The other games today - 2013/14


Recommended Posts

2 goals against a diabolical Villa defence doesn't change the fact Defoe is a bang average player and a greedy bastard to boot.

 

Don't forget the braces/hattricks against Maribor, Dinamo Tbilisi, Tromso, Reading and San Marino. All greeted with lols a plenty.

His whole career changes this fact like.

 

The argument has been overdone I know. He's an English goalscorer, the natural enemy of the football hipster.

Love the stubbornness with Defoe. You're allowed to admit he can be a very good goalscorer on his day, while maintaining - correctly - he has obvious flaws.

 

No-one is saying he's a world-class consistent goalscorer. He is, however, a very, very useful player to have in your squad and is overwhelmingly likely to get you goals. "Bang average" he certainly is not.

 

Feel free to continue the bizarre anti-Defoe fetish you lads have, though.

Why's that bizarre? Something's going wrong with football if someone who has the knack of just smashing goals in anywhere within 20 yards of goal can't please people.

It's definitely odd like.

 

He's a striker who gets goals when given game time. Would kill to have had him as an option over the last few years. Maintain that if he hailed from Spain the very same people would be singing his praises.

He has a knack of putting his head down and shooting every time he gets the ball.  He is a good goalscorer on his day, mainly because he has about 800 shots a match.  He has no awareness, can't link up play, hold up the ball or do most things a top striker can. 

 

Comparing him to Andy Cole?  Not having that like.
