Van Der Vaart - any news on his injury?

[spurs mental]

We did attack Inter. In the first half. Went up 1-0.

Scoring 2 breakway goals from our end of the pitch in the second half isn't attacking football, but you knew that.

It's clear that Harry values Jenas right now, rates him highly. He's been vindicated for sure. Jenas has been the right choice most of the time.

I'm just saying that we went from attacking Inter in the first half to going on the defensive in the second half. Obviously I'm happy with the result. Rewatch the game. There is a reason we were all nervous in the 2nd half.. Inter had us on our heels, they brought on Milito and that little Brazilian dude who Bale knocked over by the flag.

I'm re-watching the game at the moment, and it's been all us the first ten minutes of the second half. In fact, in the last three minutes we've been parked outside the Inter Milan box, probing and prodding, and they couldn't get out because of the immense pressure we put on them from the start of the half. If we parked the bus, we would have retreated back every time we lost the ball, but we just squeezed the life out of them when they had the ball around their box, and for that reason they had to resort to long balls to Eto'o at times.

I'll keep you posted on what happens if you want? :shrug:

He sounds just like Martin Jol
