I hope 4-3-3
well................
I hope 4-3-3
I will take the point but who's to say we wouldn't have got a winner if it wasn't for that pathetic sending off
well................
It was awful to watch him do that.
Was 4-2-3-1 and we suffered for it! The Lampard/Mikel duo was too slow for Spurs's midfield.
1st half i personally thought we done well to come in just 1 down. I thought the pace of Spurs's midfield was too much for Lampard and thought it would be best if he come off but in fairness to him he was much much better in the 2nd half as was Ramires in a deeper position. 2nd half there was only going to be one winner, Torres did play very well and i was very impressed with him today (apart from his finishing). On the red card no it wasn't a red card but he should have gone for that scratch but then again two wrongs do not make a right.
2nd half was full of positives and Mata seems to be doing everything Jose wants him to do and he was brilliant today. Schurrle still can't finish, Luiz and JT solid, Hazard and Oscar quite quiet by their standards.
All in all my tweet sums up the result and the ambitions of these two sides.
Jose "Not happy with a point"
AVB "Happy with a point"
UTC!
To be fair, Mata wasnt doing what Jose was asking him to do. Mata was just doing what he has been doing since he arrived in the PL. If Mata doesnt fit the system, fair enough, but Jose is off the mark trying to suggest he isn't doing enough imo.
Ironic that no Spurs fan saw the blatant dive by Vertonghen leading up to the Torres claw. If the referee made the correct decision Vertonghen would've been booked then, and after that aswell.
Mata didnt play like he did in the last game, he played the way he usually does. This is the ONLY way he must play.
Well i personally saw him pressing still far more than he used too and tracking back further than he usually did too. But still had that ability to unluck thigns.
maybe today he made a few tackles more than what he usually offers, but making him a Khedira will not help him/us. It's wrong. Just wrong. Better not play him than making him do that. It's hurting my eyes.
It's not making him a Khedira though is it? Defend as a team and attack as a team. He made Joe Cole a far better player overall. Mata attempted 3 tackles today in 45 mins compared to Oscar's 1 in 83 mins.
