Tremendous
Running rampant down that wing
Whipping in cross after cross
Probably the best winger in the Prem for creating scoring chances for others (which was poorly maximized by our Strikers IMO)
Either that or you didnt read the facts and stats I posted from last season that prove Ade and Defoe form a very effective strike partnership.
The problem w/ the last year comparison...
Ade has 11% of his production from last year
One of the the best 2nd strikers in the biz, VDV, is long gone
One of the best box to box CM in the biz, Modric, is long gone
Bale is bagging goals at an impressive clip right now. Why change that and look to depend on Ade and Defoe who have a combined 2 goals over the last 4 months ?
So not detrimental to the team then?
Exactamundo. It would be barking madness.
Definitely not detrimental.
I'm just speaking to optimizing the tactics vs Wigan.
Which, for me, has Bale no where near that LW.
The pub under the away end is basically a functions room with a bar. Does the job.
The origional statement I disagreed with said Ade and Defoe dont play well and never have. That is not true.
Bale can still do a major job LW, and those are the only points I am making.
Its fucking Wigan away, and you are shitting your pants about going 442. Chill, its just hyperthetical.
You must really believe we are a one man team.
I'm not taking anybody lightly at this point, especially a team like Wigan who is in desperation mode w/ their relegation battle.
And One Man team ? no
One Man attack ? Probably
Lightly?
Dempsey, Defoe and Ade up front with Bale wide left?
And Parker, Dembele, Dawson, Vertonghen, Walker, BAE and Lloris behind them?
Or
Roll w/ Defoe in that perfect super sub role for his one moment of brilliance via his foot
Worked out pretty well on Sunday,no ?
Are you really arguing with a proven formation when thats your alternative!?
That is proven w/ the likes of Modric & a 17/11 Adebayor (vs a 3/0 Adebayor)
That is far from proven currently.
To be honest, I can't think of a proven formation that has consistently worked this year.
That starting 11 right there will give Spurs the best chances at scoring.
Each to their own
is Gallas fit?
Oh dear god no! NO NO NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!1JUAN!
My firm prediction is that AVB will not start both Hudd and Holtby.
I have been wrong more than once in my life
but to me it's way too high risk, I can't think of one top manager who would take such a risk in a vital game, double especially espresso if Lennon starts as well.
