he was good before he got worked out. now hes been worked out hes useless as he doesnt have any overpowering qualities. physically hes poor, hes slow and weak for his size. hes an unorthodox player, its like a professional poker player playing against someone whos never played before and gets bluffed because they are so unorthodox, once they work out what they are up to its game over. he plays at a low intensity and his technique with striking a ball is pretty poor, very weak for his size. hes done at this level now as everyone knows what hes about and its easily stopped. been shit for over 3 years...thats not form
Yet he scored 8 goals in 25 prem apperances last season. hard to say he was found out.

yea and 9 in 38 the whole season, and 7 in 38 the year before that. considering thats all he really does bring is the odd goal here and there and a poncy nutmeg that does nothing on the halfway line. its not really great is it. 16 goals in 76 games last two full seasons. 22 in 50 in 16-17...what do you put his decline down to then?

Grealish got 10 goals in 41 in the same season whats your point
 
you watched grealish play? he gets on top of the game and makes his team get on top of the game, he doesnt do a little poncy flick here and there for the cameras.
So does Dele. West ham away ring any bells. Get a manager that belives in Dele and you will see results. Why does Poch want him at PSG. Dele is a gifted player. The ony player in the last 20 yeras to win the PFA young player of the year twice. This campaign to make out Dele is shite is just nonsence

Usually agree with what you say Paddy but I don't see him in the team. Done nothing in 2 years and it will be a matter of months before his value falls off a cliff.

Really thought he was our Bergkamp but he's a dick. Good performance vs. Marine. Yay. Talent is not the issue.

Just not to a rival.

He didn't get worked out he was played in a different role - which ironically some of our supporters couldn't work out...

Could have done with the odd goal here or there, or even looked like scoring one against;
Everton
Leicester
Brighton
Chelsea (twice)
And many games where 1 wasn't enough.

People used to dismiss Defoe as someone who only scored against weak teams. Then he went and funny enough, we struggled to score against weak teams.

but when you have a player that just provides the odd goal here or there, the sides weaker in the rest of the game because thats all hes there to offer.

its like playing with 10 men but every now and then having a +1 handicap... would rather a stronger mre robust side wouldnt you?

yea thats how i remember defoe to be fair, that coupled with him scoring multiple goals in games he scored. you can only get 3 points a game. thats what makes a striker truly world class imo. how many games you score in is far more important than total number of goals
