Bit harsh on Soldado, he may not of scored alot of goals but his work rate and link up play were second to non.

We will see but I'm not of the same opinion. He is ATM a player who 'runs a'rand a bit' so did Soldado, bless him, sadly putting in effort alone, does not make a player "undroppable".
I hope he plays as he is shown some good things "slotting in seamlessly" is probably a little too 'Sky pundit' for my liking in other words 'overdoing it'.
Janssen is looking OK and looking like a good buy.

Soldado scored three in his first two didn't he?

last season in Holland he really started to score regularly in the second half of the season.
he needs time to adapt to the PL, is doing very well atm imo, and the goals will come in time.
also i think he has the ability to swap places with Harry during the game and drop deep with Harry playing ahead of him. Both offer great flexibility and workrate, things Poch demands, and once they understand each others game i think they will be a real handful and provide genuine goalscoring threats.

He's slotted in seamlessly in terms of the ethos required to play under Poch. He's a goal scorer and whether the goals come sooner or later I'm not concerned about that,they will come. But I'm pleasantly surprised at how good his all round game appears to be, meaning Kane can be rested times or play off the front man. Either way this means less pressure on Kane which can only be a good thing as we have been horribly reliant on him up front for too long and we wouldn't get away with that forever....

Jannsen looks like a good prospect once he settles in, it is all a bit too fast for him ATM, which is understandable.
But why have we moved a player who scored 24 league goals last season to #10?
IMHO it is wrong.
We looked quite disjointed yesterday up front. Its an 'either or' for the 'majority' of matches for me.
It was good enough last season so why change it?

He looks more likely to score at the moment than Harry does.

apart from a handful of games no more disjointed than we tend to look imo.
why change? id say to make the opposition think a bit more. We were becoming predictable in our line up and tactics and eventually opposing managers will find ways to keep us from scoring, especially with all the modern analysis techniques and tools.
i like how Poch is also using Lamela more on the left too, as i mentioned earlier Janssen also swapped with Harry yesterday, i also think we will see Janssen occupy the left wide forward role at times during games, Lamela i expect to see in behind Harry also.
this fluidity in movement and positions from the players is what will take us to a higher level imo. It will take time to implement, but once the players crack it we will see true total football in the forward positions

Even when Harry played up top against Everton last week he didn't look like scoring, and that was with a supposedly better line up behind him.

I think that it is something that we have consistently done well under Poch. It will take a little while for a new player to settle into this but it isn't something new. Increased competition is of course welcome and should help keep our players fresh.

David Ginola
But that was one game!
Harry scored 24 goals last season and yes we need backup and flexibility. But that does not mean change for change sake which yesterday smacked of.
This will also come to a head when Dembele returns to our midfield. Do we drop Eric? (for another thread maybe)

Harry has runs like that. In the past they haven't lasted too long

Luka Modric
And how many has janssen played?

David Ginola
How many games has he scored for Spurs?
Harry is our number 1 striker.
Would you make Aguero play number #10 because you bought a new forward.

Luka Modric
Every striker has.
It's understandable why Harry is struggling a bit. Janssen has been brought in to take some of the load off Harry, let him get in with it.
