Posted on Wednesday, 28th November 2012 by Harry Hotspur
Good morning.
Another crackerjack Hotspur’s Half Hour and our extra special this week is our latest foreign correspondent is @dnaphm who proudly files the Lilywhite flag in Ontario.
This week we get to grips with that Lazio game and the West Ham game. Which means we give Mr Herbert a small shoeing as well as reflect upon the sad, lonely and desperately unwashed racists that seem to have come crawling out of the woodwork now the nights are drawing in.
The musical arrangements from the our resident one man house band Mr Loveridge will blow you cyber socks off and they pay tribute to Jermain Defoe and Jake Livermore.
Guest spots for future shows are still available so come and have a go if you think you’re hard enough.

There aren’t many Spurs fans in Bristol. And whenever we do happen upon other Spurs fans we huddle together like the survivors of an apocalypse.
So this Podcast is the only dedicated Spurs talk that isn’t tarnished by other fans or biased media that I have.

Tottenham: Lloris, Walker, Dawson, Gallas, Vertonghen, Sandro, Dembele, Lennon, Dempsey, Bale, Defoe.
Subs: Friedel, Naughton, Carroll, Huddlestone, Livermore, Sigurdsson, Townsend.
Did Caulker take a knock?

Feeling good about this.
Just want to mention that I agree with Lloris being number one but it would be good to give brad some games (not this one!)
Love the midfield.Well enough to neutralize gerrard and their midfield
The only achilles I see it that Suarez could nip behind the high line as he is a clever f*cker.Also a late tackle by Gallas could offer a penalty to them.
But apart from that we should be ok.

Yes, Daws contesting headers with the Spam was a good call, but a nippy bastard like like Suarez can cause some issues. Oh well, with Caulker not even on the bench, it has be this way.

I agree.Gallas played well in parts but we have to change. Dawson had a game but wasted possession time and time again.
I dont know what AVB said in the dressing room at half time but either they didnt listen or he got in wrong.This happened before.its not the first time.
We are WORSE when playing scared.
We are devastting when playing attacking and positive.

Perhaps not…
Anyway. Bad points:
Jan at LB – disaster, that little boy skinned him EVERY single time.
Bale not helping out defensively again
Gallas – terrible performance, ball watching, hoofing, conceding possession, totally out of sorts
Sandro – worst game in a while, lost most of his challenges, misplaced most of his passes
Dempsey – was Sunday a one-off? Was this the real Dempsey back again?
Dembele – can pivot and swivel and come out of tight spots a la Le Rat but I don’t think he has the passing ability nor vision
Sigurdsson – another cameo role – did he do anything
AVB – no reaction to a complete possession and territorial pasting over 85% of the match. Like for like subs and no discernible change in tactics at any point.
Plus points:
Lennon’s work rate and diligence is grossly under-valued. Best player for us today.
Erm… No booing? There was even a brief chorus of ‘AVB’s blue and white army’

Our tactics were good.Wewere hitting them on the counter in the first

Ronnie, literally every attack went down our left channel. If you think that Jan was doing a good job there and that Bale was helping him out, could you explain why Liverpool kept targeting the position?
Sandro missed a lot of tackles, and gave the ball away cheaply on a number of occasions. Sad but TRUE!
Whether him and Dembele were powerful or not, I don’t think there is enough going on in midfield smarts-wise.
I don’t think our tactics were that good. We didn’t touch the ball for 5 minutes then scored on the break. Then we scored from a direct free kick. Apart from the goals I don’t remember much coherent attacking play for the whole game. You seem to think we were good in the first half and poor in the second. I think we were poor for most of the first half too. Liverpool bossed the game territorially but they are totally toothless. A lot of other teams would have punished our muddled, scrappy, directionless play and gormless defending / clearing. I fear.
Defoe did nothing I forgot to say. What’s the point? He wasn’t given anything to play with. If you don’t supply him he might as well not be on the pitch – nothing new there.
Bale was our best attacking player, but then he always is. I think Lennon, in terms of his overall contribution, was equally noteworthy. A lot of times he was the only player actively pressing, plus he got back a lot and provided a few moments of relief by receiving the ball and going forward intelligently. As I said, I think his diligence is under-valued – Enough said!

What I saw in the first half was Tottenham with speed and counter attacking well and attacking the space through Bale,Lennon,Jan and others.
I thought they had most possession in percentage,they had a good shspe but we made them totally lead footed with our pace.
We just didnt keep it up because we found ourselves 2 up and we got more conservative. They also closed their holes a bit more.
Instead of getting the ball up quickly in the second half and exploitede the space given we staretd this stupid lateral pass game that offered Liverpool the chance to close.
Also when we were under attack dawson (who played well defensively incidently)and company kept on giving the ball to the opposition.
Thats what I saw.
If youwants to highlite a few mistimesd tackle etc so be it but we stopped exploiting them with our speed in the second.
LLL Reply:
November 29th, 2012 at 3:31 am
It’s not that I want to highlight a few mistimed tackles. We lost the midfield in the 2nd half and I don’t think we ever truly had it anyway. The few breaks we had were quick moves from one end to the other. You say that Dawson was guilty of giving away possession – but it’s not really his job to keep possession as a CB. He was hacking things away because too many things were flying into the box.
As I say, I really thought we played pretty poorly for the majority of the game, and perhaps if Liverpool weren’t so toothless we would have come out with a different result. But hey, 3 points is 3 points, they are on the board now and it sets us up well for the weekend, when hopefully we can play a little better.
Ronnie Wolman Reply:
November 29th, 2012 at 12:37 pm
I cant agree.With Dawson he hoofs it up or puts it into touch unnecessarily at times.
We were running rings around them in the first half.
Something changed in the second and my question is why????
Was it our tactics???
Sandro and Dembele were not getting it forward and we were relying on Bale to do all the running
They had less to deal with because of it
I thought it was the tacics had changed but who knows.
Lordy Reply:

Agree about Lennon he works harder than people think, for me Galla shouldn’t be in the team although he nicked one right off the foot of Suarez late on. For all Dawsons faults I like having a “proper” defender in there although when Kaboul and Benny come back I’d drop him. Bale is head and shoulders above anything we have or have had for a while he’s truly world class and in more than one game this year I just watch and think how ordinary we will be without him. Walkers best game since last season. Sandros worst game yes but lately he’s been doing more than his fair share , Parker wouldn’t get in my starting 11. We need a really big January but I don’t see it coming Levy needs to back his backward plan to give it any hope of working

And for our first goal Bale left Gerrard and Johnson for dead before going past another 2 Liverpool players and putting it on a plate for Lennon to score.
Funniest thing was once Bale went past Johnson he just fell to the floor, presumably because he thought trying to catch Bale was a waste of time.

Contrary to my praise of Big Tommy Hudd, I was so pleased Moses played instead. Not because I don’t rate him-but because Sandro was bloody awful and paired with Big Tom would’ve been a total disaster. I’m feeling like we lost-but last season’s battering apart, most of our recent games against the Pool have been flakey, but Lordy I guess won’t recall them. So 2-1, injury time winner by Lennon-2-1 Bassong and BAE’s first ever 2-1 Carragher og, and Pav’s 1st after a battering-tonight was bugger all to do with tactics, it was abut players hoofing the flippin’ ball anywhere-I say anywhere?, anywhere but to another bloke in a white shirt that is?

Agree that Thudd wouldn’t have worked well today with Sandro off-colour. Although Dempsey’s contribution (aside for the dive for the free kick) was again negligible so perhaps our dream team of Sandro, Thudd, Dembele would have been more useful.
Either way, we scraped a fortuitous win, not for the first time this season. 5th place after 15 games, above Arsenal and still looking distinctly incoherent on the field. Could be worse I suppose!

Thing is, a lot of teams are playing the same amount of games and we’re not really changing our attacking players from game to game so it shouldn’t be an excuse for the lack of coherence in the way we are playing. Well, it could be part of the reason but there’s obviously more to it.
I don’t have a problem with Dawson. Gallas was certainly this or that though today, and in fact perhaps has run out of premier league steam?

How can we? Defoe tonight got zero supply, you were there and saw it for yourself, but just whacking the ball upfield and the amount of times possession was just handed to them was doing my noddle in. Lenno was really motoring, but time and time again the outball was pathetic-don’t mind counter attacking but you do have to pass to a team-mate I’d have thought
LLL Reply:

My point was that we aren’t changing our attacking players and yet we aren’t seeing much ‘gelling’ going on between them – hence my point about Bale playing the ‘one man wrecking ball’ role.
The hoofing and panicked clearances was weird today. There was a bit of a lack of movement and showing for a pass, but some of it you just have to put it down to clueless play. At least a couple of times we won a free kick late on in the 2nd half, and instead of playing it short and trying to keep possession, whoever it was who took it elected to hoof a cross-field ball over to a heavily marked Lennon or Defoe! I mean what the fcuking fcuk??!

Dont take fcukin’ fcuk lightly.Its the short passes that killed us in the second (well didnt kill us) They got back behind the ball and covered and we lost our edge of the first half.
Every time we try to play like Barca we look more stupid than any other team that has ever played the game.
The ball goes laterally across the field from one player to the centre ,to to other side and back maybe 3 times.As soon as there is pressure it goes back,then laterally there,then more pressure and eventually Dawson gets it or someone else and they kick it up to them.
It doesnt work for us.What works for us is a quick counter after the other team has attacked and our pace klilling them.
Essexian76 Reply:

Well that wa sort of what I was hinting at-against Wesssss-Taymmmm-We had Hudd spraying it about, knocking 3-60 and 70 yarders to all areas, whicg opened them up on countless occasions-but yesterday-it tiptoe through the midfield-which them became a minefield-so the ball was constantly getting lost and pressure came right back onto the defence-to simply whacked it up to mid-who promptly lost again-perhaps it was because Sandro simply ran out of puff-I dont know?

One thing that bothers me is how we are now so reliant on Bale as a one man attack. Yes, we lost Modric, but he was not a goal scoring or assisting player anyway. Bale is playing well obviously but at times it looks like he really knows he is that much better and will try and take on the whole opposition as he doesn’t trust anyone else with a pass here or there.

I guess that was a ploy to get closer to Defoe and Dempsey, but yes, and it has been a feature in other games. Bale has been more effective tucking in this season but asking Lennon to come inside reduces his attacking game…
I have to give some credit to Liverpool, they were pretty tidy with good, positive possession and build up. They just don’t have much happening in the box, Suarez aside.

He (Suarez) played a ball with the outside of his foot, blow me-it was sublime, something I’ve not seen many strikers do-really admire him, he reminds me of Klinsmann with his availability and work-rate-he doesn’t give anyone an inch-brilliant player

Yes Cazorla Great player.They both have intensity and can make things happen
When you go to a flea market to buy something its an exciting experience.You come home and you believe you’ve got a good deal. (as Ali G says “I DONT MEAN YOU”LOL”
But you really dont know what you bough half the time.Sometimes its a pearl but sometimes its not
You go to the West End and go to a brand shop and think ‘look at the ridiculous price of that’
Yes someof it is advertising but there is a standard.
A bit like us compared to the teams we are trying to emulatein the market.

Chelsea buys 38 million pound players (they are big)

Our worst buy was VDV. The 8 million bargain was a trojan horse for our future price structures

I put it in perspective…. Manure scored 30 seconds in and then played a scoreless draw against Wet Spam at “The Theatre of Dreams”….. Apart from Liverpool and Newcastle, did we thrash anyone at home last year? This league is so strong from top to bottom that big scorelines are few and far between, usually involve something crazy like Ade at the endicript. Not thrilled but will take the 3 points as this could have been a replay of WBA or Norwich….. Always look on the bright side of life

Good win, very happy to have done a number over those boys…
No-one seems to have mentioned Ade’s absence, this evening – we’ve managed to win 2 of the 3 games that he’s suspended for, which is great…
Personally, I think he’d have made a big difference in the second half, as he can actually hold the ball up and glue our disjointed attack together…
Caulker was ill today, let’s hope he’s fit for Saturday… this chopping and changing in the back 5 isn’t helping us, at all…

Reto wasn’t quite ready when we had him, but he seems to have come good in the last few years. He was only 18 when we bought him, and 21 when we sold.
Not a world-beater exactly, but good enough that italian champions Juve bought him. They’ve sent him out on loan to Lok. Moscow, but that’s not too damning when you consider that they also have Padoin, De Ceglie and Caceres to choose between at LB and a number of other good LM’s. He’s also a regular for Switzerland, who’ve got a pretty strong team these days.
Not that I’m suggesting we should take him back, or should have kept him. But he’s become a decent enough LB.

Man U weren’t very good last night, but you just know they are not going to concede. If they are behind they seem to have a Ferrari gear box to call on. But just another win for them, and unlike us it never seems to be in doubt. I wonder if you examined the stress level of the average Spurs fan against the average Utd. fan during a match the spikes on our charts would look like The Rocky Mountain Range and theirs would look like Skeggy beach in comparison. I can’t help but admire them and wish a bit of it would rub off on us.

Our players work their socks off but United have been a force to reckon with since the rebuilding in the early sixties.They are a powerhouse club with depth and halls of success.
One of the reasons is the greatest manager in the history of the English game.
Ok so this year they didn’t spend much but they did buy the top goalscorer in the league.
The difference is the manager.
But he is different than most managers.
Thats why the fans have trust

That’s right Ronnie. Also when they are going for the jugular at the end of a match the defending team gets ever more desperate and the lunges become more reckless and the tackles more with the potential to lose the game. It’s no coincidence that the number of refereeing decisions go their way. I don’t think there is any great refereeing conspiracy to help them win, I just think that the very nature of their style of play forces defenders to be reckless and it appears (groundlessly to me) that the refs are biased towards them. Bad decisions against us at OT notwithstanding!
[Reply]
Ronnie Wolman Reply:
November 29th, 2012 at 12:54 pm
Yes they dig deep.They have a long and strong history and its obvious that Fergie imparts that to every player that comes to United.When he tells them what he expects there cannot be any question in their minds. They believe it.
Harry Redknapp it seems let his team play,gave them the confidence in themselves but never gave them the tools to cope when there was a problem.It was left to VDV and Bale to use their own desire to make that happen.
AVB and Wenger seem thinkers.Its more about getting back to the plan.
Fergie has it all.He is gives them the best of everything and has the history of United to fall back onto

1986-1991, won bugger all-spent a fortune-got lucky in the FA cup, but his board stayed with him despite the media howling for him to be sacked. Unlike Auntie Whinger-he didn’t inherit an established and brutal back four to build success upon (doesn’t it appear strange that since the last of the English defenders retired-they’ve won nothing?) SAF can always spend big if required, we can’t-we have to build with frugality and caution-massive difference, and fraught with the likehood we’ll lose our better players is success isn’t forthcoming and by success, I don’t mean the LC or Europa League-they mean nothing, case in point was losing Berbatov and Keane in 2008
