mikeyp102 Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 It would be misleading to put this down to a couple of missed chances. We've missed one really golden sitter and one pretty good one - but they've also missed one or two of their own and still scored two. Spurs have just done more and more has come off for them. This is more down to midfield selection than striker selection IMO. Understand your point (like I say havent seen the game) but you know what they are like, they will use that as a tool to beat us with as Lambert isn't one of the "media darlings" so love a chance to knock him.

AVFCforever1991 Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 It's so easy to say Bent would have scored that. Well, we don't know. We'll never know. Move on. Agreed, but doesn't change the fact that Bent should have started in the first place.. Lambert got it wrong, but im sure he will learn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted October 7, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted October 7, 2012 Benteke has been poor, that's why. My first instincts about him are cautious to say the least. I'm increasingly concerned that he's a bit of a donkey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonic_bouma Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Would have been a good signing, very useful.. Disappointed we didn't get him me too massively when Spammers signed him i came on here and vented my anger and likened him to Song and Diaby and people thought i was crazy..he is a very good player and an absolute destroyer its painful to watch our piss weak midfield get walked through every week 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srsmithusa Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Personal problem you say, care to elaborate? Indeed a therapist is most certainly taking things to an extreme; If anyone is getting personal it is you my friend ;-) My thoughts are with you... Sorry, joke went over your head.

maqroll Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 I was watching Fulham earlier and realised something really weird and sickening - Sidwell would improve our midfield. Michael Bradley would have an automatic spot in this side. Really depressing that we let him go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyM3000 Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 I was thinking the same thing. We must have some outstanding doctors on here with x-ray vision. He got up and then went back down, the way he was holding his leg. Educated guess, cant see it being much else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laivasse Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Benteke has got around a lot and linked up well, just not been clinical. Defoe has been less accurate than benteke today but he'll walk off giving it the big un because his terrible shot went in off somebody's heel. It's just the way things go, would be mad to speculate that Bent starting would have changed the whole game. We may have had even less presence in build up play, who knows.

NurembergVillan Posted October 7, 2012 Moderator Share Posted October 7, 2012 me too massively when Spammers signed him i came on here and vented my anger and likened him to Song and Diaby and people thought i was crazy..he is a very good player and an absolute destroyer its painful to watch our piss weak midfield get walked through every week I think that's the crux of it. We just lack a tough tackling monster in midfield. Excellent footballing sides can get away without one. We can't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Steve Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 He's only 21. He's strong, positionally good. On another day he'd have buried them. I've seen Bent miss plenty of excellent chances last season. Besides, Dempsey missed an even easier header for Spurs. We were caught out with the flukeist goal of the season and one where weren't covering the full backs. To say our performance is shit is a lie. We were far better for the first 55 minutes. That fluke goal changed the complexion. We could have scored and probably should have. That's football sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheltenham_villa Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 its been a decent performance by us, weve had a couple of chances and pressed spurs well. They have been better though and the goals were almost waiting to happen. Both defensive mistakes that could have been avoided. The first we allowed Defoe to bring the ball down at the back post. second goal Bennet got no where near to lennon and allowed him the shot. Wouldnt say its Lamberts fault, just that Spurs are a better team than us. Vlaars had a good game, other than that defensively weve been poor for 3 seasons now.

8pints Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 We have to organise our defending outside our own box. That's our main problem for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BleedClaretAndBlue Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Didnt we get a few warnings from genk fans that benteke misses a lot of sitters. Cant argue with them after last couple a games. Our squad is shocking, how some people keep saying we'll be fine is beyond me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
