BottledDog Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Krul 7 - best save was from the Gylfi offside and couldn't do much more with the goal. Simpson 7 - Wew here turns out he's not the worst player ever Santon 6 - pretty poor for the goal but some enterprising moves going forward Saylor 7 - good return, solid. Perch 7 - played pretty well Cabaye 5 - didn't look fit Tiote 5 - shocking on the ball but tenacious in the tackle (Anita) 6 - looked bright Jonas 7 - dependable as ever HBA 8 - game changer Ba 7 - worked his socks off and what a goal Cisse 5 - worked hard but didn't really contribute Pretty much this.

Colos Short and Curlies Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Difference was we had more game changers than they did on the pitch. Cabaye was obviously not 100% fit and Cisse was quiet, but we still had Ba and Ben Arfa to come up with 2 pieces of magic. Bale was pretty quiet for them, Lennon ran a lot but offered little. Only Defoe looked like really causing us problems. If 2 of our 4 danger men can be quiet and we still beat a team who will be challenging for top 4, then it looks pretty good for the season ahead.

ponsaelius Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Don't think he's amazing mind, but he's an effective player at club level and always improves Spurs when he plays. Bargain considering what they've got out of him for that price. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Lennon isn't very flashy but he's very effective and what he does works, bit like Valencia in a way except Valencia has a more consistent final ball, stronger and better technique. Quite frankly over the last 2-3 years when we play Spurs he concerns me a lot more than Bale does. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiresias Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 I like Lennon whenever I see him, nothing great but think he got benched for VdV to play on the right at times last season? May not be as good as VdV but Spurs seemed a positional mess at times Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Thing about Spurs team is they simply have no replacement for Lennon. They might have better players but the width and pace he provides the team is so important in how they play. Don't mean to turn this into a Lennon wankfest but i do like him and think he's extremely important to Spurs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BONTEMPI Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Love to see Krul NewRB Saylor Colo Santon Tiote Cabaye Anita Ben Arfa Ba Cisse For the next home game Anita looks more in the Cabaye mold from what I saw of him, not an out and out ball winner.
