Us playing 442 without Adebayor won't work IMO. The sole reason it did was due to the running and work rate of Ade. Something Defoe won't offer in the slightest.
This will be Sherwoods big test for me over Xmas. Ade can't play both upcoming games you would think, especially as his match fitness won't be the same as everyone else's. Now when Ade does get a rest, if Sherwood plays Defoe up top along with Soldado, it will confirm to me he's going to stubbornly persist with his "anti AVB" tactics no matter what, and confirm my fears he's not ready to manage a team like Spurs.
It certainly could. Doesn't have to be Ade though.
With Defoe off, Baldini has something up his sleeve...................aside from his arm that is..........
