The biggest worry for me is how selfish he's become. What impressed me most about him when I saw him play for the youth team or in his cameos in the cups was his ability to see and pick a pass. And I do think this is the "fame" getting to his head.This whole Kane thing is now over the top . This isn't going to help his development imo .
He's been good lately , but not exceptional . Some here were thinking that previous levels of hype had already affected him ( we've already seen him dribbling and shooting when teamates were better placed) , but now its ridiculous . How can a 21 year old , no matter how apparently mature , stop himself from embracing this tidal wave of hero worship...and starting to believe it . Wherever the poor kid goes socially his arrival is an event . Even superstars are lauding him .
Whats more the big clubs will have noticed....little whispers in his ear about trophies and massive wage hikes...
Gone too far , I'm a tad worried for him tbh.
Since his run of goals started, his passing has disappeared. He is always trying to dribble past players and score. I know it sounds silly to criticize a striker for this, but his run of goalscoring is not sustainable. At some point, when regression kicks in, he is going to have to set up others as well. I hope he still possesses this quality, because moments like at the end vs United when he shot from an impossible angle instead of squaring it for a tap in to two open teammates really concerned me. The only passes I can remember him playing are the one to Mason in the first United game and vs Eriksen in the cup semifinal.
I can't criticize him as he is the only reason we are where we are in the table. But I will make it known that I've spotted this, and when reality kicks in next season, I hope he is capable of doing more than just dribbling and shooting.
