Aaron Lennon needs to start

[HildoSpur]

Sell Lennon AND Townsend, problem solved.

 

[poc]

Why are people trying to rewrite history? I don't seem to remember many people objecting to him going out on loan given how poor he had been.

Quite a few of us on here didn't want him to go and said so often enough.

Unfortunately the critics tend to shout louder so most of us only remember him getting slated on a fairly regular occurrence.

 

[tttcowan]

So who's brave enough to say they were wrong and we shouldn't of got rid of him?

Sell Lennon AND Townsend, problem solved.

And Lamela and Chadli and start again.

 

[muppetman]

I think he'd gone stale at Spurs for whatever reason. I've always liked him so hope he has discovered his mojo - be that for us for another team.

There was some ITK I seem to recall from Trix on COYS saying that he had more than likely burnt his bridges and wouldn't be coming back - and not just with the manager but we shall see.

And you were wrong in doing so as Lennon needed this new challenge to perform again.
Question is whether we bring him back in the summer or not, that's up for debate.

He'd gone stale because of idiotic "football philosophy"

Also known as belligerently ploughing on with a plan that doesn't work.

The cost of that was no width in our team under AVB or MOPO. Lennon gets cast aside and becomes, at best, a bit part player.
I'd hold both AVB and MoPo very responsible for that.
I have no doubt at all that he'll shine playing week in week out elsewhere.

Perhaps so but he has been stale for quite a long time now. Whatever the reasoning I think the loan has been good for him. I'm not convinced he will shine wek in week out but time will tell. I've always liked him as a player so hope he does improve.

So who's stupid enough to say they were wrong and we shouldn't of got rid of him?

FYP.

Probably the same idiots who were saying we would be better off with Huddlestone, Dawson and Livermore earlier in the season.

So why was he shit under Sherwood and in Redknapp's last 2 seasons then?

To say that Lennon was shit under Redknapp is unfair and pure revisionist history. Do you not remember how deadly we were with Lennon and Bale on the wings providing width, and getting on the end of Modric and VDV's passes? Do you forget who torched the AC Milan defense, and provided the assist to Crouch for our only goal to advance us in the CL? Do you forget how terrible our play when Lennon was out of the lineup, and Redknapp put Modric or VDV out on the right wing?

Getting on the end of Modric & VDV's passes and doing fuck all with it.

That was a great assist for Crouch, but the odd good game doesn't make him a good player in that time. In that CL year, he had 3 goals and 3 assists in 34 games in the league. To put that in perspective, Huddlestone scored 2 assisted 2 in 14 that year. Lennon should be more productive as a winger than a DM.

No

We dont seem to better off with their replacements, Fazio and Stambouli. 21 million spent and only Dier improves the first team. I dont see Stambouli doing anything that Livermore couldn't do.

I still would have taken Hudd over Capoue this season but then I guess Hudd didn't make a through ball against the Chicago Fire and have 90% pass accuracy against Toronto FC.

I am not sure if I am an idiot, but those three you have mentioned are no worse than any of the players we replaced them with.

Not in a million years.

Hudd can't run. Which is pretty useless for a manager who wants to play a hard pressing game.

But we don't play a hard pressing game?

We have pressed hard in about three games and people translate that to mean a full season.

We pressed more under Sherwood, AVB and Harry in general.

 

[Mullers]

Lennon was going to be replaced during the Ramos era, the whole purpose of signing Bentley was that he could cross and shoot but Bentley's attitude was all wrong so Lennon won that battle.
