Telling a tale !

I was looking at the for and against stats for spurs in the premiership this season, and comparing them to other teams, one aspect that i noticed was that teams like everton,bolton and fulham have less goals against than us.

Now its obvious that you have to take who we and these respective teams have played this season but, if you were to go purely by this statistical statement then you have to say that our defence is in fact no better, in fact worse than those teams, and the added fact that we dont keep a clean sheet any game bares out that message, so is it because we have lost king, dawson or both ? does it mean that kaboul and gallas should be simply second choice when those injured players return or should we be looking at the likes of cahill,hangeland and maybe jagielka ?

Then the goals for ! well if we aim to be a top 4 side again then shouldnt we have a goals ratio somewhere in the range that the top 4 clubs have now?

A lot of us on here have bemoaned the loss of defoe ! would he have made the difference ? its a debatable subject ! we obviously cant rely on crouch to score more goals because he simply doesnt have the tools to do so, and pav is in and out the team like a fiddlers elbow.

So ! to sum everything up if you went by those stats alone you would have to say that harry should be looking to buy a striker, and a decent centre back come january as has often been mentioned on here, and the age old question is ..................................WHO?
