Corluka,s turn.

To be criticised ! well it has been jenas,palacios, keane and others over a period of time, now corluka.

To be fair a few spurs players look dodgy at times so i dont want to join the anti corluka bandwagon but corluka does look very slow, i am surprised that walker has gone out on loan because he is supposedbly the fastest player at spurs,?

Ekotto is also coming in for a bit of flak, but i must admit i think he is one of the most improved players at spurs over the last two seasons, he does have the odd gaff, and unfortunately for him it usually results in a goal for the opposition, but i still like the bloke at left back, i would rather bale left midfield than full back, it would upset our attacking options.

I have to say i was wrong about kaboul because when we first got him i stated i dont rate him but he is a good player wherever he plays.......he does a good job.

The thing is we as fans can see how slow corluka is , none of us here are professional footballers or managers yet we can still see the obvious flaws in his game, lastnight he got turned so many times and when he gets foward i worry abit because hes not the fastest getting back to defend .

Ok i like corluka i have no problem with his commitment & passion but hes obviously a weak link , and other manager will see this and attack more down that side like Werder did lastnight, there manager saw it and he brought on Marin who just ran Corluka ragged .

And his cross (playing at right back) lead to our goal at Citeh and Champs League place.

As supporters I believe we do have a right to comment, criticise, if you like, when a player does not perform. Yes, Ekotto has improved, but his over confidence does lead to goals being scored against us. Why try to bend a ball with the outside of his left boot, deep in our own half for it to go out for a throw that lead to the goal, row z in their half would have probably seen us to half time 2-0 up.

I think a lot of our comments are born out of frustration that these same players can perform, take Jenas as an example, superb last night, why cant he do that all the time?

With you on this Baz.... We cant afford Charlies lack of pace against the speed of top players ...

Not that I would swap him for Hutton. But Kaboul has made a good claim to the RB spot when our central defenders are fit. he was massive in that spot last season.

I would also drop Lennon for Bentley right now. Lennon is playing nowhere near his best and Bentley was on his game at the end of last season. But there are so many options in midfield right now. we certanly have the players for playing 4-5-1 formations thats for sure. Lennon would regain some confidence comming on late in matches against tired defences.

I still think the right back spot should have gone to walker, but thats a no go now! perhaps harry thinks he isnt ready, as for lennon i have always said he should come on last 30 mins to run at tired defences.

yea makes sence vis. that way they can help each other out and kaboul can push up more
