Kane is better than Haaland bomdia.

Haaland doesn’t impact your gameplan enough and yeah ok he scores goals but most of the time he’s a ghost. If he went on a drought you’d be in serious trouble because it’s like you have a player less than the opposition.

Brilliant, isn't he? Because everybody has noticed City's lack of goals for the past 5 seasons. Only Culer could be that stupid.

don't try to justify common sense stuff to the eeyore, just waste of time...
Haaland is a terrific finisher and has the best sense of being at the right place right time judgement I have ever seen in an attacking player, that's called timing.

As echoed elsewhere on here, I like these "dust settled" mini-series. Don't always agreed with them but nevertheless, there is something that makes sense, away from football fanaticism demonstrated by a few on here.

Nothing I can add tbh, but just that I still don't think Dier is a CB, if you look he stands there with his arms behind him and lets the opposition shoot at goal? I was never a defender but I am sure defenders are supposed to close the gap and put body on the line. Even Davies does that?
Imo Dier will cause us to drop points.
I loved Richy boy. We need to save him for games and only bring him on around an hour mark. He can the destroy the opposition. I am a little worried about Sonny boy...The longer he doesn't score the more desperate he will get and will stop setting up others and try every chance by himself when someone else may be in a better situation?

Overall, we are looking like a solid outfit with plenty of options - Imagine having Perisic on the bench, mind boggles! What a player to bring on.
Good stuff, and can't wait for the City test. Dier for me will get found out in this game. Hope i am wrong. But going forward, Spurs are a match for any side.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

"He who can do no wrong Romero" was at fault for his pathetic attempt at tackling Mitrovic. You are just scapegoating Dier who had to cover Romero who had unsuccessfully committed himself.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
If Verts was there he would have noticed that Romero is struggling to contain the player and would have got in with a block. Not stand there like a loofah with his hands behind him. Not his fault - he is just clueless in defending. Gets turned inside out a lot too.
Dier doesn't know when to go for a block or hold back. Awful sense of that

You hate him, that much is clear. If he is so bad do you not think we would have replaced him, that Conte would not accept having Dier and not pick him. Fact is we dont even have a natural back up for or and nor were really we linked with a central CB. I trust Conte on this one. Dier aint the worlds greatest but he's doing a decent job and our defence is not really a problem, other than passing out from it.

Haaland is the best out and out striker but Kane has more to his game, if Haaland adds the creativity like Kane has then he will be formidable.

Haaland though just keeps getting better and I can see him having a 50 league goal season in the next couple of years.

You missed the fact that the best striker in the PL is now one third of the way to 30 goals after playing less than 6 full games Sandy.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

How is he the best striker in the Prem with just 10 goals, when Kane had nearly 200?

Maths not your strong point I see.

Kane still better in my opinion. His goals this season have already earned Spurs several points. You could take away some of Haaland's goals and City would still have won the games.

Agreed.

Kane is better than Haaland as he contributes more to Tottenham’s gameplan. Haaland is invisible unless he scores… they’ll be playing with ten men if he goes on a drought. Kane offers world class link up etc.

Haaland scoring a hat-trick in a 6-0 win. You could take away his hat-trick, and they would have still won 3-0. Kane scored the equaliser at Chelsea to gain Spurs a point, both goals at Forest for 3 points, the only goal of the game against Wolves, another 3 points, and effectively the winner against Fulham in a 2-1 win for another 3 points.

Kane's goals are invaluable to Spurs.

It’s simple really Sandy.

Kane vs Haaland:

Who is the better footballer?

Answer is Kane.

Your arguments are so fatuous as to be ridiculous, Haaland's goals in other leagues (at pretty much a goal a game) do not count? Following your argument, then had Messi at his peak moved to a PL club he would no longer have been the best in the world until he scored 250 PL goals? That is laughable, and the fact that Culer is backing you should tell you your arguments are ridiculous, he is known as understanding less about football than Maf.

Kanes the better all round striker and the fact he has previously won the most assists and most goals in the PL is evidence of that.

Haaland is the best no.9. They scores a goal a game at every level but the fact he recently went 90 minutes with 8 touches in a 2-0 win shows that his significant contributions are in the box

Sandy has a point in that Kane makes us tick so is about more than just goals although his record is one of teh best ever. Haaland is a phenomenal striker but he finishes off the moves of an outstanding team.

Both amazing in their own slightly different ways.

Bomdia you're just being biased here. Even most City fans admit that if Haaland isn't scoring goals then he's invisible. Ronaldo got pure abuse for it last year for us, probably rightly so, and it's the same with Haaland.

Kane is better.

Kane is nowhere near the same class, he is good, but as pretty much all ex-pro footballers agree, Haaland is the best. He is never invisible, he didn't score against Bournemouth but occupied 2 and often 3 defenders so that others did the scoring, although he did manage an assist. If I am biased, so is every expert, not some, but all.

Time to revisit this will be at the end of the season when Haaland has 2 or 3 medals round his neck from this season, and Kane still has the Millwall Young Player of the Year award from 2011

Haaland is nowhere near Kane in terms of overall ability. For a start Haaland's first touch is poor... he's invisible unless he scores look at the Villa game he was nowhere.

Overall de-tracts from City's play.

Yet he has scored 19 CL goals in 23 CL appearances, can Kane match that ratio? No of course not, nobody can, City have many providers and were criticised for not having an out and out goal scorer after Kun left. Now we have one and are weaker? A scorer who has almost twice as many goals per minute in the PL than Kane and it isn't good enough for you? You and Sandy are pretty much alone in the world in thinking that Kane is better. That may tell you something.

Yeah again a nonsensical, biased argument.

Haaland has played about the last 5 seasons in the UCL whereas Kane hasn’t. Haaland has had more chances to score in the competition.

Ratio doesn't depend on number of games, perhaps that bit was a bit hard for you. I thought that was year 7 maths, it was when I went to school.

You don't understand the fact that if Haaland has played 24+ UCL games in the last 5 years and Kane has played about 6, that it's easier for Haaland to score more???

comment by bomdia (U13941)

posted on 6/9/22

It doesn't affect the ratio of goals to games does it? Even you should be able to grasp that. But you shoot your own argument down, as in the PL the Viking has twice as many goals as Kane in about 50 minutes less, having been substituted when it might be argued that he would have scored more. So Kane, having played more minutes, must have had more chances to score using your logic. But he hasn't, has he?

Crazy to argue against the facts, 20 appearances and 24 goals in the CL, 10 goals in 6 games in the PL, pretty much a goal a game before that and somehow for 2 people, Kane is better. Or maybe not if you are not wearing blinkers or have any understanding of football.
