Yesterday at times he played rb , central mid , lb and right winger all at once ... the energy levels in this guy are amazing. Like on sunday when he chased down defence and goalkeeper at the 90 th minute without even looking tired.

I've a feeling Sunday may come too soon for him, especially if he's tweaked a Hammy!!
Maybe a week off for him will help, and we do have the option of Siggy AND Holtby in the same team, they've been like a Swiss Weather clock recently, one appears, the other one leaves!
We're gonna have to cope without Bale next Thursday, I'd wager we leave Lennon at home too, we just need to keep it solid out there, and not do anything spectacular...
Whilst an away goal would be immense, until Inter score twice in a minute and give us all that familiar Spursey feeling again,, we don't need to do anything other than defend as a solid, efficient, professional unit.. Which we're MORE THAN capable of!

Have to say I thought the energy levels were off the hook last night in general. Hunting in packs and I watched Gylfi, Dembele, Lennon and Parker all make fantastic recovery tackles. Gylfi had one where he ran a full 60yds, pinched the ball and recycled it straight into a break. I couldn't fault any of our starting midfield.
Amazing how an important NLD / derby win can galvanize the mind and body
Let's hope we can carry this momentum into the the last 10 games and avoid last season's shambles
Really? I always thought he gets in to great scoring positions but his lack of greediness in front of goal means he just doesn't score enough.
His work rate is immense, and with Walker having an 'iffy' season so far, we may miss him tracking back and taking pressure of Walker
Walkers been improving, maybe AVB will think 'YOLO' and play Walker RM and Naughton RB. Also when the hell is Kaboul back????
walker had a good game last night, he just needs to get some consistency in his game
YOLO haha, I was thinking he'd do that in Milan next week. Full training on Monday apparently..meaning he should be back by 2056
Perhaps it could be that, whenever he does take on a shot he generally gets it on target - perhaps he should be more greedy then!
Lennon should be 70M
Bale cant do it without Lennon distracting half of the other team

Can't believe we still don't have a replacement for when Lennon gets injured.
That guy is so important to us.

He is a fantastic little fella. I really hope he is back for Swansea, Everton and the QFs! We neeeeeeed him! :gomes:
I was thinking of the little fella and how AVB got the best out of Bale last season. Lennon was very good last season, at least until he got a few injuries. He is, when at his best - unplayable. I think there still is a lot to see from Lennon, like the run when he scored va Woolwich - you get the timing right with good runs and he would be lethal.
He can be effective in a 4-4-2 or a 4-2-3-1, we know that already. Next season though, we will see some games with 4-3-3 with the three wardrobes in the middle; Sandro, Dembele and Paulinho, a few have questioned his place in such a formation. In a formation like that he could concentrate on pickung out the right runs all the time as the three central midfielders would do more of the defensive work than he is used to expect. I really think that Aaron, even in that formation can be very useful and that the coaching team will find ways of using his pace as an even bigger asset!
I'll be going back to sleep now that I have got those positive thoughts off my chest!

I love Aaron Lennon and hope he continues to be a staple in the side.
26 years old and 327 appearances for the club (more than Dawson and King). Could be a genuine club legend. Proper spursy.
He's a big part of the reason Bale is worth a 100m.
Hope everyone enjoys his immense dimension.
