In defence to Bale, his contribution won us the game, without him we are very mediocre.

Made the first goal, scored the second, and then gifted one to Liverpool.

First half, him and Lennon were running the show, second half we did the usual sit back and defend

but this time got lucky.

Is it the players or AVB'S tactics to sit back and defend when leading? Still not convinced by him.

[uptheos]

During the first 25 minutes I thought Liverpool were in for an almighty hammering. Then, Spurs suddenly took their foot off the pedal, in a most surreal way they transformed.....quite mystifying. However, I watched it this morning without knowing the result, none of that getting up at 3am for me.

At on the matter of own goals reminds me that Bale is still being a <deleted> diving. Shame he has still got this in his game. He really doesn't do himself justice.

between his crap diving and that bloody awful goal celebration bale seems like a bit of a knob.

Wrong again steve, between him being kicked in the air and admittedly suspect goal celebrations, he's one of the best players in the premiership!!!.

Were struggling for midfielders that can bring the ball out from defence, like say parker can, dembele can but i got the feeling he's still feeling the effects of his injury cos as the game wore on his effectiveness waned. and defoe as much as he's on fire scoring he cant 'hold' and the ball just comes bac far 2 easily, thank fuc Liverpool were impotent in front of goal!!!!

A mate of mine has just written a book about the bar scene in Pattaya and it features a story about a Spurs fan in bar which he claims is true. I asked him if he would put it up on his web-site so everyone could read it.

If you would like to read it - go here - http://thai-lottery.net/page9.html

The book is really good - Its called Thai Lottery... and Other Stories from Pattaya, Thailand and his name is Matt Carrell

His web site is www.thai-lottery.net

It obviously wasn't smokie !!!!!!!!!!

[smokie36]

Great story.

A real test away to Fulham on Saturday. I hope Dembele is able to play a good 90 mins in this one.....we looked great for half an hour against the scousers but we'll have to do it for far longer at the weekend to get a result I think.

Any news on the injuries? Adebayor still out for one more isn't he?

you have asked the nasty question,i remember when harry took over from ramos,he got stuck into the players,them telling him where they would play and what they would do during the game.

is AVB allowing this pathetic sit back and try and asborb huge amounts of pressure,we are not a defensively good enought side to do that.

good sides will find a way through.

Fulham are OK, but I think Spurs have enough to beat them, should be a good game.

Seems players stay out longer in the winter.......fairies. New law: no gloves, mittens, scarves, long sleeve vests, long johns or matching handbags.....they're bloody men!..........Geez, even the tape on their legs has to match

yes,still class,never forget how he played for the lads a few years back,i think at bolton,who we never seem to beat,spurs had one sent off early and berbatov played the perfect game as a lone striker,held the ball up and put real effort in.

I wonder what SAF thought of that in private? Bet he had a right laugh with a few managers over a glass or two of Bordeaux.....!

More interested in AVB's response. He should be on the touchline shouting at them to get stuck in!

Edit: And keep a high line....but only if Gallas aint playing.

yes it AVBs call,but is he happy with this sitting to deep thing,i am only watching on tv,so i cant see what freund or AVB are doing,at least when we had joe jordan the camera would go to him quite regulary hoping to catch him on the verge of "come aheed"

Yeah he just sits there mostly or waves his coat tail around. "Man at Burton" aint a good look neither....someone should have a word.......

[macksview]

"man at burton"? mens high street retailer?,he loves his coats,probably my salary for a month.

I doubt very much that AVB is telling them to go on the defensive, i think it is a mental thing with the players and they just seem to panick and lose there composure, similar to a team of seventeen year olds !

Dave Mackay use to wear gloves on the field ................only they were boxing gloves !

Edited November 30, 2012 by alfieconn

[carmine]

Actually AVB could hire Dave Mackay shout shout and threaten players if they didn't make the tackle. That would sort our defense out.

Don't know what anyone else thought but from what i saw Freund looked a right pussy sitting on the bench on wednesday night

Edited November 30, 2012 by carmine

Scott Parker back in two weeks. Very good news if you follow the tactical view of a 4-2-3-1 with Sandro alongside Parker holding with Dembele moved further up.

I am really hoping that a combination of those two will put an end to this pathetic second half mentality once and for all and we start to destroy teams as our first half performances have been threatening to do.

I really don't think that AVB is telling the team to sit back and defend deeper. I agree with Alfie, its a mental thing and requires more leadership on the pitch which Parker will.

Nice to see AVB putting Modric in his place. Classless balkan midget
