Hard to fathom this loss to Spurs. Started so brightly yet failed to kill off the match and subsequently fell to a sucker punch. Many chances went begging. The woodwork also came to Spurs' defense at least twice.
This made Harry looked exceptional. Is he? Think he's bold though. Rafa for one was out smarted by the wily old fox. His substitutions early in the 2nd half made all the difference.
Rafa responded by taking off Robbie Keane, putting on Babel. Results? Domination went downhill. Babel failed miserably to lead the line or provide link up play done to perfection by Keane. Benayoun too failed in his role.
The defense were put under pressure and finally cracked.
Thought a more cavalier approach should have done the trick as Spurs were playing 2 strikers towards the end. This is where Rafa failed. His extras too, it must be mentioned.
Hard luck and clearly we missed a certain Spanish hitman. Comeback soon kiddo.

yes..I remember just recently Benitez decided on playing three in defence to go all out to win a match. Wonder what really happened last night. Redknapp got a get-out-of-jail card la..really.
khan, i'm fuming mad too.hardly sleep after the match. Harry got lucky while Rafa chickened out.
The forwards were no hopers. Everybody else outscoring us at the moment. We need Torres back & fast.
K-T, I did not sleep until 10.30 after marketing. So mad I started a blog myself O.o
We definitely need Torres and at least one more striker like him. I shudder to imagine if Torres is sidelined for a longer period, like 2 months in March ke. I don't think babel would be able to stand the pressure of replacing Torres upfront. As for Keane, we will be patient as he is doing a good job at the moment. Maybe I am too pessimistic eh..
aiyaaa... there's more to life than simply thinking about the losing part. Get a grip. I console myself by doingr a shopping spree at IKEA. Effective theraphy, definitely! hahaha....
