Re: Sv: Spurs post match
To be honest I hope your both correct ('idiotic' is a bit harsh btw). I'm not convinced by Fernando's passing ability and he was at fault for their 1st goal with dilly dallying. Fernandinho was consistently very good last season but I think the world cup has massively affected his confidence. If they improve then ill be quite happy to see them play together but going by yesterday, no.

Fernando and Fernandinho, aren't the answer as a pairing, very frustrating to watch. A better team would have punished us and although are attacking threat is ever present, Pellegrini needs to sort out the midfield, and fast. Kompany didn't have his greatest game either and reminded me of Arsenal away in that he goes flying into challenges and gets left hopelessly out of position.
Neither of the Ferns were fully fit yesterday so to tag them with the 'not the answer' tag is both premature and idiotic.

Merlin was getting kicked to fuck yesterday. You could see it from wherever you were in the ground. I don't think he gave up, he never does, but I can certainly forgive him if he thought sod this for a game of soldiers, if this goes on my ankle's going to go big time and I'll be out for a month or more. I think Pellegrini came to the same conclusion, hence the taking off. In any case, Merlin even on a poor day is doing more than 80 percent of all other midfielders in the PL playing at their best.
Speaking as someone who was very dubious about Sagna, I thought he had a fairly tidy game. Fernando was really poor - not just the mistake on the goal, anyone can do that, his tackling was frequently mistimed. Both keepers are world class, and both kept their respective teams in the game at different points. A fair result, but for them, might have been about 7-3.
A terrific game of football to watch, and hey, we're still not playing at our best, and we just comprehensively beat a team that has pretensions to finishing in the top five or so. Almost everyone can and will get better, with the possible exception of Jimmy, who is playing brilliantly, as if he has a point to prove, and Kun, whose abilities are just frightening. The biggest single question in my mind: can Aguero stay more or less injury free this season. If yes, then we'll whittle away that lead and catch Chelsea. Sooner or later. No doubt about that, for me.

Haha :P
I need to take myself away from pre-match threads!
I did think Joe Hart saved us in vital parts of the game though mate so fair play to him.

Ruud van Nistelrooy, Thierry Henry, Michael Owen, Robbie Fowler, Andy Cole, Tore Andre Flo, Hernan Crespo and Carlos Tevez simply wouldn't have passed up the opportunity.
I like Aguero but the coaching staff should have him in for a couple of hours each week to work on his finishing.
You're absolutely right. You wouldn't believe how many dickheads have taken my bait.

Navas had a shocker and our defending should have been punished more as it was very poor at times. Sanga Kompany Demichelis Clichy and Fernando all had poor games. Some of them looked pissed up at times.
And even though I think all that, we won 4-1!
Bizarre game.
Hart Milner and Agüero were phenomenal though!
Navas had a shocker lol
Few frustrating moments but shocking no way, stick to giving history lessons

Nothing like the murderous assault by Navas when he clipped that spurs player and quite rightly got a yellow, for his first and only foul.Bluep*ss said:Totally agree BlueA -BlueAnorak said:bucks said:How the fuck David Silva walked off the pitch with both his ankles and achilles intact I'll never know. The fucking ref could have sent any one of three of their players off for their planned assaults on him. I seriously worry how long his ankles can stand up to this game after game. Good job he's a tough little fucker. I reckon Pellers should start doing a Fergie and highlighting this all the time. See if it makes a difference.
This. It was open season on Silva yesterday. Spurs got away with attempted murder yesterday. 3 dreadfull challenges. 2 where not even a yellow card was shown - should have been at least 1 straight red for the lunge down the great mans achilles.
I saw Spanish Dave get his achilles trampled on yesterday by some oaf in a Spurs shirt - in front of CB stand near the tunnel - ref and lino missed it .
He takes a lot of kicking does our Dave. I will forgive him an off day yesterday.
Re: Sv: Spurs post match
Agree no question we are going to be exposed if the 2 ferns play together to many times it not to early to say, it go to be one or the other for me.
Interesting how everyone gets hysterical about Toure but when he does not play we don't look secure to me.
