A well thought out argument backed up with reasoning...you are clearly some kind of soccer oracle
Holtby deserves them.
I don't see why Defoe suddenly deserves league starts - because he scored two goals against a sub par Villa? Both are goals that Soldado would have scored just as well.
OK, I'm advocating Soldado a little strongly but I just think that he offers more. JD has stepped up his game in terms of movement and has shown that he's stronger than he used to be, can be more involved in hold up play etc. But Soldado just looks sharper at present, has better movement and (while it's a clichéd defence, it's true) offers a hell of a lot more than Defoe does other than goals.
Defoe had a great game tonight. What I'm not convinced of is whether it's any better than Soldado would have had.

No. Soldado has been doing fine. There are enough games to go around.
Thank's
i am a Defoe fan but with the style and shape we are playing there isn't room for both and Soldado is the better player
Defoe starting against Chelsea? No chance.
And in a 4-4-2 with Soldado? No way.
4-4-2 in the league is long-dead.

No, and here's why... JD might have scored a few so far this season, but it's been against opposition that doesn't defend too well. Sides that have given the team quite a bit of space to manouver in, and he's not exactly been brilliant on the whole. He's scored yes, but he's not been the standout player in any of the games he's played in so far.
Give him a start against someone like Villa in the league, or the last of the promoted sides, but not against any of the tophalf/good defensive teams.

City just spanked United with a version of 4 4 2 so it depends how you play it really
Suddenly? You utter, utter C.
You are the intercunt dweller I spoke of the other day....totally clueless...holding up? Our team plays in one quarter of the pitch.....he's hardly going to be isolated.
I have nothing but disdain for you
