Maybe. Certainly hope so. But also possible we have seen the best of him now (as a goalscorer).

1 goal in the prem so far is a disgrace for the so called best striker in the world. We're in december ffs.

FFS someone should've told Conte this before he banned ketchup. No wonder Kane isn't scoring
Helps that the goal keepers are 5ft.

As long as he's not depressed and de-motivating the rest of his teammates, I couldn't care less about Kane's scoring form whilst the team keeps on winning. He was a phenomenon last season but considering he was top scorer and assister yet we still finished 7th shows that we were over-reliant on one player.
It is great to see so many other players around the pitch contributing with goals this year. Rival teams' defenders can focus on man-marking Kane as much as they want as long as our other players are popping up in the created space to smash the ball in the net.

Sophie Baggaley, who kept goal for Bristol, is 5ft6.
Obviously still very short for a goalie by men’s standards, but when the conversation is about the composure to get the shot on target in the first place, your implied disparagement comes off as a bit on the mean side.
I fully accept that I, and several others, may have thought it, and I’m not interested in the women’s game personally, but many are and I think we should try to avoid little digs like that. Frankly, not one person on this forum would be able to keep up with any decent level women’s side.
I’m sorry but I saw the goal, she was basically in the box, running towards goal and the main reason she was able to do it is the fact the keeper is tiny. You try that in the men’s game and it doesn’t happen from that close range. They’re completely different chances.
plus that is a bold statement given the results where academy u15s teams have beaten the best international sides in the women’s game.

Wouldn’t have mattered if there was a 5 year old in goal for Norwich as Kane’s effort was not on target

So you’re saying that pointing out the height of women’s goalies and underestimating it by a good 10% is relevant to whether or not Kane Shouldn’t got hits shot on target?

Sorry to pick you up on this but that is really really not true. The womens game still has a long long way to go before that would be the case. Any half decent Saturday amateur team i suspect would wipe the floor with even the top teams in womens football. I really dont mean that to be disrespectful either but having coached and watched supposedly high level womens teams for the past 5 years i really could not agree less with your last sentence.

Lets take the women's football debate to another thread...

Happy to disagree on that point, but either way it doesn’t detract from my overriding statement that the exaggerated dig about height has nothing to do with the discussion around whether or not Harry could’ve got his chip on target in the way that a currently confident player did in the women’s final.

Think Harry is doing a good job for the team and is an absolutely crucial part of it
Am sure Conte sees him as one of the proverbial first names on the team sheet

He played really well v Norwich in my opinion and looked a lot more like himself.

Don't give a shit if he only scores three goals this season if the team finishes fourth.

If that was why I posted, i'd be doing that in every thread on SC. But I don't, because it isn't.
