Repugnant Toad said:Unfortunately, Rooney is totally unsuited to the lone striker role; his game is about dropping off and picking the ball up from deep - a lone striker needs to lead the line and hold the ball up. Without Defoe, we're f***ed.

He had a shit season, but apparently he was looking pretty good in training etc before the tournament... I know its not the real thing, but surely you would have to take Defoe ahead of Walcott...

If I was in Svens position then I would have picked Bent instead of both of them but left with the choice of Walcott and Defoe id have Walcott, Waclott is an unknown quantity and probably the fastest player on our side where as Defoe has had an awful season.

ChapmansThe Saviour said:I like the fact that we took Walcott and would be far more exicted to see him come off the bench than Defoe who I don't rate at all.

I know I wouldn't.

ChapmansThe Saviour said:Yeah maybe but the risk at the time was worth it I reckon considering our depth in attacking midfielders. I do think Sven took the amount of attacking midfielders he did because he didn't think Defoe or Bent could perform at that level which think is a fair enough move.

enigma said:Okay, I can see your point with Bent, but I literally cant see why anyone would take a 17 year old with no premiership experience ahead of Defoe. Pace is useful but not the be all and end all, dont you think International defenders will know how to defend against it?
Defoe did have a bad season, but Robbie Keane was also brilliant. What is they say, form is temporary, class is permanent? Defoe is the most similar in style to Owen and should have gone ahead of Walcott.
Even Sven cant rate Walcott that highly, he hasnt had a single minute so far. I know people will talk about circumstances in games, but to not have played a minute so far says it all.
