Our defence has still been pretty solid in his absence, so he'd have had to contributed in the goal scoring department for us to be higher. Or maybe the suggestion is that he would have contributed to the overall confidence of the team, which is plausible I guess.
I understand why people often say this, but I don't see why its any more or less likely that we'll get "this close" again next season. Yes, the likes of Liverpool, Man Utd, Arsenal and Spurs are unlikely to have a repeat of the teething problems they had in the first half of this season but there's no reason why we won't iron out our own wrinkles too.
Just watching QPR vs Spurs on MotD.
Is there a luckier team in the league than Spurs? QPR were by far the better side, especially in the first half, if the highlights are anything to go by.
Kane took his goals very well though
