Agreed. He had his first start in the premier league under Sherwood. I dont see what the big issue is.

He has done nothing in a Spurs shirt to warrant starting every match. Certainly didnt do anything against Soton to nail down his place in the first team.
He did more than Siggy did?

He started the move for our 1st goal and 1 or 2 other good chances we had.

He also worked his bollocks off.

Im afraid what will happen is Townsend returns and Tim says i gave Lamela his game and wasnt good enough.
Then proceeds to play Townsend every game and tells us he is the next Gareth Bale.
Which we all know is complete rubbish.

Oh I dunno. Townsend probably has as many shots on goal during a game as Bale...maybe even more.

The only slight difference is that Townsend's are all wildly off target.

Spurs XI: Lloris; Walker, Chiriches, Dawson, Rose; Chadli, Eriksen, Holtby, Sigurdsson; Adebayor, Soldado


Seriously... The guy sho mangaed to vanish in the last game...

Lamela did absolutely nothing in the last game, okay he tried a few things that didn't come off, but he tracked back and got stuck in, whilst Siggy just failed to deceive.

This is why I didn't want TS to be manager. Okay we will be more attacking, but WTF!!

Looking at the West Brom lineup they're also rather attacking, big decision to start old Zoltan rather than Mulumbu but one that could pay dividends for them with us not having a DM to whack on him.

If we can control possession as we have done in the last 2 and get an early goal I'd say things will be fine, but that's a large if. Long isn't even on the bench though, is he injured or suspended or something?

are they? five defenders, one dm, three mids and a lone striker.

Let not invent our own reality. He has been totally underwhelming so far.

Im not fussed if he plays or not, he is just one of 25 players in the squad. If he starts looking like he deserves a start then he Im sure he will.

As opposed to saying that Erik was starting today Brian just said he was "playing" on twitter last night. The only reason I bring that up is because he used the word "starting" last time against Southampton so maybe that means hell definitely come on at some point today? I dunno though could just be clutching a straws:)

I love the attacking intent but that midfield looks

He has been underwhelming for a £30m player, he actually hasn't been too bad and also has never had a run of games in which to get settled.

What I see in this thread is a whole lot of Spurs fans who already made up their mind on Tim Sherwood, never wanted him to get the job and think he is shit. Now all your doing is looking for reasons to reinforce your beliefs by criticizing his team selections and tactics instead of giving the man a chance.

It's funny, all of you are calling for Lamela to get a chance and in the same breathe saying how shit Sherwood is in his second game in charge. A bit of a double standard there, no?
