A crucial North London derby is underway and to complement the event, a guest blogger has decided to contribute to the site which I always encourage . JK Saturnine has focussed on Tottenham Hotspurs and the different elements which have contributed to the club's success this season. So here it is, enjoy:
Adebayor
On signing for Spurs, Adebayor, it was said, would start brightly before petulance, laziness and indifference would rear its head. He would lose interest and form; and prove, once again, that he is a mercenary, a passenger at the club. Adebayor has, indeed, shown many facets but more so of his tremendous ability rather than his ability to alienate himself from popular support
Redknapp has played Adebayor predominantly as a target man, though he is not a classic ‘number 9’. He often moves and stays wide, happy to link play and create space for the attacking midfielders to move into.

| In this game, against Aston Villa, we can see Adebayor picking up the ball frequently in wide positions in his own half as well as the opposition half. |
