Spurs and Rags

[bluemoondays]

Huddlestone and Pienaar are your 1st choice midfielders....hmmm

Best you drop Modric and Parker to the sub bench for the rest of the season and see how you get on :D

Jenas is on loan to villa, so how can he be one of your main midfielders?

He didn't leave until after the game against you, he was just injured. He would have played if he were fit, as would all the others I listed.

Tbh I don't even think Modric would have played in that game if we weren't so decimated by injuries at that point in time at central midfield. We went to Old Trafford with Livermore and Kranjcar in there

No, they are 4th and 5th choice. I was demonstrating how we were down to our sixth and seventh choice CMs when we played you. Had Huddlestone and Pienaar been fully fit I'm sure they would have started against you in that game, sadly we were scraping the bare bones

Not being funny but even if he did play we would still have won. We was just too good that day. Spurs are playing well at the minute though can't take that away from you

Spurs have no real strength in depth, their fans will argue this point but then say that the only reason they lost to us was they had a couple of key players out. Like I said, no strength in depth. Soon as they start losing a few to injury they will start losing again.

Not including Parker, we were missing King, Sandro, Huddlestone, Pienaar and Jenas. Thats our first 4 choice midfielders and our center back captain. Modric could easily be added to that list because despite playing his clearly wasn't up for it, getting subbed for Livermore in the second half tells you that.

If Spurs played a City side with similar injuries to Kompany, Nasri, Toure, De Jong, Barry and a distracted Silva I reckon we'd turn you over too.

City possibly have the most quality in depth than anyone else in the world as you obviously already know, but I wouldn't say we are lacking depth. Only injuries to Adebayor and possibly Assou-Ekotto will really hit us hard as we don't have any top quality to replace them.

Of course injuries to Modric, Parker, King etc... will hurt us but with players like Huddlestone, Sandro, and Dawson waiting in the wings we have enough back up to give anyone a game. When teams get down to sixth and seventh choices like Kranjcar and Livermore they never stand a chance against other top teams.

mate, kings always missing and jenas, shes never been any good.

Don't disagree, you were great that day. If we want to beat you, we need to be at full strength. The side we played today would easily give you a game at White Hart Lane. Sadly we can't play Adebayor against you (more than enough reason for us to buy him in January if the rumours are true) so will struggle at Eastlands later in the season.

Just caught the last 20 minutes on 5live, bloody motson was having a wankathon over them, then chappers came on licking bent arry's arse it was proper sicking

Also the exact same thing on Talk Shite. They were doing the same last season until the wheels came off towards the end. Fornicators.

You're always missing King so he doesn't really count. A man with knees made of strawberries can't really be counted on, no matter how good he is when he is occasionally fit. Your Modric excuse is bollocks too, 'arry was on sly sports(when isn't he) this very night telling anyone who would listen that Modric has been the model pro all season and has never let the "trouble he had in the summer" affect his training or his performances on the pitch.
Even Spurs fans think Pienner is nothing more than average and he hasn't exactly lit up the pitch when he's played, in fact he's been mostly dog shit, so saying you missed him is bollocks yet again. Jenas ? FFS he's gash and I don't mean the nice kind of gash that you can stick your dick in. Jenas! fuck me!
So that leaves Sandro, Huffnpuff, Parker and Bad Ade as Spurs fans like to call him. Sandro's a good player and would be missed as is Parker, although he is vastly overrated by the press because he runs a lot and he's English, just a poor mans NDJ tbh. I can see that you'd miss our reject Ade because without him you'd have to rely on Defoe and Pavlefuckingwhatsisname.

Like I said, no real strength in depth, a few injuries and you're fucked.

You've got a crap load of midfielders but, frankly imho, once you take out your top 4 of Bale, Lennon, Modric & Parker they are lacking in quality.

Sandro may be OK but Krancjar, Pienaar, Livermore (still a baby) and Huddlestone are middling to average PL quality and not a patch on your 1st choices. How many times does 'Arry play those players, goes to show how much trust he has in them.

You've got to go back to September to see a rare start from another midfielder (not counting Europa games) and 'Arry is going to burn them out or get injuries if he doesn't rotate those 4 sometime.

We can't match you for quality in depth, no question, but I think you underrate Sandro and Huddlestone. Sandro would be playing if not for the exceptional performances of Parker thus far this season, he was actually picked by most pundits in the season previews as our 'one to watch'. Huddlestone and Pienaar have been injured all season and likely would be getting game time as subs if they weren't.

As for Pienaar, Kranjcar and Livermore, I wouldn't be comfortable seeing any of them start in a big game at CM. I'd have faith in any 2 of Modric/Parker/Huddlestone/Sandro though.
