I am a little worried about our 'presence' in midfield. I just watched the Bolton v scum game it really hit home how weak we are in midfield compared to 'bruisers' like Bolton.
Even though we are full of class and skill, we do lack that bite!
Zokora does provide some steel in midfield but his distribution is dire and i dont want to open a Zokora discussion as it has been done-to-death on this forum.
So to my point.
Who do we have to 'get stuck in? In the past we have had the services of solid men who got 'stuck in', In my time I can think of Perryman, Roberts, Ruddock, Mabbut, Yorath, Freund (yes i know), Tarrico (yes, i know - again). The famous Mackay, Blanchflower are only players I seen on VID/DVD.
So where is Spurs' enforcer?
The best we have at the moment IMO is O'Hara - for me, he is a very decent player. He is not a 'classy player' but i for one, like him. One that at this moment if we are to play the 'lightweights' of Modric, Gio and Lennon, well then we need an O'Hara type to tidy-up and distribute, get forward and tap in the odd goal or three.
What say you? You doyens of Spurs Community - and others!
