Only because his ass and shoulders make him a mobile wall

Yep, and he's a very fast mobile wall.

Just been watching some highlights of the Arsenal game on Sunday and Spurs were always looking to play the ball behind the defence with Bale or Lennon running past the defenders, this worked very well for them, it's how they scored both there goals, and I worry about them trying it against the lack of pace in Agger and Carragher. Maybe it was so effective because Arsenal just can't defend, and we're much better organised and much tighter at the back, it's still a big worry though!

The first goal Bale timed his run well to beat the offside trap, but the second was shocking. The arsenal left back let lennon go and vermin didn't even look. But they kept Bale quiet for most of the match.

I wouldn't say spoiled.
One or two injuries and we're pretty much fucked. Say Sturridge and Suarez.

I was exaggerating for effect. But my point still stands. When is the last time we had a dilemma over who we should drop from our front men?

And us doing the same will be key.

I wouldn't mind a setup that swaps Henderson and Downing around; using Henderson to try and shadow Bale, and Downing to exploit gaps behind Lennon. While this is less adventurous, I think it helps to contain Bale and reduces the chance of them drawing first blood - we aren't too good at coming back from a deficit this season. We could play Coutinho instead of Downing, which would give us a bit more unpredictability and adventure in attacking, but I don't know if he'll be able to keep match Lennon for pace/strength when falling back to defend.

I thought Defoe was out??

He played about 25 mins against Arsenal. If he is fit enough to start he will as Adebayor has been horrible.

Just how good Spurs would again have been if they had a proper striker? I thought they did excellent business when they got Ade but they just can't get it right. It's like us and wingers.
 
Yup, Defoe returned as a sub against the Gunners, and Adebayor was poor and also got hurt against the Gunners.

Not sure what happened to Adebayor - after a 17 goal 11 assist season, you'd think he'd do the business again. If Spurs had a top level striker, I think Bale wouldn't have had to score so many and he wouldn't now be buried by the spunk from English commentators and journo's,
 
I thought Allen looked decent enough against Wigan. Definitely put in a hard shift and helped win the midfield.

The only call to make his swap with Henderson. The rest of the team should stay as it is. Coutinho has to start.
 
If we can get our first team out there, I think we'll murder them. Mark Bale out of it and they're a bottom half team.

Incredibly naïve. Dembele, Lennon, Thor, Defoe and Dempsey are all great players.

My comment still stands, if Bale hadn't been 'bale-ing' them out all season they'd be royally fucked.
Lennon is fucking wank btw
I'm not sure how you can call Dempsey great either, but hey ho.

They'd still be ahead of us, it's too easy to jump on the Bale bandwagon, they have a very good side. Dempsey didn't accidentally score all those goals last season, he's very good, stop being naïve.

yeah but he's not 'great' though Mystic, that's what he was saying.
 
In Parker, Dembele and Sigurdsson, they have a better midfield than ours. Dembele is a superb player.
 
I keep having this dream. Lucas gives away a stupid free kick with one of his crude attempts to tackle. Monkey Boy fires the free kick into the top corner out of reach of Pepe's flailing hands. Monkey Boy is dancing around, chattering and scratching his armpits in front of the Spurs fans.

That's a nightmare, a truly awful nightmare.

Yep and Dawson+Verthongen have been very solid at the back(especially the latter who is a gem of a player), not to mention Lloris who has been the best keeper in the league in the games I've seen.

Overall they have a better team than most give them credit for and if they could add a prolific striker into the mix I believe they could even challenge the top two.
 
If they want to challenge for the the title, they need to stop selling their best player. They're building a solid squad and getting good value for the money they've raised, but recent history shows that every time they've developed or showcased their star player, they're happy to sell him on for a tidy sum at peak value, and then spend it on improving the squad and betting on the next promising player to develop and resell. Berbatov, Modric, Bale (soon), maybe Eriksen / Damiao is next.

Yeah I don't believe they will be challenging for the title anytime soon either(it's far from impossible though). Just saying the team is that good at the moment it is just one player short of being a real challenger.
