    This is harsh.

    Did you really write: "They [Talksport ]said that whereas Kane is good enough to go straight into Barca's first XI, Vardy would be good enough to sit on Atletico's bench."

    Who would sicknote replace? Suarez? Or is he a better wide forward than Messi or Neymar?

    Tbf, Vardy is a winner (Premier League 15/16) and scored against an elite team in a CL QF.

    Have any Spurs players done that?

    When was the last time anyone scored with a shot off target Liebherr?

    For the record, Harry Kane had missed 42 shots this season, Vardy has missed 21.

    If they could, Shane Long would be European footballer of the year.

    No mate, you've got to be good enough to take your chances.

    Vardy does that expertly.

    Well that's irrelevant isn't it?

    When talking about how clinical a striker is then surely all strikers shots should count? Not just the better ones.

    Otherwise you could have a striker who scored 5 penalties which were his only shots on target and have about 50 off target... would you claim they have a 100% strike rate because all his shots on target went in?

    I reckon you're on the wind up. Not sure anyone could be that ****ing stupid.

    I think he was trying to use an extremely selective stat to try and enforce what he was trying to say. It has gone badly wrong, however

    Kane has scored at a better rate than Suarez in their Premier League stints .... this fact goes a long way with me .

    Have you gone soft in the head? I've literally posted the shots off target stat in the very post you've quoted.

    If it makes you feel better. Kane has a worse ratio than Vardy.

    Suarez assisted a hell of a lot more than Kane does.

    Kane is a very good striker. Suarez is world class - probably in the top 3-4 players in the game.

    Players like Suarez come along once a decade, or so.

    I wasn't discussing the Vardy/Kane situation though.

    Purely asking why you chose to ignore shots off target, you responded by saying that they don't.

    Clearly irrelevant in discussion about how clinical strikers are no?

    Suarez was the best attacker this league has seen since Ronaldo and prior to that Henry.

    Not sure we'll see another like that here for a while either.

    True, mate. He very nearly carried Pool to the title single handed.
