I wish we were going Ba Ba :(

MOTD highlighted the top scorers list last night as does here http://uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/football/premier-league/top-goalscorers.html

You have to go a long way down to find a Spurs player and seeing as how we're supposed to be title contenders/pretty solid for a top 4 spot, it's not great that we don't have a single player in the top 5 at least.

Far better to be a team that is not reliant upon an individual than one that has to have a "top scorer" ... with Spurs' goals coming from all positions and all angles and that we have scored more goals than all but 3 other teams (one of then RvP FC) says more about us than them.

True but I don't see why we can't have our current setup AND a 20-goal-a-season striker too ;)
 
Ade gets another 11 and he's there.He's not scored for awhile now,if he had we would have a 20 goal striker.

No he hasn't scored for a while - it's not a problem at the moment, whilst Bale and, to a lesser extent, Modric have been finding the net but you look at our first XI and you'd say 'Adebayor and Van der Vaart are our 2 main scorers.' I can't remember the last time either scored to be honest.

Ade and Bale are equal on 9.
 
A draw would be perfect for us. I don't usually count the eggs, but BOTH teams out there are seriously there for the taking. We are simply stronger- not necessarily in certain individual departments- but as a team unit- than the both of them.
 
You gotta love the EPL...

Roller-coaster of a season we're once again having.
