I was ridiculed on this site last autumn for suggesting we sold King, however good he is, because twenty games a season max was simply not enough and I will be proven right. Rocha was a crazy buy. UEFA Cup tied for one and knowing King had long term problems. Also he is weak in the air and every tackle/interception has an air of "last minute desperation about it". We persevered too long with Gardner. Dawson has not had a great season but he has never had an opportunity for a rest. Then there is Robinson, a decent close range shot stopper but bugger all else. He hails to dominate his six yard box and you get the feeling tht any half decent shot form 25 yards+ will fly past him. Only Chimbonda can look back on the season's work and feel satisfied.<BR/><BR/>I'll save the rest of the team for another blog but all you dreamers beware. Don't think that a couple of buys will transform our fortunes because the work we need is more than cosmetic. Also don't think we can attract the top players because we cannot and worse of all we will never hold on to the few we do have of genuine Champions League class whilst we leak goals like this.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23687321.post-43363786344050026952007-04-17T09:15:00.000+02:002007-04-17T09:15:00.000+02:00left back - in baines out BAEleft midfield - m g p...left back - in baines out BAE<BR/>left midfield - m g pedersen / m petrov / robben / j cole<BR/>centre mid - barton for jenas, hargreaves for zokora?<BR/>It doesn't matter who we play up front if we haven't got a balanced team hence the left side players mentioned.<BR/>As for the frontline I'd like to see crouch for mido.

This could probably improve zokora's game as I think keane is clever enough to make the most out of his game, not to mention the service to the front two/ wingers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23687321.post-92101026967508742792007-04-17T09:01:00.000+02:002007-04-17T09:01:00.000+02:00Hey guys, Thanks for the praise for the post.

It's hard to say what it is about him, but I'd put it down to a lack of imagination or creativity. He has the tools to be a solid player, but I doubt he'll ever put it together. Zokora and Tainio are useful players who understand their role and can always be counted on to fight, which is all you can really ask for. <BR/><BR/>I'm glad to see that the calls for Martin Jol's head have dissipated, and that dannyboy has recognized the importance of king's absence from the squad on our defensive stability which he denied a while back (I remember).<BR/><BR/>stay positive my friends, we're only a kallstrom away from glory.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23687321.post-23265017115248766242007-04-16T22:33:00.000+02:002007-04-16T22:33:00.000+02:00Hi HH (and Danny Boy)Good to see you have a nice s...Hi HH (and Danny Boy)<BR/><BR/>Good to see you have a nice site going here Harry. I am afraid you are more than right about Robbo and shoot on sight. How many points has he lost us this season? What does his continued uncertainty do to the defence in front of him? I love the guy for how he comes across, his desire to play for us for life (said something along such lines when he signed a long contract a while back) but if we want to be seriously succesfull we probably have to be ruthless.<BR/><BR/>PS is SIMBB dead and buried, and say hello to Nick and Sarah and the rest from me if you are still in touch<BR/><BR/>PS2 I suspected that Danny-post wasn't our Danny Boy.

It is about good organization especially in midfield and mentality. I wonder whether losing Carrick is the reason for our defensive woes. We never really noticed him and everyone expected him to be scoring goals but I think he did a great job of organising the midfield and acting as an intelligent shield for the back four. <BR/>BTW Robinson and Jenas really need to wake up.

But in my opinion our biggest problem is a woeful midfield and a keeper that for some reason has turned into a dodge pot.(how many goals has he cost us this season ????) Our midfield offers very little protection too our back four. Any one that thinks that clown jenas is good enough is BLIND. He went stale up in newcastle and hasnt improved one iota in the last five years. The four or five goals he scores from midfield in no way justifies his place on the team. For me hed have to score twice in every game because he offers very little else. Zakora deserves a chance to show what he can do. Afterall hes only been here a few months(not years like some)but lets be honest he hasnt in any way looked like the real deal. Thud will always struggle because of his size and pace(or lack of it).I really dont see him as the answer. As for the rest,ghaly,murphy,tainio i dont think so. Lets move onto our wide players or lack of them shall i say. Theres no doubt lennon is highly promising and improving all the time but thats it sadly. There are no more. Steed is not a wide player by any means and i personally would like to see him in the middle. Taarabt to be fair does look promising but we,ave only seen him for about ten min,s.<BR/>Id like to see him get a start or two before the end of the season.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23687321.post-59490861419906924662007-04-16T17:19:00.000+02:002007-04-16T17:19:00.000+02:00Was the poster 'danny' actually our very own 'dann...Was the poster 'danny' actually our very own 'dannyboy'?<BR/><BR/>We should be told!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23687321.post-23343436726468387522007-04-16T16:42:00.000+02:002007-04-16T16:42:00.000+02:00Oh yeah Dannyboy - You forgot to include Lennon, h...Oh yeah Dannyboy - You forgot to include Lennon, he runs much too fast and in a very funny manner...a bit like a speedy penguin...he just ain't right for the image of perfect Spurs...:)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
