Amazing how better our players get when they're not playing.
Didn’t watch him against us both time last season? Bossed the game in both of them.To be honest i never noticed or thought he was a good player and i wondered why we had bought him, however he has not had a REAL chance to show what he can do. Lets hope he can do that next season.

And about 10 offsides.Always the same. Always thought Defoe was the classic example of this. He'd spend a month on the bench and fans would forget that, aside from purple patches, he needed 5 chances to get 1
Doesn't really matter how many chances a player needs, goals scored is what is important. Being in the right place to get the chance in the first place is half the battle, having the confidence to keep on getting yourself in a position to score even after missing a few is another important thing and some strikers start hiding after missing a couple of chances (Soldado was a classic example of that sort of player)Always the same.

He scored a commensurate amount of goals for his ability level…. A very good striker who was a level down on the top echelon like Harry KaneDefoe didn't score enough goals given the chances he got and the numbers he actually got.

He's got a similar goals to game ratio as Sheringham, Yorke, Keane, Anelka.Defoe didn't score enough goals given the chances he got and the numbers he actually got.

A couple of levels down but yeah he did alright for his ability level. It's not a level that would be enough now or was truly at the time hence this reduced minutes.He scored a commensurate amount of goals for his ability level….

3 of the 4 you mention were support strikers. As Defoe was an out and out striker that kind of helps my argument. [emoji28]He's got a similar goals to game ratio as Sheringham, Yorke, Keane, Anelka.

Good to see him on the bench yesterday, can be a big part of our team/squad next season under a new manager that can get the best of him and when he is 100% fit
Forgot about him to be honest i thought at the time why did we buy him and that it was a strange signing ( never really stood out when i saw him). However lets hope he gets some time on the pitch before the end of the season.
