StevenL 0 Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 (edited) Someone said he was fucking average this season as well. Except for him stepping up his diving game he's been pretty special this season. Especially since they've started playing him through the middle.

aimaad22 3658 Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 They are pretty dependent on him at the moment. I thought someone like Dembele would be more of a threat than he has been for them, although he does seem to be playing in a more defensive position than he was at Fulham.

Kid Dynamite 6139 Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 They are great at buying players that look good in a lesser team and look average in theirs. Dempsey, Sigurdsson, Palacious and Dembele spring to mind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tooj 17 Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Dembele has been good for them this season IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Kelly 1117 Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 I think they their buying was a bit strange in the summer. Dembele, Dempsey & Siggurdson are all good players but they are all a little bit similar. They've now bought Holtby too who's another midfielder (don't know anything more about him) so they have Parker, Sandro, Huddlestone, Livermore, Dembele, Holtby, Siggurdson and Dempsey. That's an incredible amount to have. Surely they must have had other area's they could do with strengthening! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Striker seems favourite....wouldn't want to rely on a travel weary Adebayor for fuckin anything, genius though he is on his day...thankfully not seen for some time...

aimaad22 3658 Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Dembele has been good for them this season IMO. He's been alright but hasnt had the kind of impact I though he would looking at the way he used to play at Fulham. I think he's been asked to play that box to box midfielder role rather than the floating type of role he seemed to enjoy more. Perhaps a Jonas like situation, asked to play for the team.

Anorthernsoul 1221 Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Adebayour is yet to return home, apparently. He's back tomorrow according to AVB so he'll definitely be starting IMO. Get into half time on level terms we will have a good chance of a result, hopefully Moussa stamps his mark on the game from the start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully he's like that on Saturday! I watched a bit of the game Togo got knocked out and he looked like he couldn't give a fuck so I wasn't at all surprised to see the result.

Flying back from Africa on Friday and you think he'll be starting the game at 12.30pm on Saturday? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anorthernsoul 1221 Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Do they have any other options? Two up top with Bale and Dempsey. Which is probably just as dangerous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevenL 0 Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Dembele has been good for them this season IMO. I agree but he's got a good point. Bassong and Bentley are other examples. Parker sorta stayed the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayvin 4981 Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 I was reading that while Adebayor is going to play, he's far from 100% fit. To be honest I don't much rate him anyway, I've watched them a couple of times this season and he's done very little of any great note - spurs fans don't seem too enamoured with him either. Of course, I'd rather he was out. At least we can enjoy this one a bit more without feeling like everything's going to go to shit if we lose it.

Howay 12496 Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 He ripped us apart last season. He's one of them players where he's either amazing or he just can't be arsed, hopefully with the traveling and not being 100% we see the latter version of him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NobbySol 1 Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 (edited) Last year we had perch and Guthrie in centre mid with Jonas and obertan either side. We were ripped apart in midfield with tiote away and cabaye suspended. We also had Williamson and Simpson at the back so personnel wise a lot stronger this time round while spurs are weaker.

Noelie 103 Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Whilst I am looking forward to this match which I think we might just win, I'm not looking forward to getting up at 4-30 in the fucking morning. A ban should be put on these early-early kick-offs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
