His first thought is always to get a shot at goal, something our current attackers are lacking this season. barrymorrison1, Hilly86, Corky True Legend and 3 others 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeparateEntityMyArse 54,332 Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 We should have 4 forwards. It's no good having one of them in name only, but not really being an option. If he's now considered a coach then he needs replaced in the squad with another forward. MacBoyd, Kaydubya11 and HG5 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The amount of times he had to shoot today from only a slightly wide angle, and held onto the ball too long, or tried to take everyone on, only for the final pass to be shite, was frustrating as fuck!

andyhrfc 2,242 Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 Given the amount of time we spent in and around the Motherwell box Defoe would have had a hat trick today. Hilly86, Bluekev and Corky True Legend 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterD 7,446 Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 He’s pretty much just a coach now. Having a smaller match squad this year and only 3 subs allowed means there’s less room for having someone like him or a youngster on the bench.

JCDBigBear 10,865 Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 I like Defoe but if he isn't a player then he should be off the payroll. Nearly every decent striker can't be taught, it's instinctive play. By all means get them to practice shooting though.

bluenoz 31,311 Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 What a career Jermaine Defoe has had but I wish folk would accept the fact he is more or less finished and will be required on an emergency basis only.

scottyscott1963 18,672 Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 Watched him yesterday throwing and kicking balls before KO and if he's happy being about the squad and we're happy to pay him.

Camshy 812 Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 Think its a good point, Itten was allowed to leave mainly because of the striking numbers......defoe not being used shows there is room. If one or 2 get injured we could be left scrimping and scraping, then defoe gets called in quarter or half way through a season with no games Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was given a coach and "break glass incase of" player contract. Done his preseason as a player, now does his coaching. We had 3 strikers available and playing yesterday.
