Tottenham Hotspur F.C.

Spurs win % with Bale this season = 50%

Spurs win % without Bale this season = 50%

Keep calm and carry on.

von TFC:

Spurs without Lennon is like The Beatles without Lennon; the balance is all wrong, they’re not the same, and they’re nowhere near as good.

For years the light-footed winger has been twisting and turning his way past right backs and centre backs alike, his speed and low centre of gravity makes him an ideal man on the right. Lennon has now been at Tottenham since 2005. His winner against Chelsea in 06 and his incredible performance against United in the cup final in 2009, which many dubbed ‘The Aaron Lennon final’ has soon made him a fan’s favourite. Luckily for us that seems to be as far as it goes; Lennon, despite being a permanent fixture in the Tottenham line-up seems to be over looked by other premiership teams and any clubs in Europe.

Perhaps Lennon’s height is the reason for him (pardon the pun) being overlooked, perhaps it’s his reputation for having a poor final ball, (currently on a 50% success ratio) perhaps it’s because he has constantly been left out of the international squad.

For many years now I have looked at the announced team sheet and been horrified to see his name missing. It puts us off balance, we have Bale on the left, (although more so now in the centre) and the two of them chopping and changing puts defenders off kilter; one minute they could be defending a galloping horse-like powerhouse, knocking the ball past and charging after it, next thing they are being dazed and confused by poetry-in-motion.

Lennon’s stats alone, yet not great, are still impressive; he is currently on 27 goals for Spurs after 306 appearances, yet he is improving with 8 assists and 4 goals already this season.

However, my point is more to do with the team’s overall performance when Lennon isn’t playing; our poor run of form starting with a 4-1 loss at Inter Milan followed by defeats to Liverpool and Fulham all had one thing in common; they were all missing Aaron Lennon.

Our poor run of form starting with a 4-1 loss at Inter Milan all had one thing in common; they were all missing Aaron Lennon.

Our two wingers, Lennon and Bale, both compliment and combine perfectly, but if I were to be honest, I would much rather see that Bale had been left out rather than Lennon. This may sound ludicrous to many with Bale’s current form, but we can work without Bale, that team are not dependent on the Welshman, yet reliant at times and they do seem to pull together when he is missing. Yet the opposition seem unaware of our secret weapon, our firework on the right dazzling the Lane in a lilywhite sparkle as he’s let loose down the wing.

I can’t help but think, Bale would be a tragic and huge loss to the club, I don’t think a single fan, player or coaching staff would want him to go, and to be honest I don’t believe he’ll go anywhere anytime soon, but if he does, I will take solace that ‘All you need is L…ennon’.

von der HP:

The Club can confirm that Gareth Bale (sprained ankle ligaments), William Gallas (calf strain) and Aaron Lennon (soft tissue contusion below the knee) all underwent scans today (Friday) after being forced off with injuries during our Europa League Quarter Final First Leg draw with Basel last night.

The results of these scans have indicated that all three players are expected to return to training within two weeks.

Bale, Gallas and Lennon have all commenced their treatment today and are responding positively.

Sollten also voraussichtlich alle bis zum City-Match fit sein.

Und Player of the Month: SuperJan
