Who are these idiots?

Maybe these idiots are the people who recognise the fact that Defoe doesn't have the strength to compete one on one with the clodhoppers of the split,unlike Alfie 👍

Genuinelly cannot comprehend why people would play Lafferty ahead of Defoe in a 4-5-1. Defoe is about 5 classes above Lafferty in every department except height. 

 

Defoe has spent his career playing against the likes of Vidic, Ferdinand, Terry, Carragher and numerous others. A fair few fucking times upfront on his own. 

He might not be as strong as Morelos but his football brain is twice as good as Alfredo. Lafferty should not be anywhere near the starting 11 tomorrow. 

Defoe was playing against quality professionals, not hammer thowers and against teams who didn't have ten men behind the ball. Defoe doesn't have the brute strength of Morelos, but he has guile and great technical ability. The midfield have to step up to support the Defoe style of play and that is getting the ball to him quicker. No long protracted build up play giving the oppo time to rebuild the Berlin wall.

I also think Lafferty would be good foil for him, but again the ball needs played forward quicker.
