Pattern is clear - we now play better without him.
Huge conundrum as he's still lethal when he's in the mood.
Poch's challenge to finesse tactics/formation to try and find the magic mix to put around him when he plays, so it all sparks.
Kane part 5 comes out this yearI recall fans sperging out when he got injured going in for a nothing tackle. It isn't how Kane works. He is a machine. To quote him after the match:
"NOTHING IS OVER! Nothing! You just don't turn it off! It wasn't my war! You asked me, I didn't ask you! And I did what I had to do to win, but somebody wouldn't let us win! And I come back to the world, and I see all those maggots at the airport, protestin' me, spittin', callin' me "Baby Killer!", and all kinds of vile crap!"

On Airfixx 's bodyFirst pic's a photoshop job.
HK always takes a few games to hit the groove.
Remember the “never scores in august” criticism the press levelled at him?
Judge him at the end of the season, not in pre season friendlies.
I predict 30 goals from him this year if he stays injury free.
The lad is a machine that just takes a little time to warm up.
I still think it was a risk that didn’t pay off to play him in the CL final & that he will declare himself fit when perhaps he isn’t 100%, but he’s still the main man & I can’t wait to see him fisting teams this season.
I didn’t say we lost the CL final (although the history book records exactly that)40 PL goals. You have to factor in being back at home as opposed to Wembley. Playing there cost him 5 or 6 goals in 17/18 - he actually scored more away, which is very unusual. We didn't have as many of the the easy games you get when at a proper home.
He looks sharp and raring to go, getting a proper pre season and no Summer tournament. As long as he gets no ankle aggro I can see him having a phenomenal season.
And we did not lose the CL final. I wish people would get that right. We lost the "try and kick a ball against your opponent's arm even via a deflection final."
Didn''t he score the winner for us a few days ago versus Juve?Yes, absolutely clear after playing Man Utd's A team in a friendly with him and their B team without him that we play better without him. How lucky we were that this opportunity presented itself before the start of the season so we don't waste another season persisting with him. Kane's been dragging this club down too long off the back of a few golden boots and effusive praise from pundits and football managers the world over. We might have to play a spell of a couple of months without him and look utter dog shit like we did at the tail end of last season, but we'll have to fight through it, and keep our resolve and just cast our minds back to the Man United friendly game. And to the Ajax tie, well the 15 minutes of it when we played well without him (we'll conveniently forget the previous 135 minutes without him when we also looked absolute dog shit - or the last 30 minutes when we morphed into a Sam Allardyce team - punting long balls up to the big fella.)
But seriously... If anyone thinks we're a better team without Kane, all you're doing is announcing to the world you've got no clue about football.

...as long as his ankle holds out against the boots that will be targetting him.Jesus, people are doubting the Kane
The guy has set the bar so high that the slightest underperformance hails criticism.
If we can get a balance of consistency sorted out behind him the guy will score 30+ goals a season.
Fuck, let’s hope not, we need Harry well fit this season....as long as his ankle holds out against the boots that will be targetting him.
I worry that he'll get crocked every season, now the opposition are aware that his ankle is his achilles heel.Fuck, let’s hope not, we need Harry well fit this season.
I saw the United highlights last night and it looked like that cunt Andreas could have fucked him before the season starts.I worry that he'll get crocked every season, now the opposition are aware that his ankle is his achilles heel.

We may have made some dodgy tackles also.
Kane - like Pele before him - will leave no appreciable legacy behind.Jesus, people are doubting the Kane
Don't compare Kane to that fraud please.Kane - like Pele before him - will leave no appreciable legacy behind.
You may be right but I hope not.I worry that he'll get crocked every season, now the opposition are aware that his ankle is his achilles heel.
