If we manage to get a few first team defenders back in time I believe we could take Arsenal in the League Cup.
Too fuckin' right! We'll have them rattled on today's performance. They expected a walkover victory, and it certainly wasn't that. Yes we lost, but it was very, very close. This was their first team vs a depleted Spurs team. They League Cup games should be a weakened Arsenal team vs a full strength (with new signings, fingers crossed) Spurs team.
Audere-Est-Facere.
Today in 3 words: Heartened, proud......heartbroken
Know how you feel buddy :-( Future looks very bright to me though :up:
a miss from 3 yards out and a 'gimmie' penalty, truely a shocking game from keane, doind nothing for 89 mins and when you get something gift rapped (2 occasions) he goes and misses
really didnt deserve the start robbie but he got it and let us down
could have won that game had he not played oh well he'll still bea hero to the dummie spurs fans somehow
Look buddy, I'm an ex-Keane slater. I used to question his inclusions and performances, but since the Fulham away game last year (FA Cup) we've seen a Robbie Keane who does deserve to start. Today wasn't his best game, but he wasn't as bad as people make ourt.
In the first half, he won so many flick ons. I was sure it was Berba until I realised it was Dimi' racing onto them. He held up the ball very well, and I thought both him and Berba had very good first halves.
In the 2nd half, he wasn't great, and did miss 2 good chances. The first he should have scored, but so what? Do top players miss chances, too? Yes they fucking do. Robbie missed it. It happens. The penalty miss - do the best penalty takers miss penalties? Yes they do! Matt Le Tissier missed 1 in his career if I remember correctly. Shearer missed a fair number of them. Sheringham missed them (Man Utd debut V us). IT HAPPENS! Don't be such a short signed pleb and claim he's shite. His goal contribution for us is top notch (2 away from his century).
Try understanding football before spouting such shit.
Keane takes the penalties because he's scored like 10 in a row.
Amen buddy :beer:His only other miss for us was V Sunderland. He was the best player to take the kick. He missed. Maybe Berba would have scored, maybe not. I would have still picked Keane to take it, and I would do again if given the chance.
When are people going to realise that nether Defoe or Keane are going to take us to the next level. Keane was a sub at a top 4 team 6 years ago and Defoe is just not good enough.
Both are one dimensional players.
*deletes personal attack*
I think to say that because a young Robbie Keane wasn't first choice at Leeds he's not good enough for where we want to be is moronic. When he first joined us, he wasn't half the player he is now IMO. He's improved so much, turning his potential into real class. He wasn't first choice at a CL club when he wasn't great... well he much have done something right, because after 6 months of having him on loan, they were prepared to pay £13m for him.
