barry are you for real? Defoe no composure and a hit and hope merchant? come off it.
He showed ample composure to run from our half, round the keeper and slot in last night. Not to mention the wonderfully composed finishes against Wigan, the first two against Hull among others.
Defoe is no longer 'shift n shoot' imo, he shifts, looks, plays a pass and then receives it before slotting it.
He's certainly a hell of a lot better than he was. But he does still have a habit of making a beeline for the goal and then just hammering it. When it works, great, when it doesn't not so good.
There were a number of instances in the game yesterday where he just smacked it directly at the keeper where if he had just taken a second and engaged his brain he might have placed it better.
