Do you think I'm basing my entire opinion on four games? Are we forgetting the end of last season and the U21 Euro's?
He's got 1 in his last 9 PL appearances. All I'm hearing is he's lacking service, he makes good runs, his overall play is still good which all sounds like excuses made for Rooney before he started banging them in on Wednesday.
Might be wrong, he might be a star and it may be for the reasons you stated, or it might be as I said, that he just had a really long purple patch last season. Jury's still out on Harry Kane.
The jury's definitely out, no doubt about it, none of us can predict how he'll down out a couple of years from now, try as we may. But at the same time we must also realize that it's a bit unfair to overly criticize him just yet. He's still only 22 and coming off the back of his first full season in the Premier League. Part of the fault lies with the insane hype machine that skewed people's expectations, something that a lot of young English footballers have to deal with instead of taking their time to develop slowly. We can't realistically expect him to perform on that level every single game.
Like every young striker he'll have his ups and downs in terms of goal-scoring consistency, and that's totally expected, so let's keep that in perspective too. A lot of his growth as a striker will not be gauged purely by the output, but by his dedication and commitment to the team when he stops scoring. And by all means, Kane has shown the ability to stay focused and work as a part of the attacking unit instead of sulking and making himself the center of attention. Tottenham's lack of form as a whole isn't helping him either, just like Chelsea's tepid performances are magnifying Costa's issues and lack of goals as a striker.
As for the Rooney comparison, I still don't think it's appropriate. A lot of the criticism directed at him stemmed from his horrid first touch, lack of desire, fitness concerns? and just a general sense of him being disinterested (much like Van Persie last season or during Moyes' tenure). And he addressed some of those vs Brugge, where he did show a lot more character and purpose. None of those concerns are applicable for Kane.
