I actually think that both Pav and Crouch are better players than Defoe. In addition to what I said above, Defoe also tends to bottle it in big games. Both Pav and Crouch, on the other hand, scored some key goals for us in the league and in Europe. How many key goals has Defoe risen to score in important matches? None come to mind off the cuff.Dru said:Its nothing new to me though.
He's a bit like Pav in that he has a good relationship with the fans that seems to gloss over his very obvious (im my eyes) failings.
Since the beginning of last season, Defoe has scored more goals from outside the box than any other player in the Premier League - something like 9.tehTrunk said:distinctly average footballer that offers very little outside of the box...
