Ronaldo and Messi have been at it from 07 onwards, Bale had that patch when he ripped Maicon a new one and did not maintain that form. The first time i saw him in this free role it did not look like a good idea but Modric and Van Der Vaart's departure seems to have cleared the deck for him.

VDV and Modric being gone is showing too. I think they the biggest reason why Adebayor has look so :flabbynsick: this season.

I would be greedy too if my strikers were Ade and Defoe and my other striker/CAM was Dempsey :gag::demonic:

negged

not really but see his performances three months back, holding the team back all selfish. now they are all going in and he's vindicated :ohhh:

cant wait till one of those scotty parker rushes of blood to the head leads to an epic mistake though. i see one of those for him in a key moment of the season

AVB's a likeable fellow unless you over 30 and have played for Chelsea from Jul 2011 till Feb 2012

:yes:

27 games to get fired with Chelsea
27 games to overtake Chelsea with Tottenham

:avb::avb::avb::avb::avb::avb:

He is pedestrian as a coach though.

His only two moves all season have been switching Bale/Lennon on the wings (never works) and switching Bale between left and center mid recently (which has worked but keep in mind Bale could be playing central defense and still score)

and of course some subs here and there but Spurs are already a superior squad imposing their will on lesser clubs in the last 20 minutes, it's just what happens in football, so no matter who he puts in they're gonna get a boost anyway
