Unfortunate...Things are not going well at present . Unfortunately Jol is having to build a new team - 2 new full backs and the playmaker gone . Not hepled by injuries ie King and Lennon . Defoe to me is mystery he does miss a lot of chances . He missed a golden chance Saturday and Man Utd at home last year should have scored a hat trick and missed the lot . I can never pick him in front of Keane and feel now Mido is here he will go in January . My worry is does he really want to play for Spurs . I feel Davids should have been sold in the Summer - I am not sure he is always a positve influence in the camp and with Murphy Zokara Huddlestone Ghally Jenas Ziegler Tainio we have enough in Midfield . If we want to be very attacking we can play Keane in the hole and 3 in midfield and 2 strikers up front . My concern is that last year we seemed to be a happy camp this year the vibes are not good and if players do not gel then however good they are results will be poor .Compare Aston Villa this season to last - same palyers but the camp is a happy camp . I think Jol needs to talk us up more .Pardew always talks up West Ham but Jol is a little too cautious in saying we should always be top 6 and looking to break into top 4 . All I seem to hear is we are not yet the prefect team . The good news is Liverpool and Aresnal have started badly but WHU , Everton , Villa will push us harder this year . We need to get on a winning run unless instead of looking at the top 6 we will be looking over our shoulders at the bottom 6 .Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23687321.post-1157969911921099972006-09-11T12:18:00.000+02:002006-09-11T12:18:00.000+02:00team for the next few gamES robboCHIM...team for the next few gamES<BR/> robbo<BR/>CHIMBONDA DAWSON KING EKOTTO<BR/><BR/> HUDD MURPHY ZAKORA<BR/><BR/> KEANE<BR/><BR/> BERBA/MIDO DEFOE<BR/><BR/>subs<BR/>cerny<BR/>gardnerAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23687321.post-1157968956427237442006-09-11T12:02:00.000+02:002006-09-11T12:02:00.000+02:00I find all this 'mentoring' value placed on Davids...I find all this 'mentoring' value placed on Davids risable. <BR/><BR/>No 'guru' in the field of motivational techniques etc etc would bill at 40 grand a week or whatever Davids is charging us. <BR/><BR/>And, they wouldn't run onto the pitch during a match and act the goat with this Panicky Predator (or whatever you called it Mr Hotspur) routine.<BR/><BR/>The Davids era is over and we can only hope someone points this out to MJ before much more damage is done.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23687321.post-1157967083285928832006-09-11T11:31:00.000+02:002006-09-11T11:31:00.000+02:00You've got to give Man U more credit. They were a ...You've got to give Man U more credit. They were a better team.<BR/><BR/>Jol put out the strongest team he could. Davids (although at the end of his career and looking less influential) has key experience against the biggest clubs, Jenas is perhaps our most talented ball-player (just needs to stamp his authority on games a bit more), Zokora was class, and Ghaly coped well after being rewarded for a good preseason and replaced the injured Lennon. <BR/>If anyone was to blame, it was our wasteful strikers who lost concentration at the vital times, ie. Defoe and Mido's headers. <BR/><BR/>For an away team, at the most intimidating stadium in the country, we retained the ball well and even dominated for portions of the game, which has to be put down to our midfield.<BR/><BR/>To call for Jol's head is insane... the only reason I could agree with his departure is if O'Neill or Capello offered themselves for the job. Jol took us to 5th place last season (remember that?) and we competed with, and nearly beat, all the best teams in the country. <BR/><BR/>My only criticism is to perhaps retain Davids' influence off the field (like his mentoring of Lennon at the beginning of last season), but start to play him slightly less and give Zokora the 'pitbull' role.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23687321.post-1157962855996397492006-09-11T10:20:00.000+02:002006-09-11T10:20:00.000+02:00Some of these comments, sicken me! please, does an...Some of these comments, sicken me! please, does anyone remember the mighty, pre-jol. yes its not been a great start. but you have to look at who we have played, everton look to have a good side and united look to be champions.

If ...I agree with the voices of having Jol removed. If the manager is on his way of ruining the team, someone has to protest. Davids, the notflying Dutchman, is the worst player I have seen in the Premiership, and his worst enemy on the pitch is the ball. Murphy is on the bench, probably one of the best passers in the EPL, and he could replace Carrick. Defoe is the best striker for years at the Lane and Jol doesnt like him/doesnt play him. Defoe is going to leave, how do you "Spurs-supporters" think of that. Who will leave next? Lennon? King? Dawson? We all want to compete at the top, but we never will with a manager like Jol. And we never will be a top club if we dont get a bigger stadium and a new policy regarding paying players. But firstly a new manager would be priority.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23687321.post-1157959358827874312006-09-11T09:22:00.000+02:002006-09-11T09:22:00.000+02:00Jol said in an interview on Friday that the depart...Jol said in an interview on Friday that the departure of Carrick meant that the right midfield combinations had to be worked out again. This makes sense. Also remember that with all the international football and us having so many new players they have been unable to settle. He had all the players together for one day only before the Man U game. Sure Man U were probably in the same boat, but they don't have as many new faces as we have and are far more accustomed to playing together. Then, when we create 5 or 6 chances against Man U but the players fail to take any, its rather stupid to blame the manager. Sure, I'd like to see Davids benched, and I'd have liked to see Defoe start on Saturday, but I'm sure Jol gave these ideas some consideration. We've had a bad start - but we're not the only ones, mind. After beating us last week, Everton this week spanked Liverpool 3-0, and Arsenal still don't have a win this season. Are Liverpool and Arsenal talking about firing Benitez and Wenger? I don't think so. I detest the fact that we've lost three out of four, but lets get behind Jol and the team and the results are sure to start coming.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23687321.post-1157958856642430692006-09-11T09:14:00.000+02:002006-09-11T09:14:00.000+02:00No we are not going in the right direction. Anyone...No we are not going in the right direction. Anyone who persists in picking a player who gives away possession as often as Davids does and then leaves a player on an nobvious high after scoring for England (albeit against dummies) on the bench must be questioned.<BR/><BR/>I agree with the comments about Ghaly, he looks a prety good all round midfielder and can pick a pass, which is something Jenas cannot do. However with Lennon injured and Malbranque crocked it may be that Jenas will scrape in against Fulham. If nothing else he does cover a lot of ground.<BR/><BR/>Robinson is also a worry. He had a poor world cup and frankly has not played well for months. Both Jol and the media in general have been very kind to him over the Campo and Giggs goals. He was clearly ar fault for both.<BR/><BR/>Positives are that the back four with King back looked ok. The two full backs looked very solid - Stalteri get your bags packed (and take Davids with you).<BR/><BR/>The efforts of Europe midweek may cloud the issue but despite all seemingly sound reasons being given, losing three out of four and only beating some newly promoted whipping boys must mean people being dropped for Fulham.<BR/><BR/>My team is Cerny; Chimbonda, King, Dawson, Ekotto; Jenas, Ghaly, Zakora, Taino; Berbatov, Defoe<BR/><BR/>Subs; Fulop, Davenport, O'Hara, Mido, Keane.<BR/><BR/>Murphy seems finished to me as a Premiership player (another poor buy) and Huddlestone is a gentle giant who badly needs to toughen up. He also likes the Carrick comfort zone and that is a luxury we cannot afford.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23687321.post-1157956246119140372006-09-11T08:30:00.000+02:002006-09-11T08:30:00.000+02:00Hi Guy's,This is really simple, sure Jol may make ...Hi Guy's,<BR/><BR/>This is really simple, sure Jol may make some mistakes, but generally we are going in the right direction.<BR/><BR/>Everyone seems to be moaning about MJ but what's the alternative?
