Adebayor - I am staying with City

The thing I think is lazy is the naïve and incorrect opinion that he is lazy! It is a lazy opinion because it comes from not watching and bandwagon jumping.

For me too often the problem with ade is getting the ball in our own half, getting the ball on the flank or being back on our goal line every corner. In fact the reason he doesn't score is he is not lazy enough and is too often running to extremes to get the ball when at times we have needed someone up front being lazy.

So why do people think he is lazy? Honestly it is because he smiles too much and doesn't do a dickov scowl when he misses. Because he appears not to care at times which personally could just be love of the game he gets called lazy even though he is actually far from lazy.

His laziness is an embarassing footballing cliche of people who act like sheep rather than watching and is an opinion I rate ongside the comical ibra is rubbish opinion.

There we go off my chest at last
 
The whole lazy thing is just something uneducated football "experts" use for alot of the taller strikers, Ibra and Ade being classic examples. Im pretty sure that Adebayor would probably cover more kilometers in a game that Torres or Lionel Messi, but because he has a laconic moving style he is attacked. Cant be bothered arguing with the typical ADE IS LAZY drones anyway.

I don't get what you mean.

By the way, at least Ade is not the laziest player. Crouch is.

How about "doesn't win enough headers?".

Because you know what, he doesn't.


He wins loads of headers, defending set pieces and attacking balls in front of him is as good as any other forward in the league. What he doesn't do well is play the traditional english centre forward role of back to goal having the ball lumped upfield from 60 yards with 2 centre backs ploughing into him from better positions. The rest of the world dont play like this, even Arsenal dont so the first time hes been asked to do it was at City.
If we had a midfield that could pass forward he would be able to receive the ball on the floor and use his pace & skill to get past the defenders.

Hey I agree with you mate, unfortunately I have no say in the tactics we play. Get Mancinio on the phone and tell him to play a different style of play, or by a striker who can win a header with his back to goal. Not one who once we come up against a half decent cente half wins nowt.
