Spurs winger Andros Townsend certainly carries an individual threat, but he cannot be a one-man wrecking crew every week. His days as a wildcard selection are over. Opposition players are beginning to wise up to repeat performances of his England tilts. It's a case of curb your enthusiasm Andros. Everyone appreciates his direct style, but to kick on he needs to show maturity namely, learn when to cross. Otherwise he will hurt Hotspur as often as help them. AVB may reap some benefit of playing Townsend and Lennon down their natural sides instead. That tactic should result in Soldado getting some ammunition. It may be a vain hope, however, for a modern coach to move away from the en vogue approach of wide players cutting inside.
