It is all down to perceptions and opinions as I thought penalty aside, Defoe had an excellent game for us playing away from home.Despite the post being a bit extreme and loopy, the point he's making has a grounding in truth.
I counted at least 4/5 oportunities where Defoe just hammered the ball towards goal rather than do something a bit more clever with it.
Defoe was so good early in the season because he was using his brain more. He was more of a team player and giving more in general. The past few games he's looked more like the Defoe of old to me (i.e. a bit of a 1 trick pony).
I know Defoe is the golden boy and no one is allowed to criticise him but if the point is valid then it is worth posting.
