Tottenham have lost three consecutive matches in the Premier League and Europa League combined and there has been mass hysteria.
Is it necessary? Or can a small tweak make the difference? Well the Lilywhites have not gone from the in form team in the League to useless all of a sudden.
There clearly needs to be a plan B for when Bale isn’t on his A game. Jermain Defoe has been managing to hold the fort up front but needs support.
Adebayor may have scored the crucial goal on Thursday night but shown himself to be clearly inefficient this season and this does not look like changing any time soon.
Tottenham therefore need their attacking midfield stars to come to the fore. Sigurdsson has improved but is not an out and out striker.
An in form centre forward may be missing but Holtby can unlock defences like Modric used to, in order to open up doors for Defoe so that he can’t miss.
The ex Schalke midfielder has Champions League experience and needs to call upon this to guide Spurs to a top four finish this campaign.
Holtby may not have featured fully in recent weeks, but a lot of Tottenham’s prospects lie upon his shoulders as well as Bale’s in order to revitalise his side.
