Few things

Anyway caaants injured so who gives a fack

Dr Nick will them fit in 12 months

If Lamela wasn't 30 million nobody would be up in arms that he isn't playing and the media wouldn't bring it up. Compare it to Sandro when he joined, he was about 8m and took about 6 months to adapt and nobody was bothered.

Given time he'll adapt and i'm sure he'll come good. With Sherwood on this that i'd rather him play when he can contribute than be 'half cooked'

Hard one with lamela. I can see why the management haven't been persistent with him. He's not exactly set the league alight. Lennon offers more atm and we can't really afford to sit and wait to find out if lamela is up to it. He should of taken his chances when he had it...Lennon is proven and I think eriksen needs all the game time he can get. Still hope he makes it though... You can see the qualitys there

Townsend - incredibly direct, positive, slightly selfish but is a constant threat and will work for 90 mins

Lennon - Less effective, dangerous in the final 3rd, and has worked on his defensive side, excellent away from home in a counter attacking team , like Townsend his final ball is questionable

Chadli - Inverted is his game. Tall, two footed. Not seen enough to have him in my top 4 wingers. Squad/impact player

Lamela - Our most technical 'wide' player. Loves to drift inside, rarely takes a player on down the outside, more an AM/CAM in the Eriksen mould. Very weak, would like to see him on a more natural left handed side to offer a direct route

Not worried too much about the forward situation. We have adebayor, soldado and kane. Lamela, chaldi, eriksen and sigurddson can play as a support striker if you will. We also have the luxury of Chadli and dembele who can both play up top as a stand alone forward.

Soldado will come good we have to play to his strengths though.

It annoys me soldado seems to attract criticism yet adebayor who is now playing to nearer his potential is not criticised. At least soldado tries ade never tries unless he wants to.

Always hoping for the best with spurs we are still up there so if we get a bit luck who knows what will happen.

Yeah no worries in the ST department like LLM says, Lamela, Chadli, siggy can all play in behind.

I think Sherwood would prefer Chadli middle eriksen left which is the opposite to their supposed best positions

Thudd, I don't care if it was only Sherrif mate, he looked bloody brilliant that game then AVB dropped him against Newcaslte for all we know he could of kick started his career from then on but instead we pushed him back further by playing him against City. Townsend made his name and got his chance because of a decent Europa performance against some 2nd rate team so why didn't Lamela?

I agree it was silly to drop him vs newcastle.

However it was only Sheriff, and it wasnt that good a performance. Holtby, Defoe, Chadli, Soldado, Paulinho and Townsend have all put in better performances in Europe.

Nah lamela's performance was incredible that game

Incredible is way OTT analog it was decent 30 mins in second half.

Done nothing of note 1st half.

Yes should of played V Newcastle but you need to accept he's far down in the pecking order ATM and he needs to have patience.
