Look at the stats on that page
His goals for England against very strong sides in the most
That's always said about past players. But when you looked into that's not true about many past players.
The same was said about Charlton when Rooney surpassed him but some of the minnows we hammered in the 60's boosted Charlton no end.
Re Shearer. He scored 5 in his first 20 apps prior to euro 96 and failed to score agaisnt such giants as China and Japan during a 13 match drought... Of his 31 goals. 8 were against teams who generally we'd deem as top tier nations.
His only hat trick being agaisnt Luxembourg.
Imo Kane has 8 against top teams too. But has scored his significantly quicker.
I’m not discounting his ability. But if you simply by stats alone he doesn’t have any better than Kane’s...
As to the teams he scored against at intl level

Pretty similar imo, it’s no surprise that most shire more goals against weaker teams.

To me it's not about which junk team you score against, it's more that they play more games now, against rubbish or not.

Why will they?? Did he not play in qualifying? He scored goals against Luxembourg, Georgia, Moldova etc.

It’s a daft argument imo, the players played when they were around, they didn’t arrange the games or fix the matches.
To suggest player A’s record is better than B’s because of opposition is disrespectful.
If you look at Charlton/Greaves etc they were around when we played the Home Nations at the end of every season.

Anyone dismissing Kanes goals because of the standard of opposition needs to have a word with themselves. He's a fantastic footballer with a great all round game.

To all the @England fans, I wanted to leave things at it was but tonight I have to speak again : it was hard for me to see my team mate get booed for something that was my fault. Joe hasn’t done anything wrong & for me to see someone who keeps his head down and work hard..

That’s why you have to look at goals per games, and Greaves is miles ahead of any England striker.
Thought that was a good effort by Sterling to post on Twitter. Shows what idiots some small minority of England fans are.
Still very worrying signs at the back and a better team could easily have had a couple of goals.

Gomez getting booed is Southgate's fault.

What do the stats say about the top scorers if you take the penalties out of the equation.
Always thought pens shouldn’t really count in top Goalscorer charts.
