Arsenal are no better.

 

At least they've got an excuse- a man sent off and one of their top players got injured early doors.

 

Spurs are totally clueless despite all that AND having home advantage.

 

Arsenal are missing so many first team players it is untrue.

 

They're only missing 4 first team players.  The Spuds are missing just as many, we're missing nearly twice that number and in fact most Premiership teams are missing more players then Arsenal.

They're missing 4 first team players.  The Spuds are missing just as many, with 9 Premiership sides missing more, including us right at the top of the injury league with 9 (6 first teamers).

 

Spuds could not put a stronger side out tbh

 

Arsenal with Arshavin, Fabregas, Eduardo, Walcott and Diaby would improve greatly

Defoe and King would definitely start if fit and would definitely improve the Spuds.  O'hara and Hutton are also first teamers if not definite starters, Gomes is the only one out injured who definitely wouldn't start.

 

I didn't think about Arshavin by the way considering he's not really injured and in fact could have played at least some part of the game.  He's just not match fit and likely Wenger didn't think a derby would be the right time to make his debut anyway.

Thanks for that, you're spot on.

Shocking result for Tottenham really. Pretty embarassing.

 

Yes 0-0 against Arsenal is really embarassing.

 

0-0 against a 10 men Arsenal with Adebayor limping off in the first half is not that great though is it?

Disagree with you Kingdawson.

 

Defoe - Keane partnership is proven to be not productive.

O'hara is not a definite first team starter. There is no guarantee at all Harry will play him if he is fit.

Hutton has been poor. That's why Spurs went on to buy Corluka and Chimbonda.

No it's a bad result but is it "embarassing"?

I've been impressed with what I've seen of Hutton (only decent Spurs player in the 1-4 for starters) he's just been out injured a lot. Defoe/Keane would have been the starting partnership up top without a doubt if Defoe had been fit.

 

Having watched that, whilst the sending off was the right decision (however Dean arrived at it) I think the ref seemed to be leaning towards Spurs a lot more. They got the vast majority of decisions imo.

Not embarassing but you have to question your team in a local derby, man advantage, plenty of possession, Arsenal fucking up every attack they had and yet you barely worked Almunia at all all day.

Redknapp would have found a way to start Defoe, that's for sure. Think we bought Corluka because of his ability to cover cb more then rb tbh and it has nothing to do with Hutton being poor (which he has been this season but we bought corluka 2 or 3 games into the season).

Clean Sheet Today so the King arguement is flawed

Defoe instead of Pav and Bent, maybe slightly, but i think a Pav/Defoe combo is going to be the best!

The managers are not impressed with Hutton though. Even if Hutton is fit - Corluka and Chimbonda will most likely be ahead of him in the queue.

 

Keane + Defoe would be Harry's first choice partnership - but they have not been proven productive in tandem in the past despite given many opportunities. I think it would be wrong to hypothesize that they will automatically turn good once touched by the "midas" that is Harry Redknappe.

I miss King because I do think he will improve the back 4  :razz:

 

But as someone just said, the fact of clean sheet sort of nullify any advantage of having a fit King and Hutton.

I would say embarrassing, in the fact that they are your local rivals. If Sunderland were to come to St James', lost their main striker before half time due to injury, replaced him with someone who wasn't match fit, and then one of their midfielders was sent off I would be gutted and embarrassed if we came away with a 0-0.

When you look at Spuds side:

 

..........................................................Cudicini/Gomes.......................................................

 

Corluka/Hutton/Chim.....................Dawson/Woody/King/Huddlestone...................Esso/Bale

 

Lennon/Bentley...........................Jenas/Modric/Zokora/Palacios......................Taarabt/Ohara

 

........................................Defoe/Keane/Bent/Keane.....................................................

 

It is a top 4 squad without a doubt

Is it better than any of the other top 4's like? No? Then it isn't a top 4 squad then.
