tajjuk Posted 24 October, 2012 Share Posted 24 October, 2012 Yes he can which is why he subbed Fox at half time against Villa and dropped him. The trouble is, we haven't faired much better since then. Well the rumour is that Fox isn't injured and he hasn't been near the first team for a while so we have no replacement left back and fox still can't get in the team!

Spudders Posted 24 October, 2012 Share Posted 24 October, 2012 Well then please can you ask around and confirm back exactly what the story was about Garath Bale that went out at around 12:15 today? It's not been mentioned since despite other stories being repeated, but there was a report at 12:15ish about him missing another game so he can spend more time with his partner and newly born child, hence me sharing it on here. It specifically referred to the game against Southampton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saint1977 Posted 25 October, 2012 Share Posted 25 October, 2012 Bale, Adebayor and Dembele rested to face us - oh crud! If we can lose by less than 2 goals that would not be too bad. Need to ditch all this 433 garbage and get 10 behind the ball, Chaplow in the middle with the skipper's armband and get in their faces. Hit Rickie as early as we can with Mayuka picking up on the second ball. If we try and out-football Spurs I can only conclude that a) our management team are clueless and b) we'll lose by far a margin of far more than 2 goals. Seriously, I grew up watching Lawrie's teams in the 80s and I'd love for us to play like that in the top flight but we have to face realities and stay in the league first.

Only Friedel, Gallas, and Dempsey (who later came on) didn't start the game against Chelsea! Adebayor not even on the bench today, but it seems from the papers that's more likely due to his sulky attitude than any injury!

CHAPEL END CHARLIE Posted 26 October, 2012 Share Posted 26 October, 2012 The beauty of this game is that almost anything can happen on a football pitch over 90 minutes. However using my head, rather than my heart, I can't see anything else but another defeat in all probability. This is one of those occasions when being proved wrong would be most welcome. If it's another drubbing - and it may well be - then it'll be interesting to see how St Marys responds to that. I get the feeling that a mood of underlaying discontent is building ......

tajjuk Posted 26 October, 2012 Share Posted 26 October, 2012 Spurs team that played last night: 25 Lloris 05 Vertonghen 16 Naughton Booked 28 Walker 33 Caulker 06 Huddlestone 07 Lennon 22 Sigurdsson (Dempsey - 75' ) 30 Sandro (Livermore - 84' ) 31 Townsend (Falque - 46' ) 18 Defoe 5 or 6 First teamers in there so that's good, not so good about Bale and Dembele though.

labibs Posted 26 October, 2012 Share Posted 26 October, 2012 Good post. I agree, interesting to see crowd reaction. Say we take the lead early in first half, only for spurs to go 2-1 up with say 20 minutes to go. Does the crowd roar the team on to push for an equaliser? Or think 'here we go again' and moan as Adkins takes off Lambert for Guly? If we get hammered, Adkins could well be in trouble, particularly as I think we'll get turned over away at West Brom on the Monday game next wkd as well. Fixture list / injuries aside, 4 points from 10 games is poor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pamplemousse Posted 26 October, 2012 Share Posted 26 October, 2012 http://www.tottenhamhotspur.com/spurs/News/saints-impress-jan-26102012.page Jan Vertonghen has been impressed with Southampton – but that’s not stopping him targeting a win at St Mary’s on Sunday. The in-form defender is looking to bounce back from last weekend’s defeat against Chelsea, halting our sequence of four straight wins in the Premier League. Southampton have four points from their eight matches so far on their first season back in the top flight, but performances in high-profile early tests against City and United deserved more than two late defeats - the Saints led in both. “They have a strong team, I’ve seen them a few times and they play ‘proper’ football,” said Jan. “They really want to play and believe in their own philosophy. “They score a lot of goals, but concede a lot as well. “We’ve performed well in our away games, so hopefully it will be the same again on Sunday. We’re confident and we hope we can win to stay at the top of the league.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
