    I liked Erik Lamela before it was cool

    Do you ever believe he's going to score? I don't. It's quite a problem if you're playing with one striker, and we're assuming Eriksen starts and is never going to be prolific, and allowances are made for that as, in theory, our playmaker.

    I liked Erik Lamela before it was cool

    His lack of goal threat and inability to beat a man are real issues, in my opinion.

    I liked Erik Lamela before it was cool

    I don't see an excellent footballer there. Good athlete, good attitude, but doesn't seem to have a clue of what to do with the ball. He likes a clip over the top of the defence, which has worked relatively well, but I think it's more a product of desperation/no other options, than anything else...

    I liked Erik Lamela before it was cool

    Not a reaction to today's average performance, but I still think if we're really going to push on, we need a quality goal threat from the wings. In the summer, I'd like to see us looking for a new right winger (with the assumption Eriksen will play from the left). I don't think he's terrible -...

    ****Tottenham Hotspur v Chelsea****

    I think it'd be crazy to move Dembele from the position he's been playing so well. Has to be a straight swap, Alli for Mason.

    the Tim Sherwood man love thread

    Sorry, I was talking generally - I just hadn't heard any clamour here (or elsewhere) for Bentaleb to play games. Similarly, there has been some praise of the players you've mentioned, but as far as I've seen, no one's been calling for them to start.

    the Tim Sherwood man love thread

    More than that - it's the differing approaches to youth, as well as their general attitude - I think Redknapp masks things whereas Sherwood is much more blunt.

    the Tim Sherwood man love thread

    I can't believe the rubbish he gets from people. Years of rumours have clearly clouded people's judgments. Let's be very clear - he: a. Got Adebayor playing very, very well - clearly, not an easy task; b. Realised Paulinho, Capoue and Dembele weren't very good - it took a lot of people here...

    Ingerlund

    Really would be a huge blow if Wheelchair can't get fit - which is looking very likely. I know people think he's overrated, but I think he's brilliant alongside a DM. With Delph, the next best player for that role, injured and/or not playing enough, I think we're in trouble. Henderson and Milner...

    Kyle Walker

    I think the implication that I'm waiting for the defence to collapse, and blame Walker, is a little underhand. Anyway, yes, it's good to see our defence improving.

    Kyle Walker

    No - he played 268 games, was consistently excellent, and been spoken of in very high terms by his peers. Walker has looked, in my opinion, consistently average, and heralded by few.

    Kyle Walker

    That's rather misleading - I said there's "little to suggest" - rather than "never". I would maintain that 8 games is indeed little evidence - and particularly given that Spurs have been synonymous with poor defending for years. If your reasoning is that he's either not been part of those weak...

    Harry Kane MBE

    I do appreciate it's a very odd thing to say, but even last season, for the reasons I outlined, I couldn't help but feel he wasn't a 'natural' striker. It's that power in the shot and clinical finishing I think he lacks. Similarly, I think he enjoys linking the play and constantly being...

    Kyle Walker

    Well, that is still little compared to years of being part of quite terrible defences.

    Kyle Walker

    I just don't see it with Walker. I think he's peaked in terms of potential. The only things he excels at are pace and one on one defending - which are valuable - yet there is little to suggest he could be part of a cohesive defensive unit. I think he lacks the intelligence and discipline -...

    Harry Kane MBE

    I am perhaps in the minority here, but I think that despite last season's exploits, Kane isn't a goalscorer. It's therefore not a great surprise to see him struggling for goals. I think he's an excellent player - in terms of hold-up play, linking, movement, work rate and general technique -...

    Ingerlund

    I think that's a bit of a straw man. There's no real backlash, people are just saying he's not very effective these days - which he isn't. They're rightly concerned that he's unlikely to be dropped from England, which is relevant given there are players who would fit the system better than him...

    Ingerlund

    I'm a huge Rooney fan - or was until very recently - but I do agree. I just don't see how any team can succeed with someone with no mobility up front. Even though Kane isn't particularly fast, he does move well. Similarly, Sturridge, with his pace and finishing could be very interesting -...

    Ingerlund

    To be fair, England do need someone to play the DM role, and Shelvey, sadly, was the best option last night. Similarly, I think Delph is the second best bet to play alongside the DM in Wheelchair's absence. As for Milner - his time is done at international level. I'd switch Rooney for Lallana...

    Ingerlund

    I agree that he has the right attitude, but don't get the impression he has the right skill set. Hodgson's success, by all accounts, is down to his meticulous training sessions and repetition. I can't imagine international football allows for that approach. The following sums it up...
