A familiar but lousy feeling is coming again. Being among one of the big spenders don't prove anything. No team had the given right to feel that they will win even before they take to the pitch. So what if our strike force is worth more than 60 million? With no decent midfielders to supply the chances for them, what's the hope of anyone of them actually scoring? I had also been supportive of Martin Jol but can't help but wonder if he had set his priorities right when looking for new signing.
Kenneth might be laughing when he read this but I got to agreed with him. Jenas seem like a lost fish everytime he take to the field. A player who had promised so much but just unable to deliver it week in and out. He can no longer use his age and inexperience as an excuse. He got to stand up and be counted. Make those lung breaking runs that he is noted for. Pass the ball better.
To be honest, Spurs had never really been able to cover up the loss of Micheal Carrick. Zokora came with a big reputation after a great showing at World Cup 2006. If he is still showing the same standard in his second season, maybe it is time to promote Huddlestone to the frame. He can pass better than either of those two idiots that I had mention. It is not the age that should be a deciding factor when choosing your best 11. It is the ability.
Gardner and Rocha to me is a big big joke. Can you imagine Chelsea or Man U having them as their backup centre defenders? They belong to the same "elite" group of defenders who look impressive but simply unable to defend well. Bramble and Boumsong would make a great pair with these two idiots. At least Sam Allardyce had a sane mind to get rid of Bramble.
This is also not the first time I am complaining about Salteri but he simply don't have the positional sense as a fullback. He can't attack or defend well. I would rather putting young Ifil in for him. Sell that joker away. 3 seasons and he is like getting worse by the day.
I had always thought that this would be a breakthrough season for us. Though I had always been crying out for a decent left midfielder and a world class playmaker, I still have high hopes that the current squad is good enough to push those United Nation bastards for fourth spot. If Spurs is going to continue playing at this rate, I think it would be lucky if we can hold on to 5th spot.
Newcastle is going to be good this season. They had finally gotten a manager who had proven himself in the Premier League and if backed sufficiently by the new board, would be a force to be reckon with. Blackburn had also done well and Everton is waiting in the wings. To lose to a side expected to compete with you for the coveted fourth spot is like losing 6 points.
I am depressed. Not just by the fact that my stupid cough seems like never ending. But also of the fact that my favourite team is again playing with no imagination and passion. They must realize that it is a god given privilege to be able to play soccer well and wear the famous white jersey across them. This is no ordinary work. They are living the dreams of million of Spurs fan out there. I am sure that all of them are feeling as disappointed and disgusted as I am. I still have the belief that they will do well. I had the same belief ever since 1990 when I saw Gazza and Lineker wearing the Spurs jersey. Come on you SPURS!!!!!
You can take a picture of something you see. In the future where will I be?
