TEAM TACTICS

That's a good post Jim....

For all the plaudits our play is receiving of late, I'd be far happier if over the next few games we were to rack up a couple of boring 1-0 wins in a Mourhinoesque like fashion ...Get into the lead then strangle the life out of the game , if only for my ticker !

I hear you with your long ball concerns ...If its used sporadicaly, then Im fine with it and I do believe with the ommisions of Dawson and Huddlestone from the team we have seen it less.......
All to often we use it when our opponents are defending their third and are all set for it and for me thats wrong...However, using it to catch an attacking opponent on the hop like we did for the Lennon goal against Pool is justified ..

I also have been saying that Bale and Lennon have to be more than just wingers , the best wingers usualy are those that also display their skills infield too and hopefully with, Lennon's confidence returning and him getting over his groin problem, we will see more of this as we have recently ....I want to see more from Bale down the middle , i.e. goal versus the a*se and Lennons winner and last minute run at the Pool defence ....

We're not far off , just need to tighten up with some clean sheets and Birmingham away with their meagre 7 goals scored at home this season would be a good start... coys !!

if i wrote this post dj and lew would be moaning at me lol

its good that other people see all this aswell. To think the worst liverpool team in recent years could of been out of site before we scored. blackburn should of scored at least 3 goals.

harry needs to use hes subs more.

big test on saturday. birmingham away. we dont tend to win there so this wil be a big win if we can manange it

Birmingham have been a bit of A bogey team for us though Arnie.

Not really lought ! i have said its everyones right to have a go on here about the team they support, if you want the absolute truth i am sick of players like palacios,modric and lennon needlessly giving the ball back to the opposition and put us on the back foot again, but we are still winning so i cant complain.

I only heard the liverpool game on radio 5 but it was mentioned that we break down an attack, and then give the ball back to opposition to help them mount another one.

The thing is we seem to be displaying character, we never give up, so you have to excuse the lads for these little indiscretions, they deserve the kudos they are getting at the moment and i for one are not going to put a dampener on it by having a moan about giving ball possession away so cheaply.

I,ll just sit back, stay quiet and enjoy the rollercoaster ride....you know its never been easy being a tottenham supporter.

lew lucky you didnt watch the 1st half. you would of though wp was wearin a red shirt. time after time he gave the ball back the liverpool. there was 1 time it seemed harder to pass to them then our own players but wp still managed it lol

i hope jenas comes back soon. and then hopefully see more of sandro to see if hes up for it. wp form been poor for to long now

There a tough opponent Baz but I expect nothing less than a win and hoping for a clean sheet cos they're not all that upfront.. ...If they score more than one against us like the free scoring Bolton Barcelona Wanderers recently did , then it means we're really really bad at defending ....
