It would be easy to focus on the negatives from Sunday's crushing defeat. Conceding a late goal again, losing Keane for 3 more matches, losing Bale for who knows how long.
Interesting, though, has been the a change in formation and strategy that Ramos has been employing recently. This Guardian article recounts some of the recent aggressive attacking play of Spurs, likening it to Mourinho's start at Chelsea. Not only has Ramos started three strikers, but he has also moved Bale into attack, played Lennon at right back for a stretch, and juggled our defensive line.
One thing is for certain: while shortcomings at center back and defensive midfield have forced his hand, Ramos is adapting, playing Spurs' best players and emphasizing their strengths until defensive reinforcements can arrive.

It is hard to see how Ramos' changes are going to work out, but any change at this point has to be a good one. Spurs have so much talent, so its good to see that someone is trying to make use of it.
On a bright note, at least they progressed in the UEFA Cup. It is the little things that get us through the day.
We won yesterday! Is this not something that should be discussed?
BOO! Now Bale is out 3 mos. Hopefully Lee will stay consistent as it looks as if he will be Ramos' man back on the left. COYS!
