Keown talks a lot of crap, but I was listening to that commentary live and he said that Soldado's link-up play was better. It was one of the reasons he felt that he was starting ahead of Defoe.
The substitution had already been made at the time and a wayward pass came almost instantly off the back of the comment.
As for Lloris being the best in the league, I think I'd still have to give that to Cech. The French captain is the most suited to our system, though.
That's one of the reasons that I feel we need to bring in at least one keeper in January. Friedel's still good, but he can't play the sweeper keeper role.
