Great signing. He's a big reason why we keep clean sheets
Kane's got a good record against the top teams and he isn't particularly pacy.He's never been brilliant against the top teams and defenders who can match his pace and physicality. Martinez made easy work of him.
What do you think bro. As I said when you guys signed him this summer: he will become a fan favorite and is a future captain.Do ajax fans miss him?
To be fair, Jamie Carragher with his hundreds of PL appearances was the cheerleader for that opinion.Shows how much the average fan knows
Average fan/professional pundit.Shows how much the average fan knows
Well if they don't have subtitles I won't be able to make out anything he's saying so no problem.Every defender eventually makes a mistake or loses a header. The moment that happens to Martinez you will hear from Carragher.

It was fun to watch. The size difference makes it even more impressive.He's never been brilliant against the top teams and defenders who can match his pace and physicality. Martinez made easy work of him.
Well you did get some decent cash for him as consolation so not all bad.What do you think bro. As I said when you guys signed him this summer: he will become a fan favorite and is a future captain.
Not really, other than Arsenal he's not close to even a goal every 2 games against the big sides. Less if you take away the penalties. Against us he's 5 in 18.Kane's got a good record against the top teams and he isn't particularly pacy.
That is harsh…. Would you miss him? Ofcourse we miss him. Every gameDo ajax fans miss him?
I hope @GifLord can make a gif of that play or a video, not when Kane has the ball but before it, before the ball reaches the area. Martines is reading the play all the time. First, he's about to come out to press, then gets back and reads the Kane possibility. And then he goes against him and wins the ball, tries to preserve it instead of kicking it elsewhere and gets the corner. He gets mad with himself with all the stadium screaming "Argentina, Argentina".He is really one of the best signings post-fergie era. Apart from his skills, the most important trait he has over our past failed big time signings is his attitude. The best example was the last tackle on Kane. He looked utterly disgusted with himself when he misdribbled and got the ball out for a corner. We all knew that won't have an impact to the win even if spurs scored from the corner. He is exactly the type of players that we need to bring in. Competent in his technical ability with exceptional attitude towards each game.

It's amazing to watch.
well that was quick
I always felt like he had a better record against us. I know early on he didn't score against us for ages but picked up later. Fair enough.Not really, other than Arsenal he's not close to even a goal every 2 games against the big sides. Less if you take away the penalties. Against us he's 5 in 18.
He used to have pace but injuries have taken a lot away.
at the end he says "Que pelotudo" which means "what an idiot" in spanish
Agreed. There was a little moment at the end of the first half as well where Kane was just about to pass to someone and Martinez barged, cleanly I might add but unexpectedly and won the ball. I love his agression, ability on the ball and determination.He is really one of the best signings post-fergie era.

I thought that was the dumbest argument ever when people made it. As if we are playing giants every week that just look to dominate the air like prime Ronaldo. This isn't the 442 era of the PL, you don't need tree's at the back if you can defend on the front foot and are a dominant passer.A colossus. He proves the 'height is most important' pundits wrong week after week, game after game. Long may it continue.
