpool use with 3 footballing forwards. Martial Sanchez and rashford the likely candidates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kane missed sitters against us and scored from a shit cross. World class him. Says a lot when you remember each miss of Lukaku's, highlights how rare they are and how clinical he tends to be.
