    Commentary is saying Defoe has ankle ligament damage, if true that's gotta be a spell on the sidelines. Leaves us very short upfront till Ade gets back.

    I think mickman mentioned that Ade will be back next week? We'll badly need him with Defoe out.

    Clearly Bale dived there!

    Sure Brunt and Reid didn't try break him up at all... Disgusting tackles and disgusting booing by west brom fans...

    Huge win, I would have taken a draw if we'd won last week so back on track. We need Arsenal to dip in form though

    Great win,brilliant goal from Bale,us getting Holtby for under 2mil should be considered theft!

    That's good news, my fear now though is that if Defoe is out for a month or two we'll be having to wrap Ade in cotton wool.

    Hopefully we'll see Defoe back to action soon, but if it looks like a fairly lengthy spell out I think we need to get someone in on loan if possible.

    Well Bale could slot into that role. He looked comfortable playing central during the match to be honest... Whose to say he can't fill in if needed to.

    I know there has been times it didn't work in the past but I reckon we have goal scoring options without Defoe. And also remember even though Defoe had a great first half to the season he hasn't scored in 8 games so its not like we're relying on him right now.

    Newcastle will be a tough test but atleast we'll be at home.

    Final of ACN is Feb 10th. Togo play 20.30 tonight. Should win quarter final and semi final is February 6th. So he'll miss the Newcastle game most likely but that should be it.

    We are all Burkino Faso fans tonight then, is crucial we have him back ASAP even at the cost of his own personal glory.

    Well I guess the other thing is our next league game after Newcastle is the 25th. As both our Lyon matches are up next after Newcastle.

    So I guess unless we have him back for Newcastle it's not essential. However obviously winning the Europa League would be nice too but is sacrifice that if it meant CL football next season.

    My only issue at the moment is that we are so reliant on bale

    If we didn't have him we would have lost at Norwich and drawn today

    Missed the last 30 mins, how did holtby do ?

    Holtby was everywhere,showed great workrate,should be great for us when he settles in a bit more.

    Just to add to this, before that game we had 107 shots and 6 goals recently. So we're now at 128 to 7 goals. Not sure how many games back that goes, guessing our last 7 goals counted backwards would tell you...

    Unfortunately this is an all too common statistic with us this season. We've easily created the most chances on goal this season and I'd imagine have one of the lowest conversion rates. Imagine if we had someone who would just be in the right place at the right time?!

    Hopefully Ade has found some form, looking forward to seeing him and Holtby together

    I believe we've created 50+ more chances than man utd this season. With RVP with us I believe we could be in a similar opsition in the league...

    Although in saying that Liverpool have created similar amount of chances..

    It's been said many times on here mate, if we had a top striker, we'd be in the title hunt, no doubts about it.

    Yeh but really there's nobody that can provide that form and cost within our budget along with the wage structure.

    As I said before no point blowing money Spurs clearly don't have just because we cant convert all these chances...

    Would be great if we had a scouting system able to discover a Michu or the like.

    What happened with AVB's scouting mission to Brazil before joining Spurs?! Seems it was a worthless trip..
