Looking good but I've seen him in better form a couple of times. Thinks he's warming up to getting there though.

He has been praising him all along even when he had poor games. He is making him feel important.
Couple of beautifully stood up crosses today - including the one for Ade's goal.
But what almost endeared him more to the crowd today was his fantastic tracking back and stealing the ball off their wingers on a number of occasions.
His workrate defensively is superb. A real team player!

He has actually been doing that all season I think thats why his forward play was hampered. The guy is the epitome of team player - he works hard defensively whilst being unselfish in attack.

Garth Crooks' Team of the Week
MIDFIELD - AARON LENNON (Tottenham)
For the second consecutive game, Aaron Lennon has made it into my team of the week.
Against Sunderland, he and Gareth Bale ran the show.
In the absence of Bale and against a stubborn Reading side the Yorkshireman grabbed the mantle and performed brilliantly, providing the assist for Emmanuel Adebayor to put the game beyond the Royals.
Two superb performances from the England international.
If he keeps this form up, he's a must for Roy Hodgson.
Did you know?
Lennon has been involved in a goal (scored or assisted) in each of his last three Premier League appearances, his best such run since August 2009 (also three appearances).
Only in March 2007 has he produced a longer stretch (four).

I have been really hard on Lennon most of the season because I think a number of matches he fails to stamp his mark on the match offensively and with end product. That being said last two matches he has been superb, hopefully he is finding a great run of form.

Would love the little man to get a rest, hope he gets one against Coventry...
I don't think Lennon's crossing in itself has ever been particularly bad, he has just over the last few years learnt to set himself up better to deliver the ball. He used to try to play the ball whilst going at top speed. This would normally mean no-one else could keep pace with him, so he would have little to aim for, while he would also be off balance, affecting the quality of his delivery.
Nowadays he slows down before crossing, puts the defender under pressure, tries to wriggle into some space and deliver the ball from a more balanced body position. While this is happening more teammates enter the box and he has a better range of targets to seek. Even when he is already away from the defender he has developed the composure to slow down just a bit in order to make the cross more reliable.
Let's just say he has a different crossing technique compared to the likes of Walker or Hutton, who regularly hits it into row Z instead of the penalty area.
Agreed!
Fair comment, because for me, Lennon get's injured, misses games, then takes 6-8 games to find his form/confidence again.
Good to see AVB taking him off at end of games, would be good to see him rest against Coventry as well.

Our player of the year; he's been more influential than Bale this season. What a player AVB has made. No longer the heads down speed merchant. Going outside, Coming inside, crossing, playing in the overlapping fullback and above all sprinting his ass to work back and win the ball, especially when we caught on the counter.
Ladies and gentleman: I give you the best winger in this year's Premiership: The imperious Aaron "Azza" Lennon

Simply ridiculous but all these exaggerated posts about his form only prove what i've been saying all along and that's most posters on here (and football fans in general) base things solely on a players last game or a very small sample of games (for this case it's about 4 or 5) and completely ignore everything else (4 months is like 4 years to the average football fan).

Exactly what i said in the thread where we voted for best player of season so far
I predicted people would pick Bale, even though there were clearly more consistent players
