I'm with those about Defoe. Defoe has played very very well this season, but he's never worked up on his own, not once this season have we looked amazing BECAUSE of him leading the line, always in spite of. It's just bizarre AVB sticks with it, exactly what I knew would happen when we didn't buy a striker in the summer is happening, worse actually, my fear was even playing Defoe to rest ade or if ade got injured, but instead Defoe is paying every game. IT DOES NOT WORK, IT'S NEVER WORKED, IT NEVER WILL WORK!
It's frightening. I really hope ade stops being a ****, and AVB stops being so stubborn, and then we'll stop being so flat pretty much every game when we have nothing to aim for with a cross, or a punt up, or to hold. Play and bring in our other attacking players. ANYTHING!
Ps this isn't an attack on Defoe, he's been brilliant this season, it's just him in this formation. This also isn't attacks with the way we are playing, I can see what we are trying to do, and I think it's impressive, it's just this lone striker.
