I said on Twitter a while ago that it could be the start of something beautiful.
I will be ramming #Adedado down people's throats. Very excited about this.

here I am positively buzzing about his performance and then there is the stuff you've written above. Interesting how different people see a game.

Soldado always explodes with joy when we score too. The goals will come, id rather he was in the right place to miss them over not even making runs.

If he's getting the rest of the team scoring goals I couldn't give a monkeys if he doesn't score again this season.

I would've thought if he's scoring more goals his confidence will only improve along with his all round play.

Sorry mate, that was a sitter. He couldn't even get his foot to it, it came off his knee. Poor, very poor. He'll come good though

Watch him in this gif. How quick must his brain work to see the guy has got Ade covered then turns and puts through lennon. All in a matter of seconds.

To now know he's got this in his locker and still have all of the amazing potential he has to score to come. I'm very excited. Ade/Soldado will be on a par with SAS and Aguero/Negredo, I'm sure of it.Watch him in this gif. How quick must his brain work to see the guy has got Ade covered then turns and puts through lennon.

I think the way he was being played before really shook his confidence.
Not only was he new to the prem, he was also being isolated and starved on top of that.
I totally understand why he's been a bit shaky.
Yet, he's used his penalty taking mastery to etch up a little tally of goals and has kept it all ticking over.
The word for soldado is: soon.

Possibly the best change in Soldado's game is that he is playing with his head up and taking time on the ball. Now when he receives it he doesn't do a "Darren Bent" and play a backwards pass instantly. He takes it, moves into space and looks for the movement. This has completely changed his usefulness in the team and having more players up there to make the runs has brought out this quality.
Anyone who sees his penalties this year and pretty much any of his dozen volleys from last seasons knows the boy can finish, and I have every faith he'll start to from more situations. If he can continue to improve his build up play (which will also come from players making more and better runs around him), start scoring from inside and outside the box, we'll have a huge star up front.

I just like intelligent footballers

Actually I like intelligent anything (except 'design'). 'Stupid' is waaaaay overated.

What have you been smoking? Ade/Soldado on a par with Aguero/Negrdo. You having a laugh?

That's my belief.
If Ade continues the way he is and doesn't revert to type and if solly starts to score as well as produce great support/creative play then that is not a wild estimation at all.
Especially if they both, in turn, are getting the creative support they need.
I usually put my faith and trust in talented players. Odd concept on here, I know....

Unfortunately, he has missed a few sitters now. I'm still hoping to see much more from him.
