Tottenham Vs Everton: Match Thread

[Syn_13]

The other thing in coming back from a goal down to get a point is it gives us some momentum going in to the next match. They'll walk off feeling confident

Confident at a home draw when so much is at stake? I'm not so sure about that. I don't mean to discredit Everton but they missed big players like us today and we threw it away with shite defending.

 

[YiddoBirdy]

Indeed, but where will Chelsea be

I said a couple of weeks ago that Chelski will finish 5th and I'm sticking by that

Huddlestone was good, but that's just because Everton was sitting back and gave him space.

And I'm sure AVB anticipated this and this was a big factor.

Taking Dembele was the right decision, he consistently fails to spot what's going on ahead of him and is too focused on beating his man with a side step dribble.

He needs to improve his awareness and spot those making runs ahead of him, his team mates expect him to beat his man and they make runs accordingly (sometimes) but he doesn't see it.

Huddlestone was good, but that's just because Everton was sitting back and gave him space.

Hudd and Luka used to run our midfield against teams like United - he isnt suddenly a bad player - he is a brilliant distributor can pick a creative pass as well - Dembele for Dempsey and Hudd and Scotty running the centre - that should be the formula until Gaz gets back.

Until then - come on PAulo Di Canio!!!

let's be honest everton spent 80% of the game in front of their own goal. that alone made things unnecessarily difficult for us. when the game opened up we did damage. we need to work on drawing out the teams that choose to play this way and burn them for it

 

[Spurger King]

Honestly we'd be better off playing 5 at the back instead of having Dempsey on the pitch today.

I know he's been pretty poor this season but it's a bit harsh to slag him off when he wasn't even on the pitch today.

 

[SugarRay]

Good attitude, played quite well overall. Ade was impressive.

Still, against that Everton side we should have taken 3 points. They are average. Terrible defending cost us two points today.

 

[Drexl]

One positive to come out of today is Adebayor was up for it, keeps that up we might still have a decent end of season

 

[Shadydan]

I've backed Dempsey all season but honestly AVB can he please not pick him anymore.

He's so technically limited, always looks to shoot from 30 yards especially on the half turn, not being on the same wavelength as Dembele is forgivable but not being on Ade's is shocking.

Least Ade played well, looks more confident.

 

[absolute bobbins]

He is doing better with less, nothing is shaking my resolve in AVB.

I do take umbrage with some of the Levy signings (well one) and the lack of action in resolving our striking deficiency but AVB is only playing the cards he has been dealt!

 

[Mr Pink]

Some fantastic interchanges between Holtby and Siggy, some great football in spells. Adebayor and Siggy were excellent, Hudd came on and did well.

Very relieved we got a point in the end but utterly frustrated we didn't win on that performance, we really should of. Fourth isn't over yet and its blessing in disguise we have no League football for two weeks now.

 

[EnfieldYiddo]

Wouldn't mind seeing Huddlestone and Dembele together in a 3, with possibly Parker. Huddlestone has trimmed down a lot and can help unlock teams who come to park the bus.

 

[benaudere]

Dawson is a total liability. I am not a big fan of Caulker but I think he should do a better job than him. Dempsey, don't even get me started, a total waste of space. Lennon is really missed today.

 

[MightyModric]

People like this piss me off.

 

[EnfieldYiddo]

Chelsea equalise... If they win we go 4th... Ffs

 

[alfiespurs]

Adebayor was the best player on the pitch today.

I thought this was one of the best games he played this season .

 

[Dare!]

Should've won, but I'll take the point.

COYS.

 

[kazzah9]

Well we saved a point didn't we. With that said, if demps starts the next game we're gonna have a bad time.

 

[Ian Kane]

Am I actually reading some of the absolute shite in here ? Some of you need to get a grip on reality and not this vision of perfection you have of Tottenham. The bashing of players is getting beyond a joke now too. They can be having a stormer but 1 slip or a loss of possession and they're fucking garbage. I'm gonna start giving it back to some of you about how shit you were at work this afternoon and see how you like it. It's fuck all to do with how much you get paid either.

 

[Shadydan]

It's very unfortunate, but the guy is just too irrational to play that position. He can have a great day like today and play excellently overall, but then a moment of typical madness by him and can throw away a whole game.

Just can't have that in the starting eleven if we want to be at the very top.

We need a right back in the summer.

He loses concentration as the worst moments.

I don't think we need a new RB, just needs to be given time, comes down to experience.

That foul at the end there was absolutely brainless, it's moments like those which needs to be coached out of him.
