    If only Torres and Ba had the good fortune to be cogs in the well-oiled AVB/Sherwood goalscoring machine.

    On previous reputation Eto and Torres where both viewed as world class at various points but if we're talking present day then Adebayor is quite clearly the best striker at any London club. Although Adebayor has never had back to back seasons of performing at a high level so he will never fulfil his targets in football........ Unless the main one was to help his charity grow and be viewed as a king in his homeland :p

    I'd never want Arsenal to win. Never, ever. There's nothing in the world you could give me that would make me cheer for them.

    Thank for your support though!

    Not too sure what the underlying meaning is tbh. He's a difficult character to read that Sherwood, got a real poker face, if he feels he deserves more praise for what he's achieved....why bemoan the 'hand he's dealt' later in the piece.

    A parked bus with open doors, is that not how you'd describe Cardiff and Fulhams defences!...worrying comment or BS, you never know with him.

    I take it to mean that we should appreciate the fact that he has picked up a dealt hand and...........dealt with it! I think a lot of us do appreciate his efforts and I think the media have given him a fairly easy ride so far. Most of what is written about football is bullshit so perhaps he is just adding his bullshit to the mix.


    Hmm! bullshit mix not too appetising. :wink:

    TEAM! Lloris; Naughton, Dawson, Kaboul, Vertonghen; Bentaleb, Sandro; Walker, Lennon, Sigurdsson; Adebayor.

    SUBS! Friedel, Fryers, Chadli, Paulinho, Townsend, Kane, Soldado

    Don't know what to make of that at all...

    Sig is an interesting choice, bearing in mind we've not seen anything of him recently...

    It's because he scored against them in the last 2 matches.

    Sherwood is sentimental clearly

    Probably so. Depressing really. Pragmatic but depressing. Not perhaps the 'Spurs Way', you could say

    Looks like we're going 433. Not really sure with no #10. Maybe we'll do 4213. Certainly not 4231 as we have been playing.

    That team selection looks an absolutely mess to me. Good luck to Sherwood if it works, but I'm struggling to even work out who's supposed to be playing where.
    I think that Huddlefro might have it right with a 5-4-1. Lloris; Walker, Kaboul, Dawson, Vertonghen, Naughton; Lennon, Sandro, Bentaleb, Sigurdsson; Adebayor.
    Trying to deal with their widemen cutting in by playing a wrongfooted fullback down the left, perhaps? At least he's got options to change it, but I'm not impressed.

    Well it's confused Mourinho, apparently:
    "I have seen their team sheet. We have tried to guess the way they will line up but we have our doubts and we will only know for sure when the game starts."
    You're not the only one.
