congratulation to all Spurs supporters for reaching final !

- Cerny 7.5 - look good in commanding his area and decent saves.

- Dawson 8 - good game and involved in our 2nd goal.

- Keane 9.5 - The legend is legend, thanks for your a great work as always plus your 101 th goal.
- Bendtner 10 - ccored vital and a great goal. No chance Fabianiski !
- Subs - Huddlestone and Defoe 7 for their app. and Boateng deserve 7.5 for good work in latter stages of the game.
- Ramos 10 - I'm happy to see Tainio involved, good team selection and subs which made it 5-1, you're World Class Juande !
Team 10 - recent personnel rating to give all fair praise for what they did, but I would give all 10+ to 20 for their excellent effort and a great result against Arsenal. Almost Cleen sheet but i can see us imporved in set pieces despite I was afraid at all. After long waiting to beat Chelsea for many years, Home game on WHL in 2nd leg in league cup ended with clear win 5-1 under Glenn Hoddle era, now it's nice to Arsenal followed Chelsea with the same competition, place and result !

cheers !

What a superbly stupendous performance!!!!!

Cerny - 6. Nothing muych to do at all, so cant really give him a high rating.

King - 8. Nothing got past him.

Dawson - 7. Always looks comfortable when playing with the King.

Lee - 7. Consistent.

Chimbonda - 7.5. Very potent when on the attack and defended very well as well.

Tainio - 5. Where was he? At times in the match, I forgot he was playing.

Jenas - 8.5. Superb. Was everywhere, and what a goal! Brilliant performance by the lad. MOM by a mile.

Lennon - 8. Now he wont be doing his England chances any harm at all with this kind of performance. Superb goal and beautiful assist for KEane.

Steed - 7. Hardworking and capped off a fine display with the last goal.

Keane - 7.5. Hardworking throughout, and a typical Keano goal.

Berbatov - 6.5. A tad disappointing for his high standards, but still contributed well upfront.

Bollox mate, teemu was brilliant. Did his job harrased their midfield, put pressure on them and didnt give them anytime. His passing was neat and tidy also. Teemu hanging gave JJ the time to get forward and we all know what happened.
Why do you think fabregash had no influence on the game? Teeeemuuuuu

 

[CaptainCat]

Everyone was fantastic. I agree that Jenas was MOM.

 

[lilywhitecurtis]

Am i the only one who thinks Teemu should start over the hudd and boateng?

 

[Spurs_Q8]

Am i the only one who thinks Teemu should start over the hudd and boateng?

No, TT could develope into quality player at this stage of his career and he deserve a place at the club.

But i don't want him to be picked over Hudd and Boateng every time, it is depends on who is playing against us. Also, it is important to make the right rotation between them to keep all fighting and doing their best and that's why Tainio played very well recently and we may see more ahead of Hudd and Boateng in the future. Let alone we have Zokora and O'Hara here. In Ramos, we can trust.

 

[guiltyparty]

Unbeaten in 2 now against Arsenal. Oooooooohh, who has the hoodoo now...

:rofl:

 

[t79boy]

What a superbly stupendous performance!!!!!

Cerny - 7. Nothing muych to do at all, so cant really give him a high rating. Instilled more confidence than robinson

King - 8. Nothing got past him.Apart from the dummy that adebayor sold him ....but agree with 8

Dawson - 8. Always looks comfortable when playing with the King. Agreed raises his game when playing along side the King

Lee - 8. Consistent. Again under-rated, did nothing wrong and is always willing to overlap on the LW

Chimbonda - 7. Very potent when on the attack and defended very well as well. Bit of a strange game from his standards going forward and defending did neither well IMO

Tainio - 8. Where was he? At times in the match, I forgot he was playing. What game were you watching....superb performance by Tainio...will make Ramos think again when Zakora is back !

Jenas - 9. Superb. Was everywhere, and what a goal! Brilliant performance by the lad. MOM by a mile. Superb first half was involved with everything, where have you been when we were crying out for someone to take our free kicks

Lennon - 8. Now he wont be doing his England chances any harm at all with this kind of performance. Superb goal and beautiful assist for KEane.Agreed

Steed - 7. Hardworking and capped off a fine display with the last goal.Agreed

Keane - 8. Hardworking throughout, and a typical Keano goal.

Berbatov - 7. A tad disappointing for his high standards, but still contributed well upfront. Typical off-day berbatov performance, which still merits a 7 !

Funny even when the team won 5-1 people still looking at the team with their own misconceptions....

 

[llamafarmer]

Great performance all round - they worked their socks off all night. I was worried early on that we couldn't keep up the relentless chasing and harrying, but the lads just never stopped!

Dawson is a different player with Ledley back, he's suddenly that big, no nonsense stopper we loved so much again.

And Ledley - need I say anything at all? Oh how we've missed you big fella!

MOTM - Jenas, just about.

My only criticisms are Lee's silly little dive towards the end trying to get Adebayor sent off - leave that to the scum please Leapy, that's why they're called the scum! And more reckless slide tackling from Steed. That's it though!

Ramos again looked to have the measure of the ugly frenchman and good lordy has he got our squad fit!

Last word for Howard Webb, who had a great game. Well done sir :clap:

 

[TheBlueRooster]

Very, very rarely do these, but it's a special occasion (the first of many, one hopes), so:

Cerny 7 (Did everything that might reasonably be expected of a keeper well, no chance with their goal)

Chimbo: 7.5 (Best performance for some time, would have been 8 but for two reckless challenges)

Dawson: 8.5 (But why can't you play like this without Ledders to hold your hand?)

King: 9 (Showed just why we've missed him)

Leapy: 8 (Hard to fault in any serious way)

Tainio: 9 (Given the chance to impress, took it with both hands)

JJ: 9 (MOTM. Just do this every game.)

Lennon: 8.5 (Constant threat, hard-working)

Steed: 8 (Beavered away, indefatigable, marked down a little for recklessness)

Keane: 9 (Top dollar)

Berbatov: 8 (Hard to nail down, WTF? moments and then pure quality.)

Subs:

JD: 7.5

Bong: 7.5

Hudd: 8

Ramos: 10. Perfect preparation, got Plan A spot on, subs spot on.

This about sums it up! Tainio really impressed me last night, I've not been his greatest fan but he does add that bit of steel that we were missing.

Hats off to JJ for saying it was all the hard training that helped get them through it. They looked as if they could have gone another 90 minutes.

 

[Michey]

Cerny - 7.5, Solid and calm

Chimbonda - 7

Dawson - 7.5 Best game so far this season

King - 8, a fuckin rock!

Lee - 7, best game of the season

Lennon - 7.5

Jenas - 7.5 Why not more often, if so he would be class

Tainio - 7.5

Steed - 7.5

Keane - 8

Berbatov - 7, loved it when he made Gallas look like the idiot he is!

Subs:

Defoe - 6.5, would have been 7 if he didn't miss an open goal

KPB - 6.5

Hudd - 6 - not much to do

Ramos - 10 - Mr.Cool when he took off Berbs and Keano at the same time.

 

[yiddobrett]

They all deserve 10's after that performance.

 

[Ryana]

Everybody deserves a 10 for the joy they brought us yesterday but rationally...

Cerny 8: confident, good game, works along well with the defenders

Cimbonda - 7: nothing special just did what he should do...

King -With Ledley on the pitch we look a really different team...

Daws - 7,5- shame he couldn't score that goal but was there and made the defender head home

Lee - 6,5 - good

Steed - 8 - i had a feeling he will score, played well, was agressive enough

Jenas - 9 MOM? Although sometimes disappeared sometimes

Tanio - 8 - great game

Lennon - 7,5 : best performance for a while, constant threat...

Keane - 9- enthusiastic, full heart game, dorky dance in the end..

Berbatov - 7: was useful but can play better

Subs. didn't do to much(IMO), but i'm a bit annoyed by Boateng: okay at 4-1 you can make tricks but sometimes it was really unnecesary+ late tackles, and moaning..

 

[Fatcat]

All 10's Tainio was superb, as good as Jenas but without the goals. I can't remember a better performqace in midfield for a long time. Tackling passing tracking Fcuking Brilliant.

 

[idlepete]

Cerny - 7. Comfortable.
Chimbo - 7 Only scraped it though. Alarmingly casual at times and the only player I shouted at all night.
Lee - 8 Solid as ever.
Daws - 8 A rock.
King - 7 Still needs match sharpness. Good enough.
Steed - 8
JJ - 8
Tainio - 8
Lennon - 9 The midfield as a whole were a revelation, all tracking back and fighting, all keeping the ball, making the right decisions, working their arses off all game. But in the 2nd half when space opened up for Lennon he came into his own and was instrumental in putting the scum to the sword. My MOM.
Keano - 8 100% committed to the cause. Applied the finishing touch to an exquisite goal.
Berbs - 8 Quiet? By his standards, maybe. Quietly magnificent, I thought.

 

[Yidiot]

Tainio - 5. Where was he? At times in the match, I forgot he was playing.

there's a reason fabregash was passing so badly. it's cos teemu was all up in his face and that.

 

[The Apprentice]

I only like giving ratings when I can slate the team.

So, for that reason, I am declining to comment on this game.

 

[Leigh]

What a superbly stupendous Tainio - 5. Where was he? At times in the match, I forgot he was playing.

Right, SLOWLY move away from the crack pipe.

 

[Archibald&Crooks]

Spot on. Don't know how anybody can fault anyone tonight. I was there and honestly it was a brilliant performance by absolutely everybody.

Everyone gets 10.

Apart from me who gets 11 because I was even better.

To be fair, you deserve a 12 simply because of the hat you wore.....

 

[Peters]

Cerny - 7. Comfortable.
Chimbo - 7 Only scraped it though. Alarmingly casual at times and the only player I shouted at all night.
Lee - 8 Solid as ever.
Daws - 8 A rock.
King - 7 Still needs match sharpness. Good enough.
Steed - 8
JJ - 8
Tainio - 8
Lennon - 9 The midfield as a whole were a revelation, all tracking back and fighting, all keeping the ball, making the right decisions, working their arses off all game. But in the 2nd half when space opened up for Lennon he came into his own and was instrumental in putting the scum to the sword. My MOM.

Keano - 8 100% committed to the cause. Applied the finishing touch to an exquisite goal.
Berbs - 8 Quiet? By his standards, maybe. Quietly magnificent, I thought.

Individually and collectively the midfield 4 were all excellent. They really did make the difference. Its splitting hairs to pick a MOM but if pushed Jenas would get my vote.

I thought Chimbo played one of his more focussed games.

There's only one KEANO!

Anyone know who was the official Man of The Match?
