Ok… but a club career of roughly a goal every 2.5 games would suggest otherwise.

You’re not a flat track bully scoring 208 premier league goals :roll:

How about if you score 208 of them against the bottom 5 and never score against the top 6.

Oh right. You just bought it up, I thought there might be a reason for it.

Comparing him to Kane in 2018 probably wasnt a good move, Ian. Hat trick against Panama, 3 penalties and two that deflected off his arse that he knew little about? If we're being really picky, Kane has only scored 2 goals against a team ranked in the Top 10 in a competative fixture and one of them was a penalty.

Not criticising Kane, just pointing out that you can play that game with just about anyone.

Take Gary Lineker

Friendlies - 26
Euro qualifying - 7
WC qualifying - 5
Euros - 0
WC - 10

Of his 22 competative goals, 12 were scored in 6 games against Turkey and Poland and he went missing at his 2 Euros finals.

I also remember Rooney being selected for finals when clearly not fit.

My point is, I've heard this argument for just about every forward.

Funny thing is, I thought Michael Owen might be the exception but he scored in 6 finals matches and England won 1, lost 3 and drew 2 but lost both on penalties.

You said no one who scored 208 PL goals could be a flat track bully didn't you? Just gave a scenario where they could be.

That's why I included that all the strikers I'd listed had scored against a major player.

But, as I've said repeatedly, it's a bollocks argument that can be applied to just about anyone.

Lineker tanked at the Euros
Mbappe just tanked at the Euros
Messi tanked repeatedly in major tournaments
You'd be amazed how few of Ronaldo's international goals have been against top teams and how frequently Luxembourg, Faroes and Andorra feature. He was often criticised for going missing in big games.

If you’re that good to score that many goals in one of the best leagues in the world, you’re scoring against everyone.

Ian you are such an argumentative sod. Hendo is one of the most mild mannered posters on here and never argues with anybody.....apart from you now it seems.
You’d argue with your shadow given half a chance.
