Two games have defined and, to an extent, shaped Gareth Bale’s career thus far. The Champions League double header over Inter Milan, where the Welshman scored a hat-trick at the San Siro followed by a performance that was credited with his finest in his short career and some deem to be the one that won him the PFA Player of the Year.
It only took 30 minutes of the 2-2 draw with Newcastoe United for Ledley King to pull up with another muscle strain. The 31-year-olds inability to train on a daily basis is beginning to catch up on him and after years of playing with dodgy knees, King now risks a series of muscular problems due to a lack of training.
Since the days of Robbie Keane, I have been a Spurs fan. Watching the team was exhilarating and the charm that came from the entire organization was amazing.
The final piece of To the Lane and Back’s midfield puzzle comes in the shape of Rafael Van der Vaart.
With the squad now beginning to take shape, it is time to add Luka Modric to To the Lane and Back’s best XI.
With the defensive aspect of this Spurs side covered, now is the time to analyse the attacking quintet that makes up To the Lane and Back’s team and who better to start with first than last seasons PFA Player of the Year, Gareth Bale.
Was it really going to be anyone else? The other half of To the Lane and Back’s midfield duo, summer arrival Scott Parker completes the defensive aspect of the formation.
With the back four now in place, it’s time to analyse what Tottenham’s best midfield should be. With an abundance of talent in the area of the park, To the Lane and Back’s choice of players has been tough but an easier selection to make was that of the players charged with protecting the defence. First up is Brazilian giant Sandro.
