Hutton was easily MOTM for me today, although that isn't too difficult considering the rest of the team played like blind mice for the second half :-|

 

[haxman]

No option for no man of the match?

 

[nidge]

No option for no man of the match?

No but, Nicky Butt should be an option. :lol: :bang:

 

[yusrisafri]

Robinson - at fault for 2nd goal. Couldnt even sort the wall out properly. Even the commentator as puzzled as to how the freekick couldve gone in so easily. 4

Ohara - just doesnt cut it as a top team player.4

Hutton - did ok but lacked support due to the lack of width in todays formation. 6

Woodgate - Poor. His poor clearance led to the 1st goal, and looked at sea for most fo the game. 4

Dawson - Same as Woodie. 4

Hud - Where the hell was he? Just when u thought he had it in him to control games and boss the midfield, he goes out and perform like this. Poor perofrmance. 4

Zokora - Sloppy.4

Steed - Looked so ordinary and lacked self belief. 5

Bent - Besides the goal, was non-existent. 6

Berbatov - Looked really really bored with the lack of service. Didnt try hard enough as well. 4

Keane - Tried hard as usual but couldnt do much. 5

Juande -4. Has to be blamed for the wrong strategy today. We lacked width, and whenever Hutton did overlap to provide width, it left gaps at the back. The midfield 3 were also lost today, not really knowing what to do or where to be, especially Huddlestone, who looked like a little lost boy.

Spot on mostly.

Hello

Robinson 0 - yeah one good save from Viduka and in corner, but his overall perofrmance was poor. costs us the game. Even when he did a save in 1st half, it was very near to him and he against decided to push it but the defence cleared it

Hutton 0 - first awful game.

Woodgate 1 - his first poor performance, can't blame him because the whole Def. and Mid. was crap.

Dawson -10 - poor as always.

O'Hara 4 - ok

Zokora 1 - poor.

Huddlestone -10 - hit the wall enough, slow and over-rated. Don't want him to shoot direct free kicks again until selling him in summer.

Malbranque 0 - nothing to say.

Berbatov 6 - ok, feel sorry for him
Keane 6 - ok, feel sorry for him
Bent 6 - ok, feel sorry for him

Taraabt -10 - lost possession 10000 times. Team is 11 players not one. OK? can't blame Ramos not using you if he did again.

Lennon 4 - was poor but nothing to do.

Tainio n/a

Ramos 5 - could be wrong to make the same starting tactic against Birmingham at the lane, but i can't fault him more than the players. they were very very very very poor at all and no excuses for it !

 

[USA_SPURS]

No one rating Ramos today ?

or hmm, Hughton - for that matter ? ;-)

 

[Pedro]

Game of two halves. We we shit in the second half except hutton. But in the first half Zokora and dawson played really well, particularly impressed with zoko considering he had to do the work of two players in the middle. Dawson was impressive too - but not as good as the commentator on truesports made out - was he daws dad?? Both were crap in the second half though.

Woody had his worst game in a spurs shirt, made more errors in this game than all his games added together, Steed still not good enough, no return of form. Berba was non-existant. Bent started well, but was awefull in the second half.

I dont like us starting with 3 up front, if we fall behind we cant use that tactic to change the game. No width today, if lennon isnt in the team we look really poor, dispite him being off form for a very long time now. More wingers in the summer please.

 

[Pedro]

No one rating Ramos today ?

or hmm, Hughton - for that matter ? ;-)

didnt realise hughton went to newcastle, was shocked to see him on the toon bench!

 

[Bobbins]

I love you Spurs Q8 :rofl:

 

[Marty]

Robbo - 5 - at fault for 1-2, a couple of good saves otherwise.

Hutton - 6 - good. Only performer in the second half.

Dawson - 5 - good first half, poor second half

Woodgate - 4 - his first really poor performance. Two huge mistakes in the first half, the latter leading to the goal. Never recovered.

O'Hara - 4 - poor. Beaten very often.

Zokora - 5 - same as Dawson.

Huddlestone - 4 - not good enough throughout.

Malbranque - 6 - ran his socks off as always, tried.

Bent - 6.5 - half mark up for the goal. Did his best but got no service in second half.

Berba - 5 - wasn't comfortable wit his role, blame Ramos for that.

Keane - 5 - correct substitution, nowhere near his best.

--------------------------------------------------------

Taarabt - 5 - lively, but gave them the ball needlessly for the fourth goal and still isn't a team player.

Lennon - 4 - nowhere to be seen

Tainio - n/a

--------------------------------------------

Ramos - 4 - wrong tactics. Simple as that. After the fairly solid performance v Pompey we shouldn't have chopped and changed for this one.

 

[Spurs_Q8]

I love you Spurs Q8 :rofl:

you're laughing at me, you are every right to do this after what i wrote when i was angry,

but as Spurs fan, it is not easy to take this defeat at home, specially against a team beat us last three times. And already we lost 1-4 against a team like Birmingham with big respect to them.

I know every team have bad day, and this football, there are always mistakes and it's normal, but some of these players are doing the same mistakes.

- Robinson, poor positioning and he is 28 now, two good saves but in 1st half failed to held a ball and push it upfront the goal although it was not too hard.

- Dawson and Huddlestone, I have enough

I'm still sad and angry, i really feel sorry for the fans.

best regards.

 

[Bobbins]

Dude I'm honestly not laughing at you, you just... well, make me laugh sometimes. It's nothing offensive against you I promise.

Hutton 6- One of the better peformers
Woodgate - Some silly erros but OK
Dawson 6- OK
O'Hara 4- Not a left back and looks lost there

Zokora 4- Off the pace
Steed 5- Did OK but didn't give us anything going forward and faded.
Keane 4- Anonymous
Berbatov 4 -Same as Keane
Bent 5- Took his goal well, worked hard but struggled to make an impact.

lool never mind mate, i respect all people here :wink:

- - - - - - - - - -

[Crow]

Nice homecoming for Hughton, must have felt like he never left.

 

[talkshowhost86]

I don't normally give ratings but am genuniely angry so thought I'd use this thread to hurl abuse at the useless plebs.

Robbo - 4 - Too easily beaten for Butt's goal and just amateurish for the free kick. Needs to go as soon as possible.

Hutton - 7 - Our best player by far. Looks like he'll be a massively important player for us.

Woodgate - 4 - Poor today. Been magnificent this season but had a disaster today.

Dawson - 4 - Perhaps marginally better than Woody today but still doesn't look comfortable at the top level.

O'Hara - 4 - Looked out of his depth today. Too slow to play full back and didn't offer much going forwards.

Malbranque - 5 - Good in the first half and did well for the goal. Woeful in the second half for some reasosn.

Hudd - 4 - Was he on the pitch? Looked massively out of place on the right of midfield...strange decision from Ramos.

Zokora - 3.5 - Awful. Can't pass, can't tackle very well and doesn't even make his 'driving' runs forward anymore. Needs to be dropped sharpish.

Bent - 5 - Did well for the goal and chased well. As ever he's very dependent on the midfield and as they were awful today he didn't get much joy.

Keane - 5 - Looked the most dangerous of our front players but in all fairness that wasn't hard. Shouldn't have been taken off.

Berba - 3.5 - I love him but he was pathetic today.

Subs:

Taarabt - 4.5 - Give him credit for trying to up the tempo and for a few good passes but ultimately he still doesn't have the footballing brain for the premiership yet. Comical for their 4th goal.

Lennon - 4 - Did nothing. Given little of the ball and never looked like creating anything.

Tainio - 5 - Roasted for the goal but shouldn't have been allowed to be there on his own anyway. Didn't do too much else wrong or right.


Ramos - 4 - Not sure why we suddenly changed our formation today and some very dubious substitutions left us with lennon, huddlestone and taarabt out of position. Probably his worst managerial performance since arriving unfortunately.

 

[themanwhofellasleep]

Robinson 4 - Looked dodgy. A couple of ok saves.
Hutton 6 - Good.
Woodgate 3 - Bad game.
Dawson 4.5 - So so.
O'Hara 4 - Looked out of his depth.
Huddlestone 4 - Nowhere to be seen.
Zokora 4- Anonymous
Steed 4.5 - Not very good. Tried hard but created little.
Keane 5.5 - Ran his socks off but got little service.
Berbatov 3 - For long periods of the game I forgot he was on the pitch.
Bent 5.5 - Nice goal but otherwise anonymous.

Juande: 3 - The team looked unready, both mentally and tactically. He will learn. So will the players - those that will be here next season.

 

[spurdownunder]

Was hoping Dawson would dominate today to ensure we get good value out of him when we sell to those toon cocks, but no.
