Thread: Tottenham Hotspur V Wigan Athletic 10/11

The Cryptkeeper's ratings:

Cudicini - 2/10 - good keepers just don't let those sorts of strikes past them. Gomes would have swallowed that. Poor.

BAE - 3/10 - needs to defend first. He is a very good player when he remembers his job. Yesterday he was sloppy.

Dawson - 5/10 - Spurs best. Was solid at the back but hoofs it long when we are chasing the game.

King - 5/10 - Solid game as usual.

Kaboul - 4/10 - Doesn't work well enough with Lennon. Honest game all the same.

Bale - 4/10 - not himself, looked as though he tried to do too much at times.

Huddlestone - 5/10 - ok, needs Modric in the middle to compliment his game.

Palacios - 4/10 - worked hard but is a shadow of the player that joined Spurs. Needs a spell.

Lennon - 5/10 - runs himself into the ground.

Crouch - 4/10 - should be winning more ball in dangerous spots. Ineffective at corners which is a worry.

Defoe - 4/10 - worked hard but it's time to get the operation done now.

Kranjcar - 4/10 - was lively and creative when he came on. Looked like he needed the gallop though.

Dos Santos - 4/10 - needs to play closer to goal to show his talents. He is not a winger, he is a striker.

Pavlyuchenko - 3/10 - this guy is feast or famine. Reckon he is lazy.

Tbh I thought Kranjcar looked the most lively.

And all the voters in the Player of the Season thread (Player's Lounge) would agree with you, Iconic! As did Harry, in his post-match interview!

Bad games happen from time to time. that is my utlimate take on it this game. It reminds me of Stoke last season expect Wigan countered when we had 11 on the field and got the goal. However since i am now free to critize Crouch i will do it here. first off i'm not surpised it only took to Wigan for him to look like a complete donkey again. Lets assume he was "tired" well i didn't check and see if he played for england but if he did then this would have been his 6th game in 3 weeks. HELLO?!?!?! dont' we have 4 very good strikers for a reason?!?!

Also it seemed to me like we forgot how to play normal Spurs ball which is quick slick passes. we seemed to revert back to long ball to crouch and hope he can actually win one of them. However the players also seemed to be speaking 11 different languages for good parts of the game and when that happens you can't really get anything done. Lets just hope we don't have too many more of them. technically we are still in touch with the top 3 as we are within 6 points so just pulling a double off them and we are in the PL lead!!

I need to put it behind me and move on, because I was thoroughly disgusted at the result.....Hopefully we'll turn it around next match.

That result really cost me in fantasy football , at least Roberto Martinez will be secure for this week.

Maybe Harry shouldn't have subbed of BAE at half time because spurs conceded well into the second half. JMO.
