Soldado needs Lamela to adapt and Eriksen to settle, all will be fine after. Patience.
thats if he gets on the fucking pitch...if only AVB could see how well lamela's doing for me in FM...
He is? Wicked. I loved him in The Killing.Little bit funny that the guy there (Joel Kinnaman), is actually a big Spurs fan.
Shit movie though.
If you take into account everything Soldado has going against him at the moment i think he has actually had a good start.
New Country
New League
New Language (basically)
Formation doesn't suit him
Wingers don't cross to him
Opposing teams play 5 yards from their own goal against him
If no one passes you the ball there isn't a huge amount you can do to affect a game. Maybe he could work slightly harder off the ball if we are nitpicking, but i think he has had a solid start and will get better throughout the season, i expected 20 goals from him and he is on course
If we'd forked out 26 million for benteke and he wasn't scoring we could question tactics etc as well as his ABILITY. A bloke who has scored 20 plus for 3 seasons running in a top 3 league needs cunts like u to get off his back and give him some support.. Avb's tactics haven't been suiting him, but when they do and with the fans behind him he will start banging them in..Formation/tactics doesnt suit any of our strikers, but with them we are told they are shit/lazy etc (Defoe this season/Ade last season). They do however go looking for the ball and also create chances for themselves.
Yeah he deserves some slack, but he also deserves a bit of criticism there is no one here who would have imagined he would have only one goal from open play 11 games in when we signed him.
