When he went off i said he had a broken nose, thats bad news, at least he wont miss the start of the season but it will give Huddlestone a couple of weeks to stake his claim to partner Ledley.
I wont sit here and type out everything. I watch the game with Tony (ManicSpur) and we both wrote the article on the game analysis.. http://tottenhamhotspur.blogspot.com/2005/07/spurs-vs-boca-analysis.html I will add that if any of you expect Reid to ever be a winger, think again. View him as a not-so-good (yet) Beckhamesque player that is on the left.
Reidy was poor for most of the game, and Keane is a miserable b'stard IMO. I would like to see El Hamdoui (sp) getting a game on the left wing, seems to have genuine pace. Thought MIdo and Defoe played pretty well together. and the MF played ok, but at the times seemed off the pace, Teemu had a reasonable game. Not sure if Mendes really did himself justice other than the pass leading up to Mido's goal, but he was out for a long time, so I am sure MJ will be happy that he went through the game. I am really looking forward to seeing more of young Wayne, he looked quick I suppose Boca should be further ahead with fitness etc, as their season has just ended, and the new season starts a week before our's. Anyways can't complain with a draw. COYS!!
Mendes and Tainio swapped positions, i think it was midway through the first half Mendes went out wide. Routledge showed us he has got quick feet, i think he will start the next game against Sundowns so we will get to see him from the start. The commentators on British Eurosport were so anoying even though one of them was Paul Walsh.
I was thinking that, his nose did look a bit strange when walking off the pitch, hopefully for a full recovery quickly
Poor old Dawson. At least he wasn't a looker before the break. I hope Ziegler starts on the left over Reid this season. I did like to see us spreading the ball out wide so often. God, it's been a while since we had genuine talent out wide.
I know the Mido one is here: http://egyptianplayers.com/multimedia/Mido-BocaJuniors1.mpg not sure about Defoe's.
