Well Done Boys but no thanks for Crouch

I don't think we should get to carried away. They completely outplayed us in the first half. Their passing was so superior to ours they always seemed to have so much more space than we did. I know going down to 10 men didn't help but we were all over the place from the start.

Because the 2nd half was so exciting or at least the last 20 mins you look at it in a different way. But if we are honest one man on his own saved our embarassement BALE!!!! Those first 2 goals of his were pure individualism. He took it from his own half and went all the way. The third had a great pass from Lennon but our revival was not a team effort but down to one man. With the exception of Bale, Jenas ....who I thought had a very good game going forward one of his best for a long time.....and Lennon at times, the rest were sh*t.

If they play like that at the Lane and Bale doesn't get those runs going.....and they will be marking him very tight in the return....we could be in trouble

It reminded me of the "Ossie" days, 4-3 exciting to watch but no points.
They are a great technical side and they will have learnt from that the same as I hope we have.

A great exciting game and after you felt so pumped up you wanted it to go on. But one man and one man only did it OUR BOY BALE. Other than the other 2 I mentioned the rest looked 2nd class.

He had 3 good chances but could not take them, one word he is a liability
I am very proud with the boys except Crouch as far as I am concerned he should be off loaded in January

Point taken we were missing regulars but injuries and suspensions are part and parcel of the game ... Having a settled central defence is also a priority and I'm sorry to say , at a high level I dont feel that Hutton is up to it defensively and neither is Crouch as a striker , especialy a lone one at that...

errrrrrrrrrrrrr ! crouch was a tottenham defender last night was he ? what about bassong/ what about hutton?

Shouldnt they be offloaded in jan as well?

Sure ! i know that, LOL.....errrrr ! i dont think in the opening 20 mins that the spurs team were actually so clear minded as to think ...dohhhhhhhh ! why arent we attacking because its the best form of defence

Well ok then, ship out bassong and hutton if you like, kaboul and dawson or king can play on crutches
