All the so called 'bigger' clubs, apart from Real Madrid play a high intensity pressing game. No manager who demands his players play this way will sign him. When we all thought he was a cert for PSG they got Emery as their manager, who also plays the pressing game. Maybe there is only Juve left.

Interesting to hear that only Aguero and Kane have scored more league goals this calendar year than... Defoe.
I think that speaks volume for the heart and desire of younger players.
Even at his peak Defoe was still not considered as an elite striker, and he has had a semi retirement spell in canada!
Players just don't seem bothered these days.

Is this supposed to be satire? Talking about heart a desire and using an older player who went for a pay day in Canada and mentioning a young player who is one of the top strikers in the league....
Even just going on the WhoScored ratings [not foolproof, obviously] all the players in top 10 are under 28.

ABSOLUTELY POOR. If you put a great team around him though, he will be unstoppable. The service to him needs to be much better for him to thrive consistently because he struggles to create on his own.

A system leaving the attacking to 3 players, Mirallas, Bolasie and Lukaku is going to see barely anything stick up top, especially when all we tried to do was hoof it up to Lukaku with no movement off him.
Koeman has to settle on an attacking system that works or this will continue.

I stopped counting at 20 with this. He controlled it about 20% of the time.
I get its not his fault as he has ping pong shins and we simply shouldn't be playing him that way, but he doesn't help himself either with his complete lack of movement and non-existent effort to be a team player. He's part of that unit, he's responsible for it being poor, but he just blames everyone else around him whilst standing still and doing nothing but losing the ball over and over and over again.
