Townsend backing Adebayor to win back Spurs fans

Andros Townsend is confident Emmanuel Adebayor can win back the confidence of Tottenham fans.

Adebayor was jeered by some during their Capital One Cup win over Sheffield United.

"Everyone knows what Manny can offer," said Townsend. "He scored loads of goals last season. He has had a few off-the-field problems this season but he has got his head right and he has got himself fit. He has had a few niggles but he is now 100 per cent fit, so hopefully we will see the Emmanuel Adebayor of last season and he can start scoring goals for us.

"In his first game back on Saturday, he was fantastic and worked really hard. It was the same last night. Hopefully he'll get another game on Saturday against Leicester in the FA Cup and he can get a goal. He worked hard last night and hopefully the fans can see that."
