Is it because hes a former city player? Tomiyasu is much better. Arsenal dont need another midfielder, they need a defender Well, add in fact Zinchenko is a left back, and Tomiyasu isn't that probably pays into it, even though you are correct, he is way better than Zinchenko currently. Game yesterday was so good and bad from Chelsea perspective, 75 minutes bossed Arsenal and looked great, then Enzo got tired, our subs weren't up to the level and we concede a silly goal and then switch off again and its 2-2  | ||

I like to think I follow the game pretty closely but must confess I hadn’t heard of the bloke prior haha He was always between Bundesliga and French Ligue 1, then last season on a 1 year lease in Stuttgart, but Stuttgart was shit last season and would have undoubtedly been relegated if it wasn't for him. He scored 11 goals in 22 matches. He has a supposedly small muscle injury in the thigh and will hopefully play again in ~ 3 - 4 weeks. Lets hope he can break some records for Stuttgart before going to Real/ PSG/ Chelsea. | ||

He stayed at a small club for ages. He could have won tons of trophies and earned way more money if he had moved on. | ||

He's been a great success at Bayern, too. Overshadowed by Guirassy obviously but 9 goals 4 assists in his first 8 league apps. It is weird seeing spurs be this good this season, but it's not because they lost Kane. Tbh I haven't seen them play much but I've heard Maddison has been a revelation. | ||

I think he meant the way he plays, but even that doesn't make sense imho. If a striker is amazing at scoring a shitload of goals, every manager in the world will tell them to get into a scoring position every time they get the chance. Kane is the player you tell 'if you can shoot, shoot'. Its not selfish, its best for the team that he does that. | ||

Also Spurs definitely isnt so great because Kane left. Its all down to Ange and Maddison signing. They have been missing a playmaker ever since eriksen left | ||

He is exactly what bayern needed. No idea what's self centered about him. What a stupid take by Stealth. | ||

However this also could be due to how Spurs have been set up for when Kane has been there? But i mean him leaving and them looking way better offensively has to have some correlation? This also isn't taking away from Kane, i think he is best striker this country has ever produced which is stupidly high praise when you think of the strikers England have had!! | ||

It’s far more big Ange, as well as Maddison. They’ve gone from pretty stodgy, defensive football super reliant on Kane to be both the 9 and 10, to not doing that. You’ve also got guys like Bissouma who look reinvigorated after being deemed surplus to requirements. Add in Son not having his best season last time out, Richarlison not really getting going and Kane’s season and Tottenham’s placing looks all the more circumstantially impressive. It’s a shame for Kane that he hasn’t had a Spurs side playing like this one currently is for quite some time, but he couldn’t wait around forever. Kane’s still dropping and linking with Bayern, and he really does excel as a deeper, creative 9 with lots of interplay around him, but he isn’t the almost sole creative outlet like he ended up at times with Spurs. One of those summers where it seemed to work out for all parties really. I still think Kane would have been a better fit for City than Haaland is, as ruthless as the latter is the former I think would dovetail with how they play a bit better | ||

I haven't seen the numbers crunched so maybe I'm wrong, but this is my impression. | ||

With him, you can reliably expect that there's some type of hard cross being made into the box reasonably frequently, and Haaland is uniquely great at converting those. Without him, seems like there are much fewer of those chances, and that City's attacks take longer to reach a conclusion (and then I'm inclined to agree that a Kane is better than a Haaland). I haven't seen the numbers crunched so maybe I'm wrong, but this is my impression. That feels pretty spot on to me really, that De Bruyne/Haaland combination is particularly lethal, it’s less so when City’s multitudes of 10s are doing their intricate interplay thing and slowing it up waiting for gaps. Perhaps I’m just remembering that one incredible outside of the foot deep cross too prominently, but it seemed Cancelo was more willling and able to whip in the kind of early balls Haaland somehow gets to as well | ||

You are right about Maddison that guy is crazy good, shame Southgate will never play him | ||
