Adebayor hits back at critics
-
Emmanuel Adebayor has responded to criticism of his finishing by insisting he has improved since joining Arsenal and will work even harder next season.
The Togolese striker produced a number of inspirational performances last season but was frustrating in equal measure as he missed a lot of good opportunities.
He accepts that he could have scored more goals but claims there is no need for fans to worry.
"I need to work on my finishing, but I'm not so s**t in front of goal," he told Four Four Two magazine.
"I was a good player when I joined Arsenal but I'm better now.
"I'm learning loads, I have more maturity and I feel I'm getting better and better.
"I've missed a lot of good chances but I'm working hard to improve my goal record."
Adebayor is looking to learn from Thierry Henry and has consulted his Arsenal team-mate for advice.
"You can't just watch Thierry 100 times and copy it, you must communicate," he explained.
"Thierry tells me where and when to run, how to score one on one." -
its not thierry.
he is just not as good as kanu.

But I liek his workrate. Very determined too. I hope he'll be better than Kanu nxt season

again, it's the finishing
in the past, we could rely on pires to get that additional 10 goals. freddie and reyes would have contributed too.
now i look at the team, you can't help but feel peck chek
especially last season when both RVP and Henry were out, our finishing was diabolical
I remember cesc missing a sitter right in front of goal.
at that point, i gave up
that being said, i hope Walcott will come good next season

I saw some of Walcott's finishing, he looks the part of the natural goalscorer. However, less season his excuse was that he was hampered by a shoulder injury. Let's see whether he will come good. The only fault i can find is his built. Too slightOriginally posted by felirox:yeah from this article Walcott is the top scorer for the eng U-21 squad..right?? its easy for defender to push him off..
But
they must catch him first though
-
He is speedy, he can dribble, he has height, ifhe work on his heading and finishing, he would be greater than kanu
