*** OMT SPURS vs ANZHI ***

[Spaceman]

we dont wanna score, they dont wanna score. blow the whistle already

Loved Vlad in the second half. Ice cold

Agreed. he looks like an excellent player...when he's fully up to speed he will be such an asset...

 

[Mumorn]

very good 3 points. probably the hardest fixture of our group away in Russia.. 6 points from possible 6.

another cleansheet.

 

[Mumorn]

although quite amazed that for the corner kings we are, we havent got 1 corner.

 

[Not just a romanian]

Solid team performance tonight though. Great confidence builders these games.

 

[thfcsteff]

Good job lads...onwards...another win...another clean sheet...great stuff...

Traore looks a good striker.

Who would swop him for Ade? I know I would. Would offer us something different.

 

[GrimsbyYid]

This match showed exactly why Defoe shouldn't be anywhere near our first 11. Yes he scores against weak opposition but his linkup play is so bad it's unreal. Soldado is twice the player Defoe is. He's a great impact sub and to play against weaker teams, but he's simply not good enough.

is he really though? evidence so far suggests otherwise

Really? I thought Traore looked very average, a bit 'working man's Kenwyne' who didn't actually trouble our (largely) second-string...

in terms of movement, link up play Soldado IS twice the player.
in terms of playing against lower opposition and scoring goals, Defoe has shown he is better. (mainly because Soldado isnt playing yet has 2 in 1 when he has)

Wow! Sweeet \o/

 

[Pirate55]

Best thing about today? The result. Nothing else. Overall, a tepid performance. Maybe the pitch can be blamed but in the second half we didn't create a single chance while Lloris had to pull off a few decent saves.

 

[Spursalot]

Agreed. Based on games this season there is one clear winner. Is still too early to write soldado off though, hopefully things will click for him.

 

[GrimsbyYid]

At least. Never mind when soldado settles in the league and team and starts banging them in. It's so clear the quality he has and what Defoe lacks.

I ve seen him play and he has shown huge potential. His transfer fee was 15m and has scored against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge in a 1-1 draw for CFR Cluj.

What? He was the standout player when he came on.
