*** UDINESE v SPURS *** Official Match Thread

[Tonio]

I think enough is enough now, Ramos needs to go lads, change it now or it'll be too too late, and to those who are saying noo comolli to go, well get rid of him too while were at it! Another player sent off! no discipline..no confidence..they have completely lost the plot, bentley not even in the line up, modric and gio on the bench? If we lose to bolton then he'll be sacked imho. Gomes is not looking the keeper i thought he was, bale awful, bent was non existent, lennon couldnt control a sneeze..were gonna get fucking slapped at the emirates and all this gloating about that 5-1 is gonna come and smack us right in the mooey.

Self destruction part two.
Several of the team are just niot worth their places in the team and there is nothing Ramos or any other manager could do about the way we are making comical mistakes.
Bent is a waste of space, he has done little or nothing since the season began. Frasier Campbell should play if Pavluochenko can't. Zokora was dreadful in midfield. O'Hara lost his head and was just plain stupid. Any player who gets himself booked twice in under a minute deserves to be left out of the team for quite a few games. Ekkoto is not good enough period. Bale had a really poor game and his free kicks were worse than anything Jenas does. Gomes is a combination of great shot stopper and terrible flapper.
What do I expect from other SC members, more rants against Jenas but he is the best we have got in midfield at present, at least he is trying.
Once again we looked promising, were starting to play quitye well and then we self destruct.

I agree with most of what you say
Jenas was our best player tonight.
As for Bent his helpless as he gets no support. His shot selection and first touch is a bit poor for him to play up on his own. Like tonight the header in the first half he could have brought that down.
I think both bent and campbell should play...

 

[PLTuck]

It seems to me that we are waaaay too direct. We seem to go from back to front in 2 or 3 passes all the time.

Tonight, especially 2nd half, reminded me of how bad PES / FIFA players play. Trying to dribble roung the whole opposition and score as soon as they get the ball.

We still, after nearly a full year, have no real pattern of play, and that is deeply concerning.

Lennon looked like he was catching a case of the Berbatov's 2nd half too.

All very, very worrying.

 

[SimpleSimonSays]

Can someone with real insight please tell me what the hell is wrong with us.
It's got that bad now, I don't no whether to blame Ramos, Levy or the players. Surely it's not Ramos' fault that O'Hara gets himself sent off or that Gomes tries to be too cute on the ball or is it? Surely he should have instilled discipline into the players.
I thought that tonight we lacked focus, discipline, tactics, belief, effort, commitment and thought. We don't have anyone who can read the game like Berba could. Bent, for all his effort just doesn't have it going on upstairs to be anything more than a Championship striker. Bale needs to be taken out of the game for a little while because we are going to destroy him as a player if we keep on throwing him in at the deep end. Ramos looks like he wants to fuck off soon as. He had the look of a condemned man. There is so much being written about us at the moment that I don't know what's fact or fiction any more.
Can Dan or someone with real knowledge please calm my fears and tell me what the fuck is going on at Spurs
HELP!!

we've got a bunch of girls out there, we have the likes of bentley, giovani and bale who are bothered about their hair more than anything.. we need someone like roy keane to kick the shit out of them!!

 

[Flatters]

We were fine tonight. Gomes lost his balance and we conceded via a penalty. Until then we were hammering them.

The referee kept stopping the game throughout the 90 minutes to give free kicks for nothing fouls.

Bent was unlucky not to score, though I think he should have done better with an effort in the first half.

Yet again, had any luck whatsoever been on our side rather than our opposition's, we probably would have won.

We'll beat Bolton on Sunday and that'll finally kick start our season. :up:

 

[Flatters]

So you don't think we should have kept him till a more important game like Bolton?

I don't know who will be available for the game against Bolton.

 

[..Tee..]

The soundtrack to that game should be that noise the German dive bombers made during WW2.

 

[nidge]

I don't know who will be available for the game against Bolton.

Well King won't play if recent history is anything to go by, Woodgate was brought off injured, Dawson is suspended, Huddlestone was injured for the game tonight and Corluka might play if he is cleared to after his head injury.

So that leaves us with very few centre backs to play on Sunday.

 

[spur_souljah]

we are not fine we are getting into the final third and aaron lennon treads on the ball or runs without it or as bale does try to cross it in and doesnt get past the first defender, the only decent cross we had all game was jenas to the back post but darren bent has forgotten how to use his feet and decided to header it!!

 

[Flatters]

That's if you just want to look at it in a pessimistic way. For all we know, they could all be available for Sunday's game apart from Dawson.

We'll beat <insert team here> on <insert day here> and that'll finally kick start our season. :up:

I'm sorry Flatters. You really need to get your head out of the sand.

It is starting to look like blind optimism.

Been hearing the bit in bold all season too. How long till you accept that Ramos, good a coach though he may be, isn't the man for us?

But if all the players you mention are out then it's Rocha and Zokora...

 

[nidge]

I am willing to bet that King will not play on Sunday. He physically isn't able to play two games in the space of 3 days.

Thats pretty much as i saw it to. Just a stop-start game with the Udinese playes falling over at the slightest touch.

 

[haxman]

Don't be so sure about that. Bolton are a tough physical side, the kind of team our lot usually have trouble with. And with Liverpool and Arsenal after that, :roll: I'm afraid it'll get worse before it gets better.

 

[PLTuck]

According to Ramos (some interview in the last week, cant remember who with) he needs 10 days recuperating after playing.

I love the guy but this situation can't go on.

No we had alot of possession, we weren't hammering them. We can't create fuck all. I can only remember 2 chances.

We won't beat bolton. Stop with this false optimism.

 

[Mullers]

We were in the game until the Gomez mistake. The service to Bent was terrible. We had very few goal scoring opportunities. The whole side has no confidence. Even though I think we have quality players its hard to see where a win is going to coming from.
