The Prophet

Wow, what a goal from Manu.

some people will stop at nothing to acknowledge a good performance by our 'figures of hate' another shocking statement. Anybody who criticises any of our players after that effort, needs to have a long hard think about thier expectations. Obertan was wank.

It'd be very harsh to give Ben Arfa the nod over Marveaux like. As for the result we'll probably get beat thanks to JH and his daft thread.

What a knob, Wigan are bound to turn us over now. ..but seriously, I think Stoke will do us at their place.

Nah man not having that. If you can please watch the game again and see if you can compare Cabaye's performance with Parkers. I know Cabaye is a favourite on here but he was not good today. From a spurs fans perspective on your players performance today.. Jonas was motm. Caused us all sorts of problems and worked his arse off. Toite was good, worked hard and made Livermore look like an amateur. Coloccini was very very good and looked calm and comfortable for most parts of the game. Ba was good, works hard, caused us problems when the ball was played to him. Your fb's were ok but were not put under pressure (simpson though gives up at times when its obvious he can get the ball). Taylor was ok other then the mistake for the pen and Krul made a good save and generally did well. Shola was immense. Now for the bad. Best was bad today. He caused us no problems at all and he had a touch of that simpson defeatist attitude (times where he could get the ball but stops half way). He really didn't contribute to anything the 1st half. Cabaye imo was also bad as he was simply invisbible most of the game. Imo he was getting bailed out at times by Tiote being a physical monster and tracking back. He improved a bit later in the game but that's a 6/10 performance at best. Obertan was just s***. Cabaye did his defensive duties for me like. I think you'd of seen a lot more of your midfield if he hadn't. Granted going forward he didn't do a great deal, particularly with his set pieces which were below par. He wasn't good but he wasn't bad. As for Best I also thought he did well without looking a threat, his link up play, close control and holding up play were good. He regularly took down a pointless ball from Krul and turned it into something useful. As for the bad I thought while our full back were far from disasterous but both looked uncomfortable. Taylor did his duties but he was never convincing. Simpson was sloppy and caught out of possession too many times for my liking. Obertan as you say was s****.

Cabaye was quiet. We've seen when he pushes forward he can really dictate football matches but it didn't happen today, he also got caught for the penalty incident. Still got stuck in and picked some decent passes, similar to Parker's performance really. Obertan was utter shit.

I don't rate Parker, and while he was nothing special today he got stuck in and kept things ticking over. It's what he's in the side to do.

Harsh. He hit it off balance on the turn, tough ask. From the slide, not from the shot. Fair play, I'd have to see it again.

Simply has to drop out. Another no show from light bulb heed.

For me, Marveaux has to be first in line if Obertan drops out. Ben Arfa is going to be a class act but Marveaux has shown more in his cameos to deserve a shot in the side.

I'd go: Krul Taylor Taylor Colo Santon Marveaux Tiote Cabaye Jonas Ba Best

Harsh. He hit it off balance on the turn, tough ask.

Was really impressed with Kaboul today like, thought he was Spurs best player. Parker was Parker, Modric oozed class while Bale was anonymous. It's truly bamboozling how the man received PFA player of the year.

Aye, they have a half decent record up here too. They usually nick a point. I'm being cautious about this one.

Aye if we get a win here and something off Everton it sets us up nicely, even if we get an absolute roasting in Manchester.

I think I'd still stick him at left back and leave Taylor and Simpson to battle it out for right back. He's the only one who knows how to play the position.

I'd like to say comfortable win but Wigan have made an upleasant habit of knicking something up here. I'll think on it.

I usually stick up for Simpson but he got caught out of position too many times for my liking today. He was also sloppy in possession.

Krul 6 - Didn't do a lot a wrong. A few aimless balls up the park but made some saves that needed to be made so it's hard to be too picky. Simpson 4 - Woeful for me like. He seems to be getting worse as the season goes on. Taylor 6 - Awful for the panalty but played alright overall, crucial block in the second half. Colo 8 - Dreamy, as always. Taylor 5 - He didn't do a lot wrong but he still looked clueless at times. Unconvincingly did his job. Obertan 4 - Seriously man is he smoking Pardew? Looks a real poor player, unsure how he's clinging onto his place in the team. Cabaye 6 - Played well overall but really poor for the goal, his set pieces were hit and miss too. Tiote 8 - Thought he was immense today. Jonas 9 - Absolutely brilliant again. Tracked back, looked threatening going forward. Great play for the goal. Best 6 - I know he didn't look threatening but his hold up play was excellent today. Ba 7 - same as Best, defended from the front and got his goal. As a pair they look a real handful. Ben Arfa 5 - Looked a bit off the pace getting caught in possession a couple of times. Seemed to almost try too hard at times. Shola 8 - Shola at his very best. Great hold up play and superb finish, I slated Pardew for bringing him on but fair play. Santon 7 - Looked really good to me, comfotable on the ball and goot forward well. Pardew 7 - Didn't think he put the correct team out but we played really well. His subs saved the game.

Wow. Did anyone see that coming?

You played better overall but we created the better openings so a draw is fair. Fair

Nice honesty for Taylor, his block in the second half somewhat makes up for the penalty incident.

Great point, to come from behind twice just shows how much spirit there is in the camp at the minute.

How is Obertan still on the park? Christ on a bike.

Ba off for Shola, really?
