Not a single post about his goal last night? Classic Soldado goal. High hopes.
He isn't suited to leading the line when the onus is on him. Much better as a compliment to an attacking unit. His finish was class though, regardless if it was his third touch of the half.He looked really pleased and thats always a good sign, but what frustrates me is that he is so dependent on everyone else.
See when Kane came on, I saw a striker on the pitch. Creating, moving, backtracking, shooting.
Even with the goal, Im still struggling with the fact that Soldado played over 80 minutes last night. He has very little work ethic, and it could be as little as running 2 meters to stop a counter attack, chase down a keeper or stop a defender clearing the ball.
He just doesnt do it, and it effects everything we do going forward.
I have no doubt in my mind, we would have been better off keeping Defoe.

I went right back to page one of this thread. We were all madly excited about Bobby signing. Madly. Took us nearly 25 pages to sign the fucker so we should have known it'd take time for him to settle.
Granted, I dont think he's gotten nearly close to the 50 la liga goal machine we'd hoped for. Barely scratched the surface. But we need to rekindle the EXCITEMENT we once had for this guy. We're stuck with him for all intents and purposes until January at the earliest.
Show him we love him. Sing his name. Try until we cant any more!!!!! Support him like we do the manager. Fucking hell I AM ABSOLUTELY DESPERATE FOR HIM TO SCORE GOALS AND I DONT KNOW WHY. COME ON BOBBY!!!!!!!!!!!! UP THE SPURS!!!!!
While that Instagram joker twat is - game after game?He's probably not going to be given the chance to turn things around now, b
Is that down to service though?
His run drew the defender out for Harry Kane's goal.

He spent the night making clever runs, was hoping he would be allowed to play the 90 minutes but I suppose Pochettino was thinking he'd get a confidence boost from the applause.
There is no room for passengers full stop.No because Kane suffers from the exact same service. Soldado does not work hard enough to be good in the PL.
There is no room for passengers unless they have exceptional skill, strength and or speed
