PLAYER WATCH: Soldado

[beats1]

I am not having any of that!! So how did Kane score? What about previous games??

Kane had a poor game imo, but he scored from a corner and had 2 shots, one from our only decent passing from the AM 3 and the other when swansea were knackered

Edit: the rest of the was worse, Im not just saying he was poor, he was the best of a bad bunch imo

 

[ilikeost]

He hardly got a kick today - I like him as a player and support him but we do not make it easy for him - he didn't have a single chance created for him today.

To lay the blame at the feet of the rest of our players for Soldado being shit again is total bullshit. Soldado doesn't do enough to put himself in situations where he might get a pass, he hardly fights for any balls or make runs when the midfield is on the ball.

 

[carpediem991]

He was not existent. Worse than that: We played him the ball and it just bounced to a defender of Swansea.

 

[thfc1989]

Not cut out for the premiership. He is worse than Roman Pavlyuchenko. That says a lot.

No offence today he didn't however we never had the ball long to make one of those balls

It's not even about what he does with the ball, there are days as a striker when you don't get a kick. His work rate and attitude was fucking pathetic though and that is down to him. You at least see people like Kane and Lamela trying their best, hassling and chasing down and looking as if they are giving 100%. This guy ambled about looking gormless, did no closing down and treated the little ball he saw as a hot potato.

And this isn't the first time that his work rate has been absolutely abysmal, to be honest it was laughable that earlier in the season one of the reasons for him being in the team was that he would work hard and apparently cared and showed passion. Total bollocks.

This isn't about soldado but if we gave Bony that service I believe it would of ended int he same outcome, i.e. ball bouncing off defender

Bony has thrived on through balls from his midfield and no long ball punts

The reason I say this isn't about soldado, is because I don't know whether signing Bony would fix things despite being the best striker we could get

Not aggressive enough for EPL....I hate to cut players off but our squads bloated with ineffective players. Kane made him look a dummy.

 

[Shea]

am convinced that anyone still defending him must be related in some way. i don't know if i can make it to january if he keeps playing.

The only defense left for Poor Bobby now is this

I agree his work rate was shocking today

Bony makes defenders shit their pants because he is constantly causing a problem either with his strength or his movement. Soldado on the other hand must be the least frightening striker to be up against, weak, no particular pace and is more likely to fire the ball into the parking lot when he shoots at goal.

He does have pace and strength but he thrives on through ball to utilise those attributes but its something which we cant do to save our lives

I cant remember us putting any decent through balls

I watched this kid more than anyone on this forum and always felt he would be the one to make it, however that AM couldn't the ball for shit today and he pressed better than anyone but he didn't keep the ball well either

I feel sorry for the kid, he should be developing rather than that I think he is in this insane situation, where he has gone in 8 months from U21's to the most important player in the our first team where "millions" pounds of talent is looking at him to be our match winner

Don't worry Adebayor will be back juju free

Fuck that we need 2 new strikers but I don't think we will find a striker that will suit our needs tbh

Bony will cost £20m plus and liverpool will be sniffing as well but how would he do in a team with little creativity, doesnt play like a team and have less space than that is given to swansea.

He was having a field day between Fazio and Walker or Vertonghen and Davies

 

[spursfan77]

He didn't even work hard today. Not even sure if he broke sweat.

If we could move him on and bring in any striker in January then we'd be stronger.

Soldado is just the wrong kind of player for the Prem, just like Postiga a decade before him.

We missed the boat on selling him off last summer, now we're stuck with him and LAME-la who are just not physical enough, sharp enough or fast enough for the league we play in.

Lamela has been almost as lame as your attempt at word play.

Soldado must be on £80,000 a week........................no way will he be wanting to leave........at his age,we are his pension fund.
