Now don't get me wrong Roberto should be burying some of the chances he has had of recent and i'm almost certain he will go on a scoring run very soon. He does need to start to getting on the scoring sheet (from open play) in the prem but boy has he oozed class since Sherwood has taken over. I think a few people were comparing him to Darren Bent in that if he dosen't get the ball fed to him then he does nothing. That couldn't be further from the truth because the guys work rate is fantastic and he is such an intelligent footballer. He is twice the footballer of Darren Bent.
He has been involved in almost all of our goals since Sherwood has taken over and got so much more of the ball than he did under AVB. Roberto is not a lone striker but thrives with a partner like Adebayor and within time i think these 2 could be a pretty lethal partnership. I know certain supporters will come on here saying how much stick Defoe would get if he was missing the chances Roberto is and that is probably true but Defoe when not scoring is pretty hopeless. Roberto Soldado when not scoring is still helping the team immensely and playing really well. Hopefully Roberto will eventually get going because i think he's a great player that just needs to get a bit of a run going infront of goal. Thoughts?

Don't know about "oozing class". Simply looking good with some good moments but far from spectacular.

Suarez is oozing class. So is Hazard. So has Rooney for much of the season. I'd hardly say a couple of good chances created in a few games means Soldado is oozing class.

He's a far more complete footballer than I thought he was. He has demonstrated wonderful vision and passing which I didn't think was a big part of his game.
I really feel that if he can get a couple of goals and raise his confidence he could be a lethal striker.

Why doesn't Defoe get a chance. He'll score goals.

I like Defoe, but he's never scored goals consistently.

Well he cost twice as much so that's the least we could expect
I'm really glad he's playing with a bit more vigor now than a few weeks ago. I expect the goals to start flowing as well

Don - Soldado's pass to Lennon a diagonal through the Man Utd. defence into their area was sublime as good a pass you will see !!

He could be our new Sheringham, linking up play and creating chances for others.
At first I thought he was more of a Lineker type but his finishing has been ordinary so far, but the goals will come I am sure, just needs a bit of luck.
