Superb thread by Sam Kirklees!!
THREAD:
Romelu Lukaku – criticised – and Harry Kane – rated as world class/best striker in the world.
A goal involvement comparison since 2015 for club and country.
NOTE (1)
Before we begin, know that Lukaku has played for Everton for 2015-16 and 2016-17 whereas Harry Kane has played for Tottenham for the whole duration.
Tottenham have created more chances than both Everton and Manchester United, allowing Kane more chances to score.
NOTE (2)
Disclaimer: I'm not arguing that Lukaku is better than Kane – he isn't. Rather, I'm arguing that Lukaku is grossly underrated and under appreciated in comparison with other top strikers.
Lukaku since 2015:
Games: 172
Goals: 107
Assists: 27
Shots: 500
Shots on target: 245 (49% accuracy)
Conversion rate: 43.67%
Kane since 2015:
Games: 168
Goals: 119
Assists: 15
Shots: 685
Shots on target: 304 (44% accuracy)
Conversion rate: 39.14%
Goal(s) Involvement Per Game
Goals
Lukaku: 107 (0.62 per game)
Kane: 119 (0.71 per game)
Assists
Lukaku: 27 (0.16 per game)
Kane: 15 (0.09 per game)
Goal Involvement
Lukaku: 134 (0.78 per game)
Kane: 134 (0.80 per game)
Shooting Involvement Per Game
Shots
Lukaku: 500 (2.79 per game)
Kane: 685 (4.08 per game)
Shots on target
Lukaku: 245 (1.42 per game)
Kane: 304 (1.81 per game)
Goals per Shooting Involvement
Lukaku:
• 4.67 shots per goal
• 2.29 shots on target per goal
Kane:
• 5.76 shots per goal
• 2.55 shots on target per goal
So:
Romelu Lukaku shoots much less than Harry Kane yet scores more goals per shot taken. Harry Kane's number of goals (only 12 more than Lukaku) is based on a much higher number of shots taken to score those goals.
Summary:
Lukaku is more clinical.
Also, despite the idea that Kane is a great team player whereas Lukaku's link-up and build-up is average, Lukaku registers more assists.
Last Statistic:
If Kane (16 played the same amount of games as Lukaku (172) and Lukaku had the same shooting output as Kane, what would their records be?
The answer (based on per game): ↓
If Lukaku and Kane played the same amount of games and took the same amount of shots:
Romelu Lukaku:
Games: 172
Goals: 150 (+43)
Harry Kane:
Games: 172
Goals: 123 (+5)
Again, it highlights that one of the reasons why Kane scores a lot is because he takes a lot of shots but Lukaku's accuracy and conversion rate is better.
Like I said, I'm not saying Lukaku is better as he isn't but appreciation must be given where appreciation is due.

6 promoted teams from 2 years.
Battle to avoid relegation will be tougher than title fight.

Harry Kane should consider moving out of Spurs to have some trophy in his shelf.

One EPL and FA cup not enough.

Chelsea announce Antonio Conte is sacked with 52 words on their website and they don't even say thank you.
[COLOR=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.87)]Chelsea Football Club and Antonio Conte have parted company.

[COLOR=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.87)]During Antonio’s time at the club, we won our sixth league title and eighth FA Cup. In the title winning season, the club set a then-record 30 wins in a 38-game Premier League season, as well as a club-record 13 consecutive league victories.
We wish Antonio every success in his future career.
