They don't have enough strikers I don't think, unless the new manager can bring Adebayor back in the fold successfully. I think both Defoe and Soldado both need a physical presence up front to work off of.
They have only managed to beat Swansea of the teams in the top 10, being beaten by 4 others and drawing with 3
Despite this they are only 6 points behind us and 5 from from top 4. Actually, they are 1 point better than last season after the same number of games.
I won't shout victory just yet and 2 poor results from our next 3 games might just allow them (and others) to catch up. One of the tightest seasons I can remember and our squad is still very thin. If anything happens to Suarez, we won't even have Adebayor. The positive for us is that Spurs doesn't even have a proper manager for the busy festive period.
