if we play Huddlestone and Carrick in our midfield next season i reckon we can control a lot of games
Is Cerny a class keeper or what? I'll feel sorry for him when Robbo is fit, he could easily hold a decent starting place in the Premiership with the ability he has shown so far. It's a good bit of competition. A good win today, some lovely bits of football. Shame about the last 10 minutes being a bit sloppy, but it's to be expected in a preseason game in hot weather. If we beat Sociedad we are in the final, if we draw then it will go to goal difference if Boca beat Sundowns.
The South Africans are use to the hot weather, that may have played apart in the final stages of the game, that and the subs which came on looked useful. A few days ago Robbo said he may have been a bit optimistic about making the first game of the season so Cerny will start the season if Robbo is not fit.
haha yeah tottenham is pretty good! im watching a re-run.. if you didnt catch the game, you can follow the instructions and watch the taped match again
That Zidane-style swivel pass at the end by Ham Sandwich was brilliant: http://www.stealthsystems.de/temp/hamflick.mpg A shame for him he's 5th choice striker, would love to see him play more. Looks to have the physical size to go with the skill.
Yeah that was a great piece of skill. Shame for him about being 5th choice, good for us though He does look abit like Mido, especially in this pic.
LOL, the commentators was saying Mido even when the caption of his name came up and when they had a back shot with his name on the back of his shirt.
I couldn't watch the game Did Lennon play on the left wing, or was that Routledge? Whoever played there, were they better that Reid? Can someone write down the team and the positions for me including the subs. Best Regards Posh
Sound's like Routledge stayed on the right and Lennon replaced the Reid. from the reports on the official site it looks like Routledge had a stormer. Hmmmm seem's like I will be eating my words from when I first started posting. How was Tainio, is he making the best claim so far of playing with Carrick in the middle? or would Huddlestone's performance put him into the reckoning?
If you had seen Routledge play today you would be eating those words in a big way. Wonderful player, a lot of pace and skilll - and best of all he's been showing the final ball to go with it. I did not expect him to play so well, certainly not for a while.
When Lennon came on he went to the right wing, Routledge went to the left. I think if we dont bring anyone else in the centre midfielders to start the season would be Tainio and Carrick.
Thanks for the video of the goals and that cheeky backheel -- I especially liked Kanoutes two touch rebound shot, handled so calmly and yet quickly. I like the range of talent and style we are seeing in this tournament; seems to suit Spurs preseason targets and might spark some more creativity, wish I could catch the Sociodad game...
If we beat Real Sociedad we go throw to final i'd like to see Defoe, Mido again and Lennon, Routlege and Huddlestone starting
That is our tour sponsor, i'm not sure what Thomson have to say about not having their logo across the shirt.
...maybe Thomson didn't pay for the airfair and so Levy ditched them for Standard Chartered. I am off on Thursday (from Tony Robbins that is). Going to watch the game live at 1300 hours.
All our strikers look good including El Hamdaoui. I hope the front pairing for the season is Defoe - Mido. Also, Cerny looks class. It's a shame he'll prolly move on in January. I remember the days when we had Ian "fvcking" Walker as our first choice. *shudders*
You really think he'll stay as a no. 2 (no pun intended) ? If he does then that's great. I have doubts though. He's bound to have offers.
