Gallowgate End Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 SSN are saying Berbatov picked up a knock for Bulgaria last Wednesday and is a doubt. Considering they are playing on Thursday too with 3 games in 7 days I would not be surprised to see Bent come in for Berbatov for this one. Good time as any to play Spurs at the moment I feel.

beardsleymagic Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 I was about to head off to bed, and then I saw this load of rubbish: Jol: Newcastle not in our league http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/story?id=474698&cc=5901 Desperate last ramblings of a condemned man.

Wouldnt suprise me either, They could play 4-5-1 because didnt Bent used to play up front on his own for Charlton? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tottenham season ticket holder friend of mine says Martin Jol always plays 4-4-2 the only time he hasn't was indeed 4-5-1 against Newcastle last season... But Defoe was due to play but got injured in the warm up and Mido was not match fit. So can't see Jol playing anything else other then 4-4-2 given the current striker options he has.

Yorkie Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 Actually, i think i'd be really keen to see Geremi down the right-wing. Milner really is fucked, and he played during the international break aswell. I think it would benefit both players and the team - because Jimmy just ain't up to scratch at the moment. Geremi however, well, i honestly can't remember him ever playing centre-midfield in the Premiership, and so far it just looks like a waste of talent. He's a good crosser of the ball so it'd be good to see him down the right. It'd be nice to see him as an actual attacking asset. Consequently, it would offer a balanced - and potentially metronomical - centre-midfield of Butt and Emre. One sitting and one penetrating, each assigned to specific roles, as apposed to the previous combination (Butt/Geremi) mixing and matching. That simply hasn't worked. Can't wait. Especially if Berbatov is out. We'd be more likely to help him break his duck, than help Bent break his. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest TommyW Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 Possibly not the best thing for Martin to say, but then Allardyce has been trying to wind up managers left right and center lately too.

Dr Spectrum Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 Jol has always been a bit of a cunt when he's under pressure. I remember when he first got the job they went on a poor run and Iain Dowie was covering one of the games on the telly, they got beat and he said Jol got it wrong - Jol came out and said Dowie wasn't fit to tie his laces. He's got no class whatsoever. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest TommyW Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 When did he say Bale was a waste of money? Got a link? Can't find the quotes right now but here's part of the article. It was in the Mirror the other day Newcastle manager Sam Allardyce has claimed that the £10m Spurs paid for Gareth Bale was ridiculous and was only because he's considered a young British talent for the future. Allardyce said that he would only cost up to 1.5m Euro's if he was from another continent and claimed that the amount of money spent on young British talent was stupidity. To be honest, I'd have agreed with him if he'd used Darren Bent as the example! Bale though has been a cracking signing. I'd have paid 20 million for him!

Martin Jol doesn't make the signings - we've got a director of football doing it. That's half the problem because he keeps buying players 'for the future' or players we don't actually need (Darren Bent) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, will definately wind our players up hopefully, he's helped us motivate them for tonight. If we beat them, its going to make him look even worse than he already is!

Dokko Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 I had a dream last night we were getting beat when i checked the scores on teletext (which i haven't done for about 10 years) then i thought something was odd, checked again and we were playing away, thought to myself thats wrong, checked again and we were then playing Bolton away being beat, again thought to myself were not playing Bolton, checked again and we were winning 3-1 at home to Reading. Make what you will of that, it did however wake me up this morning seriously confused. Cheese before bedtime, legendary. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And is Aarron Lennon back in contention for you lot yet? haven't seen him get played for a while now. Lennon missed the Liverpool game through injury, but should be back for tonight. I imagine it'll be something like this: Cerny Chimbonda Kaboul Dawson Bale Lennon Jenas Zokora Tainio Berbatov Keane Usually we'd play Bale LW but I'm not sure Jol will want to play both Lennon and Bale on the wings. Might leave us a little exposed. To be honest though I think we're best just going for it, because we can't defend to save our lives! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest RodrigoPalacio Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 I didn't realise Spurs midfield was so poor. Lennon is very hit and miss imo, Jose will see to him, Tainio isn't even a winger, never mind a left footed one, Zokora seems decent, and Jenas, well - we all know about him and his 'abilities'.
