Adebayor was the same as well, except there was wind, well Im guessing there was since he struggled to shoot when he was throughI think Chadli seems to have a proper striker's understanding and anticipation which is why he's getting in good positions for goals. That's invaluable. Getting a good run in the team seems to be really benefitting him in that.
But I agree with 'better off than on' - watching him run on the counter today was like watching someone mime walking against a strong wind...
Soldado misses way too many chances for my liking. Adebayor is better, I accept he is not playing well at the moment but he brings more to the table. Soldado is food to defenders.
This season so far its Kane, though he hasn't been absolutely stellar.
To be honest for home games I'd like to see us go back to the Adebayor & Kane partnership that we saw at the end of last season. Both can alternate between the 9 and 10 roles and they struck up a good understanding and gave us a presence and threat in the box from crosses.
Ade Akinbiyi? hahaFekk me, at least Soldado gets in a position to miss a chance, i have no idea what Ade you are watching mate.
We need a poor man's AgueroThey're all missing something. Kane looks like a good finisher but his hold up play isn't that great; Soldado has an incredible touch but goes missing in games up top on his own; Adebayor has regressed so tremendously that I'm not sure what he's good for anymore but if he gets back on form then he's the halfway point between Kane and Soldado.
We really need a striker in January.

Townsend needs to lose some confidence and Soldado needs to gain some. If only there was some way to swap between them.Soldado is the best striker at the club but he has never recovered from the clusterfuck of the first half of last season, where he probably was passed to about 3 times in 10 games.
I still think he ticks all the boxes if he can find a bit of confidence and form.
Who would you drop of Eriksen, Chadli and Lamela ?
I could see Eriksen being put back on the left where TS played him, Kane as no 10 and Lamela on the right. However Eriksen seems to have been off form this season whereas Chadli has been on better form.
Instinctively I'm not sure I really like Chadli, Kane, :Lamela as the 3 AM's for some reason...
