Today was a conunndrum. I looked at the bench and wondered who would've changed that game. I wondered what would've happened if Soldado could do his primary job. I wondered what would've happened if Eriksen could do his job. Rose? Ah well... Too many players are just not performing. I still think we need to see what he does with a fully fit squad (Sandro and Townsend) but the signs are not amazing. I'd love to join the party and blame this draw on him but I can't. We started today with an alarming lack of verve, yet that's how we started often under AVB. I'd say that realistically, in these games, we need to take teams to the sword in the first 20-30 minutes and put the game away fast. We have the talent. There are so many question marks right now over the club (who's performing who's not, why, who might've come in during Jan, why they didn't, who's going to be the manager in the summer, what is the chairman's position on where we are, where will Baldini be in July) that it feels miraculous we are still in with a shout. Today was (sadly) typical Spurs. We've seen it too many times under too many managers. The question becomes whether Sherwood is the man who can break that habit/mentality or whether we throw our lot in with a Van Gaal. One thing is for sure. If we don't make top 4, the only chance we have of keeping Lloris and Vertonghen is someone like Van Gaal. By the way, I wish Van Gaal had a bigger nose, I think I'd trust him more/find him less egregious and more trustworthy!!!!!!
