He has added to his celebration with a finger wag ... I like the invention and creativity by him. Hope it isnt a one off.

Interesting stat I read from the Arsenal game…. Harry had 9 shots - nearly as many as his 15 passes in the game. Recently, he’s been below 4 shots per game. Nice to see him looking sharper / more selfish.

He really doesn't like them does he!
9 shots in one game~ wow, nearly more than the entire team got during Nuno's tenure!

He regularly posted those number between 2016-2018. BUt he has become more shot shy form 25 yards. He used to regularly score from outside the box.

We’d have CL secured already if he’d turned up before Xmas.
Not under Nuno we wouldn't, Conte was always the key to getting back on track. Kane played his best season last season and we still finished 7th. We were in serious decline regardless of the form Kane was in at the start of the season.

Had no idea England had 4 Nations league games in June. In a non tournament summer he will end up getting 2/3 week break. But very good chance will break Rooney record.

We'll have to agree to disagree. I do concur that Nuno contributed to our overall points tally, but Kane was not fully 100% match fit until Conte had been here a month (it took him 4 games under Conte to both regain full fitness and score). Missing pre-season and starting training the day before out first game did not help. 1 goal in our first 14 league games was simply not good enough someone as good as Harry.

Interestingly, Salah has only scored from open play in 1 of Liverpol's last 11 league games. Son has 10 goals in his last 8 league games. He has to be favourite for the golden boot.

I just think the 2 are linked though. If Conte came in the summer then Kane would be fit in pre season (no chances he acts up) and start far better. It's up to the manager to get him playing and we can't hide from the fact we hardly had shots or got the ball into the box under Nuno. It's not like we were creating chances and Kane was missing them. Kane wasn't the only one not performing under Nuno. That's all on the club though for the mess of a manager search which disrupted pre season and all that wasted time for an average manager.

The two are linked. Ultimately, under Nuno Kane was not 100% committed and was not fit enough. With hindsight, if we miss out by 1 point I bet Kane will be kicking himself.

Player of the year is between Son and Dier IMO, as they are the only two who have been 'on it' from day 1.

Hey look - No one in the top scorers list has played more games than Kane. Only Saka and Pukki have played as many.

Not bad for Mr "glass ankles" and "injury prone" (so say other clubs fans)

Im pretty sure he thought about the finger wag again and kind of did it for one wag but then reverted back to type. Hmmm
