    *** OMT Tottenham Hotspur v Cardiff City, Sunday 22nd September***

    Cardiff were very tough and had a few great chances themselves (thanks to our defensive ****ups), but I don't think we were lucky at all - I think they were saved by their brilliant keeper and we could well have had more on another day, even if we didn't pulverize them all game. The stats don't...

    I liked Erik Lamela before it was cool

    Re: Erik Lamela - Official By picked apart, I mean over-analyzed - both in a positive and negative way. There's simply no reason to obsess over his every touch/pass/what have you, he will never be the type to drop in with a bang - just look at his pre-season, he was miserable there and looked...

    I liked Erik Lamela before it was cool

    Re: Erik Lamela - Official He actually had 3 key passes in the game, tied for the best with Holtby I think. Man if it's like this already, I fear for us after he actually starts playing premier league games :lol: Was Modric ever picked apart like this, or did the whole '2 points 8 games'...

    I liked Erik Lamela before it was cool

    Re: Erik Lamela - Official Interestingly enough, I thought Roma fans said defense was a relatively weak part of his game? But Argentinian fans were saying the opposite, so I have no idea - it may just be Roma's coach, because I have heard that he specifically sets up his system to free up the...

    Official - Holtby

    Re: *Official* Holtby I think he's not fully fit and more significantly, would actually look better if he didn't cover so much ground and charge around so much. He exhausts himself running and biting at heels so much - and while that mobility and dynamism is great, that leaves less in the...

    I liked Erik Lamela before it was cool

    Re: Erik Lamela - Official Isn't Eriksen usually pretty meh for Denmark though? He strikes me as someone who needs intelligent, technical players around him to flourish (along with protection at the back), or otherwise his passes are all going to be either really conservative or look like...

    In fairness, we think we're too good for this competition, while Swansea are delighted to be in it. :(

    I liked Erik Lamela before it was cool

    Re: Erik Lamela - Official Isn't Lamela quite well known to have a delicate constitution? Like, he works hard, has a great team ethic but can be a little fragile mentally. Let him settle in to a NEW COUNTRY for chrissakes, he probably still has no idea what's going on since he thought he'd be...

    Paulinho

    Re: Paulinho *OFFICIAL* He has wicked skills on the ball! Love those little glimpses, esp since he doesn't usually get considered a samba player :) Personally I think Paulie actually tends to have some really good ideas in the final third (started out a bit selfish/overeager with his shooting...

    The "Official" 2013/14 Other teams matches thread

    Yeah I've been kneejerk championing his signing ever since he came on against Liverpool. From first glance he's a very clever player and a sharp passer, I'd be happy to find room for him in our squad :lol:

    Makes our performance against them (well, at least for sixty minutes) look pretty decent now. I rewatched the first half and we created a number of good opportunities, just the final ball wasn't quite there.

    Andre Villas-Boas - Head Coach

    Re: AVB - Making Tottenham His Own I actually Benny's issue is the injury that prevented him from passing a medical at some team in France this summer. Same goes for Hudd - long term injury. While his lethargic personality obviously doesn't help, we also can't afford fullbacks who aren't at...

    Andros Townsend

    I think Townsend has more potential than Hudd or O'Hara, who seem to be dodged by injuries and a lack of aggression/focus as much as anything else. You could argue his directness, flashy dribbling, and sheer enthusiasm are carrying him more than actual technique or vision, but I think that's...

    The Goon Thread

    They are really reaping the benefits of a settled squad that is very familiar with their style of play; Ozil fits them like a glove too. Regardless of talent, just about everyone else this season except maybe Liverpool has to contend with new managers or styles or a ton of new players (us). I...

    The "Official" 2013/14 Other teams matches thread

    I agree. I think you can clearly see that with Lukaku already - I don't doubt they would've wanted him to stay pretty badly, but he was determined to go out on loan again for game time. Even Marin is determined not to return to Chelsea, while Mourinho's handling of Mata doesn't bode well for...

    The "Official" 2013/14 Other teams matches thread

    It's beautiful. I would never rule out Chelsea though, they are just crammed with too much natural talent to do poorly for long. The likes of Oscar, Hazard, Van Ginkel, Schurrle, KdB, Kalas, McEachran etc are all pretty young and new to this league too, though one could argue Mourinho won't be...

    Christian Eriksen

    I'm surprised btw at the constant comparisons to Ozil, when Eriksen seems more similar to Coutinho and Oscar in terms of age, build, status (Ozil is already well-established in the elite tier), and patient timing of passes. I'd prefer it if there were no comparisons at all - I'm just happy we...

    Andros Townsend

    In fairness I thought Bale displayed obvious class from his very first game, before his injuries and loss of confidence kicked in - not just pace but lovely technique and control, and I don't think Townsend has ever shown anything near his level yet. OTOH Townsend does have a better attitude and...

    *** OMT Tottenham Hotspur - Tromsø IL ***

    I just want Chiriches, Lamela, and Holtby to get some time and fitness, familiarity etc. in what should be a fairly easy, unaggressive game. I'd love our kids to play too but they're all out on loan.

    January transfer window wishlist

    Kneejerk but I really like Pozuelo. I sound like a broken drum but Barkley can be a little slow at releasing the ball, whereas Pozuelo looks like a real pass-and-move player - his movement against Liverpool was very clever and he plays the cutting pass quickly, which suggests vision. I have no...
