OK a slow start and didn't really wake up until Villa had scored but after that there was only 1 team who where going take the 3 points and that was. Up to 5th place and deservedly so. VDV was simply outstanding again. This guy has what it takes to become one of our all time greats. Gomes had very little to do but what he did do was safe. Hutton was excellent bot occasionally seems to get caught out of posistion when going forward, but also has the pace to recover and get back. Ekotto had another tidy game with only the odd lapse of concentration. Bassong was great. The only recognised centre-half and did his job with aplomb. Thudd looks uneasy at C/H but done his job well & we do miss his passing when he plays here. Moddle was good. I think it was Shear & Arnie who pointed out his off the ball contribution on Wednesday and this was apparent today, as was his on the ball play. Jay-Narse had a good time, mostly tidy & dilligent and even inventive at times. Is he starting to become the player he has the poetential to be ???. Bale was Bale was Bale was great, and what we now expect from him, shame about the silly booking at the end. Crouch was his usual self & had a head/hand in both goals but he did have a couple of clear cut chances that he should've done much, much better with. Pavy looked up for it from the start and unless he had a little niggle it was a tactical masterstroke from 'arry to bring him off. Unfortunate for Pavy as he deserved to stay on the pitch. Lennon showed touches of his old self and also, at times, the general malaise that seems to be affecting his game of late but over-all he can take confidence from today and hopefully move forward. Sgt Wilson came on and gave extra insurance thro' the middle of the park for the closing stages and Sandra just didn't have enough time to make any kind of impression. All told a very good afternoon's work. My only gripe is seeing Spurs players surrounding a Ref and questioning his decision in cards when Collins hacked down Lennon. This is a side of the game, I personally, do not like to see . . . . .
