Townsend Tweet

Sandy, agree with you apart from your Townsend point. I'm in agreement with the others on here that Townsend has been pretty excellent so far this season. I like Sigurdsson but I still dont think he's good enough to start every game. Let's give this Lamela a run out FFS!!! That's all I ask. I'm almost certain this guy will shine if we give him a run of games. Infact I am 100% sure. It's not about me being desperate for him to star.... It's me knowing he's a quality player through my own eyes for Roma.

Lloris starting in the EL was good, he got his mistakes out of his system on a stage in which he wouldnt be badly criticised for it. That howler he let in vs (I think) Maribor would have been a lot harder for him to get over if it had cost us points in the league.

And I got a friend who is a huge Inter Milan fan and he lives and breathes seria A. He has been raving about this Lamela all of last season hence why I checked him out a few times myself when I went round his a few times. He has more knowledge about him than anyone here I tell you that now. The guy is class and should be starting, end of story.

THUDD

Poyet was an OK player for Spurs. Taricco was OK as well, but like the players mentioned, were only good for maybe 6th/7th place finish, where Spurs will be heading this season, with the players I mentioned previously. Do you seriously think those players frighten the opposition. I doubt it.

Lots of players excel for one team and struggle in another. Im not saying Lamela will struggle in the long run, but he really hasn't done enough for the fans to be demanding a first team place for him. I think its crazy to say "well,he was great for Roma so he has to start" just as much as it is to say "Defoe has scored 7 goals vs Soldado's 2 so Defoe must start".

Though I'm not Rose's biggest fan. Without a fit Rose and Walker, we struggle to stretch play and give guys like Eriksen and Siggy time and space to make those through balls and runs from the midfield.

As for Chiriches. I must be watching a different player to everyone else. He looks like he has 4 or 5 critical errors per game in him right now. Again, not to say he wont improve. But a PL start seams a long way away.

Don't for a second compare Naughton to Tarrico and Siggy to Poyet, football was totally different 10 years ago and we played direct football

Lamela clearly has the talent. If he was ready though I'd expect a much better contribution from him innhos appearances so far.

Even AVB has said he isn't ready, and may take time to settle in. Confirming what most people can see with their own eyes.

. If I was the opposition seeing that lot facing me, would not worry me in the least.
========================

No offence if Iwas a full back and saw Townsend running at me at full tilt, let me tell you, I'll sub myself!

He has been really good and on Sunday actually delivered few good crosses too.

Shame Defoe is 3ft nothing though!
