Gomes looks on bright side


Heurelho Gomes has chosen to focus on the positives after our Carling Cup Final defeat at the hands of Manchester United.
The goalkeeper picked out the magnificent support of our fans at Wembley as one the driving forces behind the team's performance.
Gomes also cited a clean sheet against the European champions over 120 minutes of football, and has praised the display overall before a heartbreaking penalty shoot-out robbed us of glory.
"We played very well and the boys deserve a big pat on the back," he said. "It's always difficult against a team like United but it was so close.
"I want to say a big thank you to the fans because they were fantastic and really pushed us on. They are brilliant wherever we go.
"Penalties are a lottery but you have to say that United took theirs very well. I'm happy to have kept a clean sheet, but it hasn't won us the cup unfortunately."
Although he admits it would have been a dream to have picked up a trophy in his maiden season with Spurs, Gomes is hopeful of future success.
"It was a great opportunity to win my first trophy with Spurs, but we have to keep going and hope we get more opportunities in the future."

Fair play Hurelho, I was really impressed with him yesterday.

Perhaps now he's got some solid competition in Carlo Cudicini he's realised he needs to raise his game.

Well said Gomes. :clap:

 

[Goldman]

Thats exactly the kind of game he needed to get him back to full confidence. Shame we couldn't win, but i think he will definately benfit from that game.

he definitely looked fitter, his kicking was much better and no silly stuff with the short throws either

to me he's easily our No.1 - I'd play him on wed - those giants of Boro could overpower CC at set pieces - admitted they might undo HG too -

Harry's call

interesting one

He's been playing this well for months now, the only hiccup he had was the injury. If Harry even thinks about benching him he's silly, because he's our best goalkeeper.

Slightly off topic but ive got to say that i was absolutely disgusted with the players at the end of the game yesterday. A lot of fans streamed out but a fair, including myself, stayed on for 15 minutes or so after the last penalty and the players didnt even cross the half way line to thank the supporters. That is nothing short of disgraceful and slightly soured my up-beat mood from the performance.

All i wanted to do was congratulate and thank the players for giving everything for the cause, but they were too lazy and pretentious to thank us for our efforts, which i think is a real shame.

They did clap us - but yes, only from the half way line. I don't bear them a grudge as they were probably to busy consoling Jamie O and getting over their disappointment. I felt it was more important for us to show our appreciation of their valiant effort than vice versa but that may well be why they've put this article on the Official Site.

Gomes did play well yesterday and has been improving over the last few games. I just get really annoyed with him when he fucks up - then feigns injury, it's quite pathetic.

That aside, it's good to see him playing well and hope it continues.
