Pletikosa - 5 - a debut to forget

Naughton - 4 - Looked out of his depth

Caulker - 3 - Looked good untill given pen away

Bassong - 6 - Awful pen to give away which was a shame because until Extra Time I thought he handled himself quite well.

Ekotto - 5 - Cruyff turns in dangerous places may have some drooling, but his all round play and defensive game was poor.

Gio - 2 - You just have to feel sorry for the kid. Finally gets to play in his favoured formation and then played on the wrong flank!

Sandro - 6 - Positive signs, worked his a*se off. Little sloppy in possession at times but his static team mates won't have helped and he was getting tired.

Livermore - 4 - Started well but as soon as the tempo increased he became a passenger.

Palacios - 5 - The usual mixed bag. Excellent challenges coupled with being caught in possession and stupid passes. Had a very good second half, a very poor first half and a poor extra time.

Bentley - 2 - I don't want to write too much because I am so angry about his performance. But he was played completely out of position.

Pav - 6 - Very very poor up top by himself. Wasbetter when we switched to 4-4-2 he run hes socks of in injury time but nobdy seem to be near him

Subs :

Keane - 5 - Lucky goal, worked hard but his touch was heavy, his movement poor (the amount of times he ran off the shoulder of the last man into an offside position and then threw a wobbly when the ball wasn't played to him) and like Pav didn't hold much up top to allow the midfield to get into the game.

Lennon - 5 - Couldn't find any space to work in, but when he had the ball did very little with it.

Kranky - 3 - Central midfield? Seriously Harry, WTF?

--

Redknapp - 3 - Awful team selection. It was like he expected Arsenal to field an extremely weak side. Rectified it for the 2nd half but even then made the wrong sub IMO. Bentley should've come off with Gio moving wide left and Lennon wide right just to give us proper balance. Then Kranky should've come on with 15 minutes of normal time to play for Gio. I really don't know what Harry was thinking today, but it backfired massively.
or even bring hudd on

So thats a thumbs up then lought?

Seriously lought ! it was like a new team out there, fringe players mixed with youth, players back from injury........1-1 full time, took the goons 2 penalties to get their heads in front of a team that grossly underperformed according to your ratings.

As i said in another thread ,it was just unfortunate that when we could actually field an experimental side in a competition that is less in the scheme of things on the tottenham agenda then it has to be against the fcking goons.

My Ratings


Pletikosa- 5 agree with lought shocker

Naughton - 5 did well against meercat till freekick head was down

Caulker- 6 not a pen in my eyes did well apart from extra time when u could see he was ruunning on empty

Bassong- 7 best game for a long time good blocks had vela in pocket not a pen very harsh

Ekotto - 6 stop with the turns in your own half bum fluff face

Gio - 5 Tracked back couple of decent tackles hardly touched the ball though

Sandro- 7 nervous to start off but got a lot better has the game wore on could be quite a good player

WP- 5 What has happend to him think his brother being murdered has hindered his career poor lad

Livermore-6 did quite well best of our mid first half but booked and looked very close to getting sent off

Bentley-3 Greedy Greedy Greedy should of scored with his head should of played in gio for a 1 on 1 instead of shooting

Pav-6 tried his little russian cotton socks off first half looked more at home with Keane

subs

Keane- 8 tried to motivate the team took his goal well it was Pav always offside not Keane the hardest trier best game for a while and u lose 4-1 hmmmmm

Lennon-5 dont think he could be arsed they is a problem with him and its doing my head in

Kranky-4 not long enough should of started feel sorry for him not getting much game time whats he done wrong?

oh wp is wilson palcious lol

agree with you about Sandro although he had a few wayward passes the guys looks the part stronge in midfield likes to tackle and gets up and down the field , like him alot, i thought caulker looked great i like him to

i have no problem with harry playing the kids. but when he does this he sets them up so defensive. 3 in defence midfeild at home. who was meant to push up. we sat back and let them have the ball. its sumthing u shouldnt do aganst them.

I just think he got the balance wrong Baz, should have gone with Hutton at right back and Jenas in the middle with Sandro, Arsenal loaded the middle with experienced players, however, I do understand protecting the likes of VDV, Modders etc, if we want to finish in the top four again, we must play our best in the league.

sid baz is not sayin we should of played the strong players. its how harry set us up. playin kranker on left bentley on right hardly rocket sciennce. krankar hasnt started a game in ages and wont get many more chances now we are out the league cup unless we get more injuries

it says to me kranker is so far down the peckin order that harry dont fancy him anymore.

Not really Lought, when we bought Kranj, Modders had broken his leg, who would you play? a fit Modric or Kranj?

they looked like they didnt know where they was meant to play. gio seemed so lost he had to come in midfeild to get the ball.

wp sandro livermoor all defensve midfeilders none of them seem to wana push up leavin us so deep. i feel sorry for livermoor he looks ok but got booked and was taken off.
