In a word -Yes. He has a better all round game than Adebayor who in my opinion has struggled this season with Poch's tactics and formation, also Soldado seems to play better when Kane is along side him. Harry is our top scorer at the moment and deserves a regular place in the starting eleven not just Europa league and domestic cup games. I suspect Poch doesn't want to play 4-4-2 and instead goes with a lone striker but although we have the extra man in midfield this doesn't work and when we play two up front the whole team seems more effective and even more so when we play with natural wingers like Lennon and Townsend.
It would be nice to see, just want us to be a bit more fluid/varied in the attacking third.
It seems like being a traditional winger is out of vogue these days when ironically it is what our strikers strive on.
For example, yesterday we saw Lennon on the left and Townsend on the right, I'd stick Townsend on the left so he would try and go wide rather than attempt to cut inside everytime.
Having Lennon on the left is like being down to ten men. He seems to lack confidence when he's out there.
One real issue is fitness. At around 75 minutes he was stretching out and his attempts at arial duelling beyond then was worrying, particularly as he was the main "out", along with a really ineffective Adebayor.
