Tottenham Hotspur striker on loan from Manchester City, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Emmanuel-Adebayor-c12526, revealed he believed his side had to improve if they wished to finish in the top four this season.
The Spurs are currently at third place on the Premier League table after a narrow 1-0 win over Sunderland at White Hart Lane. The London side were not the better side and were lucky to come away with all three points in a match that looked to end in a draw.
It was because of a superb performance by http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Brad-Friedel-c7953 in goal that the Spurs managed to maintain a clean sheet and climb up the table. From fourth place, they overtake the Blues by two points and a game in hand which can be highly crucial.
The absence of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Gareth-Bale-c14422 due to a suspected hamstring tear and a sprained ankle, respectively, was thought to play a big role in the Spurs performance. However, Adebayor was certain his side had to improve if they wished to be considered
title contenders at the end of the season.
Adebayor said in an interview:
“If we want to be in the top four we have to play better than we did against Sunderland.”
According to the former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429 striker, his team had to definitely do better than they did against the Black Cats over the weekend. They face Chelsea in mid-week at White Hart Lane, a fixture that will decide who will get third place as the New Year’s period
approaches.
He continued:
“I don't know happened in the first half. I don't really want to know. I'm just glad that the game is over.
We felt heavy on the pitch and we didn't have any solution. It was tough but to be champions that's what it takes.
It's the kind of game that, regardless of what happened, we were just pleased to get the three points.”
The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 then the Blues will have no trouble securing all three points even if it is a game away from home.
