When Brad Friedel arrived at White Hart Lane this summer we knew that he wasn't just being brought in as cover for Heurelho Gomes but after taking the number one jersey at the start of the season, just where does this leave our Brazilian, error-prone keeper?

Despite publicly backing Gomes after high profile mistakes against Real Madrid and Chelsea last season, you could sense the frustration in Harry Redknapp and after picking up an injury towards the end of the campaign, it was left to Carlo Cudicini to turn in some solid performances that helped the club to fifth place.

There was never much doubt that Harry Redknapp was going to keep faith with Brad Friedel for Saturday's fixture with Wolves but once his name was inked in on the team sheet, we seemed to get final confirmation that Heurelho Gomes' days at the Lane could be numbered.

Today, Redknapp has confirmed that while Gomes isn't necessarily number 3 at Spurs behind Friedel and Cudicini, the player is now looking at the possibility of a transfer out of the club in January.

There was a certain inevitability about Adebayor scoring on his Spurs debut this weekend. Much in the same way you could be assured that any millionaire simpleton appearing on MTV Cribs will lead the film-crew into his monstrously decorated bedroom and declare: this is where the magic happens, while pointing to his hovercraft-sized bed and winking like a sex pest, one could almost guarantee the Togolese talisman would find his feet rather sharpish in the Midlands.

This midweek looked to be a tough week for premier league representatives in the Europa League as no teams managed to pick up three points, although the likes of Stoke City and Tottenham Hotspurs can consider the draws they got were pretty positives considering they were playing away.

Meanwhile, the same thing can't really be said for Fulham, as they picked up their one point in front of the club's die hard fans at Craven Cottage.

While the Europa League continues to be treated as something of a sideshow by Spurs, is there anything we learned from last night's game as far as the playing personnel were concerned? Did anyone stand out enough to be rewarded with a step up to the first team and did the side indicate that they were capable enough to be trusted when the tougher Europa games come around?

A lot of the talk around the Spurs squad has centred around goalkeepers this week. Firstly, manager Harry Redknapp underlined the fact that he considers Brad Friedel to be the club's number one while at the same time, Carlo Cudicini has been trusted with the gloves in the Europa League.
That has led to transfer talk involving Heurelho Gomes and it's thought that the erratic Brazilian could be on his way as early as next January.

Tottenham play host to Liverpool on Sunday with both sides looking to enhance their top four aspirations.
Both sides will be aiming for a UEFA Champions League finish come the end of the season and they will be hoping to gain an early psychological edge with victory at White Hart Lane.
The hosts go into the game buoyed by their first win of the season over Wolves last weekend, while Liverpool will be seeking to bounce back from their defeat at Stoke last time.

Harry Redknapp has already told us to expect some more experience in the Spurs side to face Shamrock Rovers tonight and with players returning from injury, this should be the strongest team that we have put out in the Europa League since our opening game against Hearts.

It also makes it harder to predict but we can assume that Carlo Cudicini will continue in goal with Corluka and Bassong taking the centre half positions.
