Spurs fans here in the Tavern gain a sense of excitement, as they welcome back one of their most exciting prospects. The Lilywhites have shocked many with their majestic start to the Premier League season, as Mauricio Pochettino sees his side catch full-flight. However, a couple of lacklustre performances of late has seen the white side of North London not only lose out in the top 4 race to their bitter rivals, but also lose ground on the rampant Manchester City at the top of the table.
A ton of excitement can be seen filtering from face-to-face here in the Tavern, as a recent report suggested that Erik Lamela was set to make his long-awaited return in their fixture away at Leicester City, after spending 13 months out with a hip injury.
There’s no doubt, this has caused utter delight to the awaiting Spurs faithful, which has been shared among a whole host of Tottenham contingent. The Landlord here in the pub decided to throw up a poll, to decide on whether Pochettino should have cashed in on the Argentine, which resulted in a rather astounding 71% of fans believing in the talents of the winger.
This caused quite the shock to the system, having seen the Landlord share views of Lamela becoming a liability at the club with his constant injury threat. However, if the winger is able to keep clear of any trouble, then his masses of potential could turn out to profit Spurs moving forward, with another high-class addition to their squad.
Spurs are currently lacking a vital ingredient moving forward at present, with Lamela possibly being the man to fill the void. An added sense of pace and aggression could be the missing piece to curing Tottenham’s recent woes, causing for exciting times ahead for Pochettino’s side.
Spurs fans, thoughts?
