// OMT - Spurs vs Everton \\

[ess]

Is Adebayor the most overpaid footballer in the world?

 

[El Guepardo]

See, was that obstruction from us? When one of our players, didn't see which, held off the Everton player whilst our other player cleared up. The player blocking off the Everton player made no attempt to get to the ball.

Robinho at Emirates Marketing Project was on something ludicrous

Nice to see that we've taken control of possession and kept it... very few long balls

Taken the sting out of Everton being at home

Not a lot happening yet, but good signs that we haven't been hitting it long to bypass midfield and fight for scraps

Important that Sandro and Parker stay deep to allow Modric and Bale freedom to roam

Agreed, although second half we might want to advance Parker a bit...but yes, early doors it's decent enough without being eye candy...

 

[El Guepardo]

Get the feeling that there will be a red card at some point today.

Bale gets the ball and runs to the side and what defoe does?
instead of filling the empty area right next to Bale he runs towards the goal where the whole world can see there is not chance of anything happening in right in front of the goal with all defenders back

arab - he ran toward the centre of the goal to trick the defender, then darted back out to the near post area, leaving the defender behind

That is exactly what he should do when Bale has the ball

why would we need to advance Parker?

Wonder why Bale doesn't practice using his right peg?????

 

[El Guepardo]

Good cross by Bale with the outside of his boot but well defended against. Poor header but difficult to make anything good from the header.

Jelavic is brick. Saw him play two years at Rapid Vienna and he was nothing like one of the best forwards in the Austrian league. Feel pretty comfortable with him up front.

No idea, but he might need to if he wants to be able to roam the pitch.

Don't say that, we all know those words too often come back to haunt us. Save those words for after the game.

Scored some very good goals for Rangers - admittedly against weak opposition.

 

[Robbo]

Something isn't right - our passing is sloppy and the movement not very well. Lack of confidence?

Yeah fair point!

(although if we cant keep players like Jelavic out we shouldn't be playing champs leahue football to be far!!)

 

[thfcsteff]

Second-half, he could prompt and push a bit more, although TBF, he has not played as deep and flat (alongside Sandro, 5 feet apart) as sometimes happens when the two play together...

 

[Mumorn]

Modric is WELL off form

 

[Roy1983]

Lethargic start. Pick it up boys!!!

Come on you spurs!!

I'm sure there is a little bit...that game a couple of weeks ago or whenever the fudge it was remains a bewildering, and draining, experience...as I said somewhere earlier, we need a good, scrappy win to prove we can fight!!!
