Highlight: A majestic performance in Spurs home victory against the European Champions.
Lowlight: Picking up an injury just as he found his goalscoring form against West Brom.
Average We Are Tottenham Match Rating: 6.94/10

This technically-gifted midfielder began the season in fine form before picking up an injury which stopped him in his tracks just as he was running the show at the Hawthorns. Once he had left the field, Spurs were a much less impressive team, and this displays the influence that Modric can have on the side.

The Croatian took some time to regain his rhythm after his return from injury, but his importance to the team has reemerged as his fitness has improved. Central to Tottenham's wonderful wins against Inter Milan and Arsenal, Modric has shown that he can be a consistently quality performer in the centre of the park. He could very well fill the void left by Tom Huddlestone's absence with his playmaking skills, ability to glide past physically superior opponents and his eye for the penetrative pass. A strong start to the season overall and there could well be more to come in the form of goals, the lack of which is arguably the only real criticism one could level at him.

Highlight: Stunning volley late on against Bolton.
Lowlight: Mad 10 minutes against Blackburn where he missed a penalty and a gilt-edged chance from a stray backpass.

From day one of the season, Pavlyuchenko's undoubted finishing ability has not been enough to warrant him first-choice status amongst his forward-thinking colleagues. Spurs begun the season with Defoe and Crouch the starting pair, and despite an injury to Defoe, the signing of van der Vaart resulted in Pavlyuchenko maintaining his bit-part status. The Russian has been forced to make the most of some limited opportunities this season but has still managed 5 league goals, the most recent a wonderful touch and finish in the box against the current Premier League Champions.

Although capable of the sublime, his volley away at Bolton another highlight, Pav can disappoint with his hold-up play and first touch, and it is tough to argue that he should be a regular starter due to his tendency to drift in and out of games. However, with five league goals to his name already, he remains an important weapon within Harry Redknapp's squad. A crucial late strike in Bern also helped Spurs qualify for what has already been a remarkable Champions League campaign, and despite his flaws, Pavlyuchenko remains a popular figure to the White Hart Lane crowd.
