Tottenham Hotspur vs Wigan (Official Match Thread)

i have a funny feeling saha will do fine here

So do I, he reminds me a bit of Defoe, because of his shooting skills, butt with a far better passing and possesion, althought, not as fast. He's kind of a blender mix of Ade and Defoe, but still, not better than each in their expertice area.

In the other hand, Jake did an outstanding performance, again. 98% of Pass Accurracy, covering two differents positions (monster!).

But the thing that surprised me in this match is that; FINALLY! A Rafa corner has been headed!!! And Kaboul headed two corners, last night!!! It was weird to see, but pleasent.

Yes. I thought I would be the only one who noticed.. VDV's crossing was good from corners and kaboom almost scored if it wasn't for a last ditch clearance on the line..

I didn't know having shooting skills meant kicking the ball yet not getting in the net.

Having travelled down from glasgow for the game i was disappointed that we didnt score more and convert out huge possession percentage into much needed goals, once again our keep ball policy almost bit our asses when the wigan numpty missed from the 2 yard line which would have left us with not only egg on face but backs to the wall to win a game that we should have had dead and buried before 30 mins were played.
We are the best footballing side in the EPL but please turn it into GOALS

My fault, not clear enough .

I menat this: Both of them can trigger a dangerous shot, from anywhere near the box, and have the tendency to do it. While don't getting it hit the net.

So, yeah, you can have a great shooting skill, and still don't getting hit the net. I don't understand your surprise and sarcasm; Rafa can illuminate us in this paticular point, because, everytime he has a Freekick, it NEVER hits the net, albeit, we all accord he have great shooting skills.

To be clear: You can have great shooting skills, and still, miss a few. It's logic and seems pretty understandable, to me at least.

Lol @Eduardo , I get what you're saying.

For me though Defoe has always been a power over placement guy and he's done well with it. Can be a bit frustrating sometimes because when it would be much easier just to pass it into the corner or round the keeper he smashes it.

Adebayor, well not as much. He can finish but he's pretty inconsistent with it. I can live with it though, he creates tons of space for Bale, VDV, and Defoe if he plays, even if he doesn't score.

Saha in his Fulham/Man U days was a world class finisher. I watched a YouTube video of him at United and he produced cool finish after cool finish. Most in the corner too. Does he still have it? Not sure. But on his day he's as good or maybe better than Defoe or Ade.

Well, I'm not alone anymore . It's pretty scaring be alone, but, at the same time, incredible refreshing.

I have always rate this tendency from Arry', by using old experienced men to guide. Saha and Gallas have been Champions, and that is pretty important. This is one of the reasons why the Scum went straight down. Wonder kids are just that, kids; they can be strong, skillful, tall, fat, thin, or anything else, but without a prominent (important in their game) figure to lead, they fell down, and still do.
