Good point. But he needs to get accustomed more to the physicality and tempo of the PL imo.

Mata needs a rest so badly. I know he is our best player, but he is so exhausted I honestly think that starting Kalou or Florent on the left wing would probably be better.

The longer you look at that pic the funnier it gets.

What's the point in loaning him back to the Belgian league? He already he's already proved himself there, now he needs experience in the PL to prove himself in England.

He definitely has the potential and has shown glimpses of a world class player (That goal against BlackBurn is worthy only of Maradona!). But like BluesMaster said, he is way too inconsistent, maybe in a couple of years if he proves himself more.

Was just looking at the La Liga table and noticed that, Barcelona and Real Madrid aside, Athletico Madrid have conceded the least number of goals so far this season. Very impressive Mr. Courtois!

Watching Zaragoza vs athletico and hoping courtois has a good game.

even when we did play the diamond, Anelka always ended up going wide. Our team is too used to 4-3-3 and the similar formations.

^^ Those people take football too seriously!

Made one yesterday and should've gotten a pen for it.

I agree. I for one voted for Garry, but seeing as Mata and Torres got votes I expected him to get more votes. In general my post was aimed at a few who were saying that his performance was abysmal.

Honestly I saw no difference compared to his performance on the right. He made a few dribbles and runs then disappeared completely in the second half.

Neymar? Hazard? Gotze? Who needs this sad bunch when we got Kakuta?

Cech Iva-Cahil-Terry-Cole Romeu-Mikel Danny-Lamps-Kalou Torres

I was hoping for our momentum to continue for a few more games, I am very aware of our squad's problems. Spurs actually played shit and we could have taken advantage of that had our tactics not been so hopelessly wrong.

Much less confident of our chances of going through after today's performance. Let's hope Roberto can find the winning formula again.

I have to disagree. Slow is not always bad. In the second half, our players looked like head-less chickens most of the time, someone needed to slow down, keep position and play a decent pass for a change and Lamps tried to do that. He also defended well and always made himself available to receive a pass. And most importantly he was still trying in the attack when others seemed to have given up. I really don't see much wrong with Frank's performance today.

I'm surprised Frank didn't get any vote for MOTM. I thought he had one of his best performances this season. He controlled the tempo of the game in the first half and was crucial to our dominating the play. In the second half, he was really the only one that showed any intent going forward whilst everyone else seemed to had lost the plot. He played some excellent balls behind the Tottenham defense throughout the game and a couple almost paid off. Though he was overshadowed by both Cahil and Cech, he deserves some mention for his performance today, imo.

Milan and Roma are drawing before 15 mins. Roma where dominating the game until Milan got a pen and equalized.

The first half was very tactical (some people would say boring, but I personally like this style of play) with a few chances 'half-chances' falling our way and single chance for Tottenham at the end after essien and Bosingwa switched off but cech and cole made two consecutive unbelievable saves. But overall, Tottenham seemed happy to just park the bus. The second half was quite the opposite. The game just opened up while the midfield players of both sides were all over the place but both sides lacked the quality to score. It was no where near good attacking from football from either squad but rather 22 individuals running about without intent or a master plan. We should have had a pen when Ekotto to out Ramires in the pen area in a quick counter; Mata's FK hit the post then Bale hit the bar with header and Cahil salvaged a point for us with an amazing tackle after Adebayor got past cech. (Kylehimself posted a gif of the tackle in the previous page if you want to see it) In the end both teams seemed content with the draw which is understandable in Tottenham's case but shocking from our players.

Bayern are really putting pressure on Dortmund. They beat hannover 2-1 today though they could've had at least 5 more tbh. I don't know why, but I have a feeling Bayern will just nick the title in the end.

Played the last 20mins in his team's home defeat to everton today.Anyone watched the match and can tell us how Josh performed?

Fixed it.

Not to mention losing any width Bosingwa provided.
