Defoe doesn't give a f**k

I've watched every game, not scoring goals doesn't mean he's not trying, people talk some rubbish on here
Same shite all the time. People are gutless, spineless etc whenever we aren't winning. You'd think it would've dawned on people that we just aren't very good.

I've been arguing that point for years, like you say it's the same thing with this players not trying bollocks. Some can't seem to grasp that we just aren't very good
 
This.
15 goals in an absolute shower of a side and people are having a go at him! No wonder players don't give a fuck about the fans when they'll turn on them at drop of a hat.
Scoring 15 goals in a shit team doesn't necessarily mean you've given 100% in every game.In the mind of someone clueless,maybe.
 
These last few months have stopped him becoming an absolute legend in my eyes.:(

This. He is no legend.

Just because a player goes through a drought doesn't mean he's downed tools. People talk rubbish on here

No it doesn't. But not moving off the ball, not closing the defenders down, not getting back onside quickly when the ball goes downfield all mean you've downed tools.

At £80K a week for the last three months he is no loss at all.

People are clueless on here like, Defoe is know loss at all!! Up there with one of the most stupid comments put on here ever
 
Of course mate you can't be reliant on just one player, it's more the sudden turn against him from other fickle fans that gets me



Now that's a balanced sensible post imo.

When we see how shit we have become and Defoe has been part of it, he's not totally exempt from criticism, exactly the same for Bent and SKP when they were here.
In it together, you cannot just look at past form and ignore everything else.

No fair enough mate, think we on a different page here, I think he is very good professional who has performed well overall for us and looking at the bigger picture as done very well overall.

My grip is for the posters who in the past have heaped praise after praise for him compared him to the best strikers in the league etc etc, even called him a legend (he has been here 2 years!) then the moment it is clear he is leaving all of the sudden well he was not that good anyway,it happened with Bent the same way no balance.
 
Not trying pisses supporters off more than anything.You clearly don't agree.
How are they not trying? We lost 2-0. If they weren't trying it would be 5s,6s and 7s every week man. We are a poor poor side.
The goals we conceded were an individual error from Pickford (who's been excellent this season) and a fantastic strike from their lad. Neither were down to lack of effort.
 
Ties in with the rise of the internet there Jards. The two may be intrinsically linked. In my opinion, they undoubtedly are. Shall we discuss?
Certainly got a point maxi but also the new stadium brought with it a lot of 'new' fans who were used to relative success in its first few seasons. It seems if lads don't measure up to likes of Quinn and Phillips they aren't given lickings of dog whenever a lull in form occurs.
