Everyone is talking about bale's worth, and rightly so. But I wonder about Jenas is worth now, much abused regularly by roughly 50% of spurs fans, but again in the champions league, like he was against Werder he was quite superb. Ok not so much in the 1st but in the 2nd he was a beast.
If he continues his performances in the champions league i wouldn't be surprised to see him get on the short list for uefa champions league team of the year (doubt he'll get in the team)

wouldn't surprise me if there were a few looking at him in Janurary across europe now, easier to pry away than Bale

let the jenas hate commence! :)

Not going to Jenas hate, but our central midfield was not great yesterday at all. Huddlestone was bad, Jenas not much better.

I honestly think you must have been watching another match.

2m for me.

The guy winds me up so much! I posted this in another thread:

Jenas is a fucking liability in the middle of the park. At times he can be the most committed player on the park and at others he looks like he just doesnt give a shit. He tracks back only when he feels like it! The first goal was entirely his fault. He just completely gave up on going with the runner when it was blatntly obvious he was running into the space left by Hutton. Poor poor poor CM play.

Harsh I know.. lets make it 5m.

I thought he had a good spell / quarter of the game, but I would like to see that in a match where we are not 4 goals down with the other team playing in second gear.

I saw a glimpse of promise, but nothing to warrent the superlatives being afforded right now.

Aye he got us off to a perfect start by gifting them a goal inside the first two minutes not what you want away to Inter Milan.

But he did play better in the second half and infact far better than Huddlestone, but maybe if Jenas could do something as basic as track his man we might not have been on the back foot before the game had even got going.

Whatever Gerrard has that makes him the dynamic commanding player he is...Jenas doesn't have

I'm amazed that either of our central midfieders would get any praise after last nights performance. I rate Huddlestone highly, but last night he was poor.

I thought, Bale apart, he was our best player last night. And has been performing well very well since coming back into the team.

I reckon he's worth about 8 million on last nights second half showing.
Yes, they took their foot off the pedal but they still had an extra man and sure as **** didn't want us to score three times; and JJ was very involved in the 'comeback'.

He was good yesterday. Don't be so unappreciative.

He also busted a gut to keep up with play for the first goal. Just the kind of supporting run from midfield people on here cry out for.

But Gareth decided he would rather punt it into the far corner. Selfish bastard :grin:

But hey, this is what forums are for. He has had better games but posts like the 2 pence pic just wind me up. Prob cos I picture the unsupportive abusive arse head in the crowd I wish would shut up
