NathanAClark @nathanaclark.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Similarly, perhaps, there's an (unfair) narrative about Kane in semis/finals that could be effecting his performances in them truly. What I mean to say is that Harry Kane, as an example, is highly susceptible to taking on both a winning and a losing mentality 140
NathanAClark @nathanaclark.bsky.social · 01/10/2026When Harry Kane (due to team form, injury etc.) went a couple of Augusts without scoring and there became a narrative about it. That narrative, I believe, significantly impacted his performances in following Augusts. 140
NathanAClark @nathanaclark.bsky.social · 01/10/2026When Jermain Defoe told Harry Kane that he's more likely to score a goal if he just missed the last one (statistically false) he believed it, it stuck with him and I think it still helps him to this day. 140
