We didn't lose 2-1! Nice surprise. At least Bent looked lively.
Ceuta, where Nayim seems to have been born, is a Spanish enclave in North Africa, totally surrounded by Morocco, much like Hong Kong and China.
So, in a way, he's both Spanish & Moroccan! You're both right.
Gutted. I never knew that football effected my mood so much until this season. Come Friday (unless there's a UEFA game) I'm normall back to great spirits, only for them to be destroyed by Saturday. Juande was clearly not happy with the team - often telling them to concentrate and the like. You can tell they've done a fair amount of work on the training ground.
For me players that cut the mustard were: Malbranque, Bent, Dawson (v. good apart from slip), Defoe and a half for KBP and Chimbo
Players who stood out as being rather poor were our two second half CMs - jenas and zokora who were frustratingly DIRE - so much so that they don't deserve a capital letter for their surnames.
Dissapointing with a 1-1 draw today, but I liked that he did dare to change the team, and put in Bent, Defoe, Boateng from the start.
It was OK that he tried a new partnership in the 2nd half, but Keane and Berbatov did not impress today. I disagree with the Boateng - Zokora change. I thought that Jenas should have gone off instead of Boateng. Boateng and Zokora would be an exciting combination.
A little bit unlucky today aswell, when Young scored that cracker. Once in a lifetiime goal, and always against Spurs. A little bit bad defending there, though....
We will get better, though....
