With Harry Kane the Stat is poor – Tottenham are better off and Bayern are worse this season

Opta Stats, which the Daily Mail cited, show that although Bayern’s offensive production has dramatically decreased since Harry Kane departed the team, Tottenham’s has grown greatly.

Bayern seems to be in a crisis right now. The Bundesliga team appears to be in serious danger of going the whole season without winning a trophy, which would be a major departure from the club’s norm.

In addition to trailing Bayer Leverkusen by five points in the league, Thomas Tuchel’s team faces elimination from Europe after a 1-0 loss to Lazio in the first leg of their round of 16 Champions League match.

After the loss in Rome, Kane has been under heavy fire. Bild gave him a six (where 1 is the best rating and 6 is the worst) for his performance at the Stadio Olimpico.

Tottenham’s average goal total this season is 1.96, with an anticipated goal total of 1.66, compared to 1.64 goals per game the previous season, according to Opta.

The influence Ange Postecoglou has had is seen in Spurs’ improved shots per game from 13.4 in 2022–23 to 15.1 now, despite losing their record goalscorer, who scored 32 goals in all competitions last season.

Despite the fact that Kane has scored 28 goals across all competitions, Bayern, who scored 2.73 goals per game in the league the previous season, are currently only averaging 2.45 goals per game after Kane’s transfer to the Allianz Arena.

Here’s one another illustration of how correlation does not indicate causality. Without a doubt, neither Bayern’s nor Spurs’ offensive productivity has increased as a result of Kane’s acquisition. This is a result of Tottenham replacing Conte with Postecoglou and the German team firing Nagelsmann in order to hire Tuchel.
