Lol at Nasri coming on after 87 minutes btw. **** must have thought Mancini would have the same patience for his dry spells as Wenger did.
Not sure about his career being 'ruined', after all he did win the league title and made a decent contribution for City last season. But I certainty think he could have progressed more as a player if he had stayed here. We would have played him in that Cesc role and he would have done well. Although, I still think his fundamental problem is that he keeps the ball for too long and slows down whatever team he is playing for.
he would walk into out midfield no question Anyone see Balotellis Milan Debut or A Madrid vs Betis, Diego Costa was spat at but the ref missed it
Maybe. The ****, Ade is coming back from the ACON after Togo were knocked out, so they have him. But he has not been great form this season, and Defoe's form has tailed off. It's certainty their weak spot, and hopefully Levy not getting them another forward will come back and bite them in the arse.
I think the fact that they are so reliant on bale is more of an issue, if he gets injured or has a dip in form they could really struggle.
They can't allow Bale to get injured which is why he has been told to stop throwing himself on the floor every 5 minutes. At least until Spring when the ground is a bit softer!
The striker department is our big weakness but we are lucky that Ade is coming back just as Defoe is injured. Having said that neither have contributed much in recent games and we have still done ok and yes Bale has made the difference, but now there is the Holtby factor which may have a bigger bearing on what happens than is apparent right now. This is a better tougher more organised Spurs than last season so we can't draw too many conclusions from then as to what will happen now.
