tottenham europa thoughts.
Sheriff played really well, closed us down, harried, tried to hit speedy counters when we lost the ball.
The high line means we are catching more teams offside as they try to launch balls over the top.
Chiriches looks classy, if a bit of a risk taker.
Lamela, showed some flashes, but still seems to be taking time to settle. Love AVB's handling of the situation, as well as his use of players in this competition. Using it as a chance to bed players in, as well as sharpening their competitive instincts as playing well in Europa means the chance of grabbing a first team place in the League.
Defoe did his thing against lesser competition.
Though we controlled possession, and were patient in the build up, Eriksen was quiet and we didn't vary our attacks enough to try and spring Lennon and Lamela quickly along the flanks.
Our ability to win this cup depends on who parachutes in from the Champions League.
I don't think AVB will weaken the team playing midweek, even after we qualify, he's using this competition as competitive practice, almost like a weekly preseason and we're better for it..
Wanted Adebayor to get a run out, he could be a big player for us this season, in terms of injury, loss of form and the number of competitions we could be in, so having another fit striker who fills the lone striker mould is essential.
