White Hart Shame

Whilst still shell shocked by the result last night, I wrote the following on a forum. Think it sums up how i feel.

I know this may be a controversial thing to say and some on here will do doubt disagree but I will explain why I feel like this afterwards.

We/Ledley really need to make a decision on his future and if he is not able to play at least 75% of the games then I'm afraid to say, as much as it hurts, that he should step down and move into coaching at Spurs.Now for my reason:

In order to be any sort of success in any league in the world you need consistency. With Ledley coming in and out every third game there is no way of Woody gaining a strong understanding with a defensive partner and consequently I feel this is really destabilising to the defence and the team as a whole. Granted, the whole team tonight were dire and it was not solely the fault of the defense but it CANNOT help having to play with a new centre back pairing every other game. At least if we knew 100% that Ledley was not available then we could pair Woody someone who he is able to play with week in, week out and gain an understanding with. We all love Ledders but for the good of the team we MUST put sentiment aside!

As I say, it really hurts to write this but we Can't keep chopping and changing players in different positions as we are doing.
