A little argument between me and our Spurs-loving friend. Who's the better striker?
Got some facts for you.
Defoe - 1405 minutes, 9 goals, 1 assist
Baros - 932 minutes, 8 goals, 1 asisst ( he also outscored Defoe, and everyone else, in Euro 2004. But don't let me sway you..)

It's hardly suprising when your judgement on a player can't stretch beyond how many goals he has scored and whether they were 30 yard screamers or tap-ins.
Look at the bigger picture, there's more to it. I mean are you seriously telling me that if Ade Akinbiyi scored from 40 yards and Defoe from 2 that makes him a better player? Thats where your argument fails.
Oh and for the record, Baros.

KOPKING, are you the guy at Anfield who wears that "Liverpool Suit" with 1000's of 'pool badges on?

Both are quality players but its pretty obvious that Baros is a better player. He's got everything pace, power, strength, determination, a helluva shot,tricks and as we seen against Newcastle has now learned to pass. Defoe shares some of these qualitys but I think its safe to say Defoe is never going to be world class Baros will be.
Defoe hands down. He's an incredible player imo.
Excellent.

Let me end this by saying this is completely unfair and bias...
BAROS!!!
BAROS!!!
Hardly played? He didn't even make the squad, heh.
And, as for "you all hate me"..what AJ said is the truth, basically.

However, these particular stats don't take into account: strength of oppo, strength of goalie, type of goal, position of shot, etc.
I would reckon Baros has scored more deflected shots and tap-ins than Defoe has.
Euro 04 is also an unfair piece of data, because Defoe hardly played and England got knocked out earlier and the strengths of the national teams are different.

No, it's not about having a thing against you. It's about having a thing against your extreme bias towards Spurs, neglecting the fact that there might actually be other teams in the league. Other people are actually a lot more realistic, and therefore people argue with you.
And on this subject, right now Baros is better. Stats prove it.
