I’m not sure I enjoyed that.
Fifteen minutes of public humiliation followed by having to watch a loved one emerge from a coma.
It gives me no pleasure to refer to my last blog and mumble under my breath, I told you so. This is a territory usually occupied by w*ankers. But the reality is, whatever Arry’s tactical intentions were or were not, the weakest element in the equation was undoubtedly Tottenham’s defense.
Here are my ratings. Tell me yours.
Gomes 2
Was it a penalty? Yes it was. Daft challenge. Amateur night from the Octopus.
Hutton 3
Looked unfit. Off the pace and … Hungover?
Gallas 3
I overlooked his murky past as he was a top notch footballer. I was done. Anonymous. Again.
Bassong 3
Another Invisible Man. Not the required standard.
A&E 5
He did little wrong, he was simply outplayed.
Azza Blud 6
A game where duff crosses cost the most. He’s not on form.
Jenas 6
Not a bad shift. I may be coming close to giving him a break.
King of the ball watchers.
Bale 10
He scores 3 when we’re 4-0 down. Bar turning water into wine, what more could he have done?
Modders – beyond me why he was the one to come off. Should have been Hudd.
Crouch 4
Just didn’t achieve anything.
Palacios 5
Efficient but no huge impact
Keane 5
Another not very super sub.
Cudicini 6
What a horrible game to be hurled into.
