Harry Kane | Bayern Munich player

[Hoof the ball]

Also Lewandowski's record is 16 in 11, so it's another one up but only just.

Although, I don't think it's fair to omit Kane's creative influence as it doesn't paint the entire picture. Just in league performances :-

Lewandowski had 16 goals in 11 games, with 0 assists for 16 direct goal contributions.
Kane has 17 goals in 11 games, with 5 assists for 22 direct goal contributions.

Fair point. Kane is currently doing everything Lewy did, and then adds a whole bunch the latter didn't. If he can keep it up he will outshine Lewandowski's legacy quickly.

 

[Red Rash]

I predicted at the start of the season, injuries permitting, that he would get 40 goals in all competitions this season. I think I may have been too conservative.

40 in the league seem conservative by now

I think it's 21g and 7a in all competitions now?

He's unlocked Sane's god mode.

 

[GameOn]

We know how good he is, we've seen him for England for years. He regularly scores hat-tricks against the likes of Costa Rica.

I think we should really stop using the "he doesn't score consistently against elite teams" narrative.

The same is true for basically every elite goalscorer.

Even CR7 was known for boosting his stats against lesser opponents, while many of the critical goals in the big games were scored by the supporting cast (Ramos, Bale, Benzema).

Same for Lewandowski.

Elite teams take away the superstar upfront and dare the other players to beat them.

The only outlier was prime Messi because he was just otherworldly and too good to be controlled.

No one said that, I said playing against teams that are clearly a much lower level is always going to mean he scores a bagful of goals because he's a very good forward.

Kane was the missing piece last season for Bayern and then some. He’s done better than I’d have imagine him to.

Matter of time before he wins a trophy there.

 

[The Purley King]

Bayerns goal difference after 11 games is 33.
Incredible…….

 

[totaalvoetbal]

He could potentially win the Ballon D'Or. For me he is currently the best striker in the world. If Bayern win the Cl, England win the Euros and Harry Kane plays a big part in both, he will win it.

 

[Hound Dog]

Sadly they have now played most of the dross teams at home so his stat padding ways will become a problem.

I have never seen a Bayern player so determined to score against dross such as Darmstadt and Heidenheim.

 

[2 man midfield]

21 goals already. I wonder where we’d be if he came here instead. Would we be faring much better, or would we be struggling to give him service?

Determined? In all the Bayern games I've watched he barely looks like he's breaking a sweat. The league looks terribly easy for him.

And Dortmund but nevermind them.

I like this forum for the general football conversation, but even more when people get salty that we got Kane.

The real trophy was the Harry Kane we got along the way

I'm sure a lot of people are just enjoying seeing possibly the greatest English number 9 of all time finally go on to prove how good he really is for a top club in a good league.

 

[Halftrack]

England win the Euros

 

[MoskvaRed]

They should be favourites along with France.

 

[el3mel]

I will save you the effort of thinking. He would have turned into Alexis Sanchez MkII here.

Not sure why anyone would be salty.

Could turn out to be our best transfer of the window if Bayern get to a position to deny City a 2nd consecutive CL title.

We were never winning anything big with or without Kane.

After 12 games Man Utd -3

Yeah the amazing thing when you look at it is Lewa in his best scoring season got 7 assists, Kane will likely beat that comfortably before Christmas (probably even with a couple of games). He’s on track for other wordly numbers.

 

[Zehner]

They had a couple of freak results, though. Bochum and Darmstadt completely imploded against them and those two games alonse contributed +15 goal difference. Bayern can bulldoze teams when they get into their flow but sometimes their reputation precedes them and opponents just shit their pants.

 

[Ayoba]

He's doing really well but the standard in the german league is shocking. I saw Kane's goals yesterday, keeper should've easily saved the header

 

[ArmaDino]

21 goals already. I wonder where we’d be if he came here instead. Would we be faring much better, or would we be struggling to give him service?

We would definitely been better as a team. He isn't just a pure goalscorer as Haaland, but he could have also taken some of the creative burden off Bruno.

If he came here I think we would have had an extra 4-6 points in the league and people would actually be looking at a title challenge.

 

[horsechoker]

De Gea would've saved them

 

[Annihilate Now!]

Always think goals in Germany count for half
... So he's on like 11 goals.

Which is still really impressive.

 

[BenitoSTARR]

What a player. I do love the look of Højlund but Kane would have been an absolute delight to have seen in a United shirt.

He'd spend the majority of games dropping deep trying to get a hold of the ball due to lack of service - something which Bayern have seemingly cut from his game and told him to remain the focal point.

 

[Bestietom]

Absolutely brilliant. He deserves all he gets as he works his socks off every game he plays. Wish he had come to Man. Utd.

 

[TheGame]

He was dropping deep yesterday as well though but still manages to get forward to get the goals.

 

[Semper Fudge]

Not at all, he's still doing it. Just better.

 

[stefan92]

Not at all, he's still doing it. Just better.

He did it a lot when he arrived, much less after the first matches and now again a bit more - looks like they are still trying to get the right balance in that regard.

 

[RedRonaldo]

Think he is as good as peak Lewandowski. He is going to win Ballon D'or if Bayern win CL.

 

[kouroux]

He just simply doesn't need to do it as often

 

[Valencia Shin Crosses]

21 goals already. I wonder where we’d be if he came here instead. Would we be faring much better, or would we be struggling to give him service?

We'd be struggling and playing mostly crap football still. I mean Hojlund (barring yesterday) has basically had 0 service in the league and the stats back it up. Kane would help more creatively since he could drop deeper I guess but our issues lie in that the wingers and midfield have been mostly atrocious and we've had a million injuries at the back.

 

[Andrade]

Bayern won't win the CL. And the Ballon D'Or will take into account the Euros, which Kane will probably fail in again, when it counts.

Incredible, in the most one sided league in the world by far. The Boringliga.

It says more about their league than them as a team. Bayern are world class but the level of top sides apart from City isn’t exactly high right now.

Kane is doing great but we are in a bit of a lull for quality teams if you ask me. Part of the reason is giants like Juventus, Barcelona and us been rubbish. Liverpool also have slowed down.

Any of those sides back in the day would have given Bayern an equal match.

It hurts the sport badly seeing United and Barcelona for example not really doing that well in Europe especially because of ownership problems.

Barcelona and United are arguably being more glamour than Bayern do but it’s all self inflicted sadly.
