sir_gary_cahill Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 How good is Luka Modric? I know we were poor but he was absolutely fantastic and has been in every game I've seen him play this season. he is absolutely brilliant, him and vdv are just superb together, a joy to watch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 by most accounts modric was quiet last night... VDV ball that adebayor tried to volley in IMO there are only about 3 players in the prem that could have played that ball, amazing pass but spurs still arent as good as people are making out, they might get 4th if chelsea/arsenal dont sort themselves out (chelsea will spend, arsenal will get wilshere back) but they still have as much chance as us of winning the league Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 Modric ball to Bale was top class but he didnt control it properly though couldnt be judged on last night as he had so much time on the ball alst night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 Scott Parker is one of the signings of the season imo, he fits brilliantly into their team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rosenthal Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 Spurs 1 - 5 Ci£y Can people stop creaming their Y fronts over Spurs please The Manchester games at the start of the season was without our entire backbone. We were yet to complete the signings of the summer (Parker and Adebayor), the Modric saga was going on - he played only one the the two games was forced to play one and sat out the other, King and Sandro were out as well. Leaving a rookie (Livermore) and a softy (Kranjcar) as our midfield in one the games, and two attacking unbalanced players (Kranjcar and Modric) in the other. City and United are yet to face the Spurs side that is getting praise at the moment. We were easy pickings for them at the time, as we weren't ready. Current full strenght Spurs side is excellent and close to perfect, remains to be seen how we'll do if Adebayor or King is out though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtsimonw Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 The 2 you mentioned at the end need replacing with top players (as does your other CB) and then you will be title contenders, in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimplySpurfect Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 Spurs 1 - 5 Ci£y Can people stop creaming their Y fronts over Spurs please In fairness, that game came at a terrible time for Spurs. King, Gallas and Sandro were injured, Parker and Adebayor hadn't signed (though Adebayor couldn't have played anyway) and Modric was still kicking up a fuss about leaving. Having a central midfield combination of Kranjcar and a wantaway Modric is dangerous against any Premier league opposition, but it was catastrophic against a Man City team that started the season in such storming fashion. Since then, results have gone better than any Spurs fan could've hoped. I do think the team will come unstuck eventually. While the results have been fantastic, several performances have been poor. It's sheer good fortune that Spurs walked away from Fulham with an incredibly undeserved three points. QPR and Blackburn threatened to take points away from us in the second half of the games after we'd gotten a decent lead. I thoroughly expected Villa to come out second half, score an early goal and have a period of pressure that has us Spurs fans clenching our arse cheeks. Until the management and the players can learn to either go for the finishing blow or suffocate the opposition's attempt at a second half revival, the team runs the risk of dropping points from winning positions. The Spurs midfield had all the time in the world against Villa last night. It completely baffles me how they didn't score a single goal in the second half. It's rare that a team will come to White Hart Lane and give the players that much space, yet the players were content to just keep possession and occasionally play an attacking through ball. Man City would've scored 5 or 6 last night. Spurs did the exact same thing against Liverpool. I know the final score line was 4-0, but Liverpool were schocking even when they had 11 men. Once they were down to 9, Spurs were in a position to inflict a serious humiliation on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rosenthal Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 Adebayor fit us very well though, he's such a massive threat for any defence (pace, strenght, size, movement) which opens up space for Rafa and the wingers. He could be better in front of the goal, but it's not a big issue when his partner score as well. Think it will be difficult to find anyone better than him for a club like Tottenham (limited wages). Known fact we want Llorente, but we're likely to have to look at players on their way up in stead. Lennon is perhaps the player I feel we can upgrade on, but on the other hand his extreme pace has been important for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
