To me today he didn't look himself. Is it possible the events of the last week have got to him. Wouldn't blame him if it has shaken him up a fair bit. Job done if this has been object of the whole thing.
This is nonsense!
He's simply not fit.
Shouldn't be unexpected, he's not played in several weeks and been on holiday!
If Defoe hadn't been injured I think he would have started, we were forced into starting a not fully match fit player!
