first of all let me state this isn't an overreaction to yesterday as we gave it a decent go(in spells) considering the amount of important players we were missing.
but, think it is clear at the moment that defoe won't be getting dropped anytime soon and based purely on his own performances(forgetting the affect him playing has on the rest of the side) he doesn't deserve to be. siggy and demps are struggling to get into games and we have our best striker sitting on the bench, so why not just go -

defoe adebayor
yes it's no longer fashionable but the players know how to play it and it gets the best out of everyone, siggy/demps are getting lost in games and the current 4231 isn't helping that one bit. defoe has always played best with a genuine strike partner and ade has to be playing so why not just go back to basics until we have the players to play avb's preferred system accordingly? ofcourse there will be games where we'll need to thicken it up in midfield but for most games i think the above team gets the best out of the players. we're not a particularly great possession team anymore so lets stop pretending otherwise and build the side around the speed and power we know we do have.
