What is the point in Dempsey? What has he done to earn his right to start? He's shit with the ball, but worse when we haven't got it. I understand what AVB was thinking by picking this team, he thought that Dempsey a CM come striker would offer more steel in midfield than Defoe, and obviously planned for Adebayor to hold the ball up long enough for Dempsey to get up and support, but that's to ignore Dempsey's absolute lack of drive, or quality, the guy is a plodder. He's clearly not as bad as his form's been this year, but that's not the point, we're in essence playing with 10 men against City atm. I know he won't be subbed however, unless it's to bring on Livermore... :(

We're one up but shouldn't be. Walker just plain stupid. Midfield with zero ideas from Huddlestone who's only barely brighter. Add Dempsey; a clueless waste of space, and not optimistic for the 2nd half regardless of the present scoreline.

Wouldn't mind getting Siggy on for Demspey.

Sandro MOTM already unless someone does something amazing. He is the best defensive mid in the premiership hands down

I agree with taking Dempsey off for Defoe. With Ade being so good at holding up the ball Defoe would link up really well. Think we need to score a couple more :)

Winner against Utd surely would do that? I like him but I don't think he's a 'Spurs player'.

True but he isn't getting in th team rightly so, so when he is it's tough to get going again. For Fulham ha played week in week out.

I don't like the stats -not won 4 away games in a row since 1989, not beaten both Manchester Clubs away since 1960. I guess records are there to be broken.
