Funnily enough i don't think Adebayor is a lazy or selfish player. Infact, he always works hard. I just think that he's a streaky player. One day nothing sticks and he miscontrols simple shots and balls, but on another day he will be Bergkampesque.
I don't think he makes particularly intelligent runs either a lot of the time. Sometimes he works too hard, he moves around too much outside the box leaving nobody in it. He could do with just lurking around the penalty spot more often like e.g. Diego Costa does.
Too often Ade comes deep or wide to get involved in the build-up and leaves the box vacant. Chadli's runs from deep have helped this situation somewhat this season, but I actually think if Ade was more selfish and less hard working he'd actually be a better player.
