He may not have played since the FA Cup defeat by Leicester on January 24 but Emmanuel Adebayor does not appear to be giving up his Tottenham career easily . The out-of-favour striker took to Instagram on Monday to post a cryptic message , perhaps making reference to his current situation under manager Mauricio Pochettino . Alongside a picture of himself sitting in a car , the former Arsenal man wrote : 'When life puts you in tough situations . Do n't say 'why me ' . Just say 'try me ' . ' Tottenham striker Emmanuel Adebayor attached a defiant message to this picture of himself on Instagram . Adebayor has made just 11 Premier League appearances for Tottenham so far this season . Adebayor came close to joining West Ham on loan in the January transfer window and he has found it difficult to break into Mauricio Pochettino 's starting XI this year . His last Premier League appearance came as a substitute against Sunderland on January 17 and he has just two top-flight goals to his name this season . Younes Kaboul and Etienne Capoue have also struggled for playing time in 2015 but Pochettino has refused to confirm whether the trio will leave White Hart Lane this summer . Former Arsenal striker Adebayor last played for Tottenham on January 24 in the FA Cup against Leicester . Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino has demoted Adebayor to the club 's third-choice striker in recent months . Speaking about squad selection ahead of his side 's 2-1 win at QPR on Saturday , the former Southampton boss said : 'Always for every game it 's my decision , my choice . ' I think that you understand . In the end , all of our squad is fully fit and you need to pick players . ' I am happy with all , but if we have 26 or 27 players in the squad then more than 18 is impossible . '
