I have just got back from the Crawley game what a waste of time that was for second year running we got well beaten by them!
I have to say though that there were some good performances mainly Bostock and Parrett who I thought was excellent. Danny Rose and Obika were bit of a let down but will give them slight excuse that they must have only just got back from far east day or so ago so maybe slightly jet lagged.
However one player who I thought we might see some good things of this season after his rave reviews from his loan at Southend and specially with problems we had a centre back was Dorian Dervitte. Well I couldn't be wrong he was awful tonight I reckon he was at fault for at least 2 of the goals and was very lucky to stay on the pitch after what looked an awful two footed lunge at one of the Crawley players which amazingly went unpunished. His attitude was disgusting. I lost count of the times he played a poor long ball to no one and also refused to tackle a Crawley player and let them just breeze past him. Also lost count of the number of times he would go on a forward run with the ball then lose it and not bother chasing back. His whole attitude tonight was much worse than Berbatovs on a bad day! Even from the warm up you could tell he didn't want to be there tonight.
I saw him against Celtic at the Wembley cup and was slightly concerned about him then when I saw him play and get turned and skinned by Samaras (who at best can be described as an average striker). However thought the whole team played badly that day so put it down to that and maybe nerves at making first start and at Wembley.
However after tonight's performance he should NEVER be allowed near the first team or to put on Tottenham shirt again in any of our teams he was a disgrace.
If he plays against Liverpool on opening day of season we are going to be in real trouble as Gerrard and Torres will take him to the cleaners! Harry needs to get rid of this guy and fast!
I also copied this from Glory Glory from guy on there who was at the game tonight about Dorian Dervitte.
His whole attitude stank. I'm not sure how many of the 4 goals he was responsible for (definitely the 4th) but if ever there was an attitude of "I shouldn't be here" this was it. lazy, un-working, didn't get back to defend when he lost the ball.........everything was shit. And when he was subbed after the 4th goal went in, he was roundly boo'ed. A disgrace tonight, and if he gets near the first team, we're fucked.
