Townsend is a very useful player. JE, the Townsend you're thinking of was a teenager, the Townsend DS is referring to is the one who looked good last year, and then even better after he was loaned to Ol Twitchy.
He needs to stay within himself. He has looked like their most dangerous player but sometime he thinks he's some kind of Bale 2.0. The last 2 games he has been passing more which I like to see. When he is not a one-dimensional shooter, he can really jump on the opposing defenders because his dribbling skills are pretty top notch. Problem on Sunday was, why the freak is Defoe is starting. Dropping Soldado was a big tactical mistake by AVB. And, this team needs Capoue back. And, frankly, I'd like to see Paulinho and Sandro play together.
