Wolves vs Tottenham - Wed 10th Feb (KO 19.45)
After being held to draws in our last two premier league games, spurs will be hoping to register three points against struggling Wolves on Wednesday.
Increased attention will be on Harry's selections during this game after receiving criticism from some quarters for his substitutions which have failed to turn dominance into 3 points.
Against Birmingham, his decision to take off Defoe and Bentley for the more defensive Keane and jenas only seemed to encouraged Birmingham to press forward for the equaliser they eventually succeeded in getting. He then decided against introducing new signing Eidur Gudjohnsen or the in form Niko Kranjcar against Villa side intent on sitting back.
My view is that Harry was concerned about the threat posedf from Villa's counter-attacking capability but some fans have argued that this goes against the very traditions of our great club. 'To dare is to do' is the cry from fans old enough to appreciate a time when we dared to venture forward resulting in goals 'for' rather than the 'against' I have witnessed in my relatively short period of following spurs.
So against Wolves, even away from home, I join them in the expectation that we press hard for victory. With fellow top 4 contenders Villa and Liverpool facing diffcult games against UTD and Arsenal this will be a golden opportunity for ourselves and City (who play Bolton at Eastlands) to gain an advantage.
Mick McCarthy looked like a man at a funeral after Birmingham snatched victory from under his bent nose on Sunday so you'd imagine desire will be strong but confidence will be low at Molineux.
Playing at home should mean Wolves cannot use the bus they travel in to park in front of goal like they did so successfully when claiming a 1-nil victory at WHL.
Harry will again have to decide between Croatians Kranjcar and Modric on the left as well as Gudjohnsen or Crouch as partner to Defoe up front. One of Kaboul or Bassong should get the nod to replace injured King at the back. BAE and Lennon are close to a return but with Bale and Bentley doing so well in reserve we do not need rush them back as much as first feared.
I haven't seen enough evidence of Kaboul's improved concentration levels to suggest he would be a good partner for Mr 'last ditch' Dawson so I would continue with the very capable Bassong/Dawson partnership. Up front, I would stick with Crouch and Defoe to start the game, however, long-term I feel Crouch is up against it as Gudjohnsen can offer a capable ariel threat as well as greater ability on the ball.
A proper old school fixture, altough Wolves made a welcome return to the top flight this season I reckon we could absolutely tear the arse out of them if we are bold.I can dream.
I read somewhere that Bassong has been carrying a knee injury for sometime now so we may find Kaboul taking his place,I also expect Kranjcar to start this game as Harry tries to keep everyone motivated,and with an eye also kept on Eidurs fitness in recent days I hope he is finally ready for some game time as we could do with some ice cold finishing in front of goal.
Rubbish headline -)
Wolves fan here. It's nice to read comments about this being an old school fixture and us wolves were very excited at being back on the top flight last summer. I've always had a soft spot for Spurs and when we weren't a PL club yours were the results I always looked for in the top flight.
Well, as you can see by the table and our results that things haven't worked out as we'd wished.
If you think Harry makes poor team selections you should see McCarthy's. I fear for us and as his "square pegs, round holes" systems don't work. You're in a good position and you shouldn't worry about not making a top four finish - at least you're an established Premier League club.
Although I'm looking forward to a good game with you lot, I fear the worst for us. I hope we can get the three points but after Sunday against that shower down the road, McCarthy's arrogance and constant tinkering I find it hard to see where our next three points are coming from.
Good luck for the rest of the season.
afraid you can't do winking smilies on here CG.
I honestly think Harry plans to use Gudjohnsen as an attacking midfielder rather than a striker in the same way he used to try and utilise Keane. In which case I don't expect to see him start untill we play ManU, Chavski or the Arse, y'know, when Harry suddenly feels the need to look more defensive 4-5-1 (or 4-4-1-1 depending on how you look at it). With any luck Eidur will get a few sub appearances prior to this....hopefully starting at Wolves when we decide to protect a 0-3 lead.
We need Lennon back sooner, rather than later. The team just doesn't look like scorign without him!
As per usual another s.eason stutters to the inevitable fight for the EUFA cup place rather than the Champions League. Harry talks a good game but I have never thought he had the real football nouse to be a top flight manager. His tactical capability is limited as we have seen in recent weeks, culminating in doing nothing when, once again, we were unable to put a game to bed. Complaing about great goalkeeping and being unlucky are ok for the odd game but when it is happening match after match, something more serious is wrong! Surrounding himself with the "kick it 'ard, kick 'im hard" knowledge of Joe and bag-man Kevin just about sums the deep thinking that goes into our plans and tactics. I hate to say it but Wenger must having a good laugh at Harry's "we will be in the fight for 4th right down to the last. It seems that if Lennon is not available then we are unable to adapt but surely some imaginative substitutions and formations might give us a better chance of turning the tide. The Villa game was set up for Gudjohnson to score a fairytale winner on his debut. Oh well, next year will definitely be our year!!!
Some of the spelling on here is top drawer I obviously include my own cock ups in that. Other peoples make me smile.
MK Yid I reckon youre right about Gudjohnson I do expect him to try and find space in the box sometimes. I really cannot remember how good he was.Chelsea and Barcelona is a pretty good CV.If he plays we should have more possession which will hopefully frustrate Wolves.
its a game we should win because they will hopefully come out and play and we will be too good for them. ........hopefully!
yoda totally agree with you without lennon our goals are drying up.
anyone have any news when he is back? harry said he was getting fit again .
well done to bale again in last game played very well.
coys 3 points minmum against wolves
I think if teams are going to just sit deep and defend we should just get the ball, retreat to our own half and play keepy-uppy untill they come out and play.
Keepy-uppy??? thats an idea if crouch could balance the ball on his head cant he just walk it in??
i said at the transfer window in the summer. We need a out and out left winger. With lennon out and a big slide in goals hopefully we will get aa left winger this summer. Ps Now Ozzie yid. In australia 0-0 draw in texas have moved on.
Devonstu...aka Jetset.Good luck down under.
We don't seem to be having many problems creating chances, it seems putting them away is the problem. Why don't we give a go to our two most clinical finishers up front ie Defoe and Pav.
Because, as Harry says, we can't afford to have 2 strikers who don't work for the ball.
did anyone elsre see that The Scum has us as the 12th (i think) club with the most debt in the prem. It states we are 50mil in debt.is that year on year operating costs which balance out after April ? or is it all shite ?
According to Harry Lennon could be back for the Wigan game in 10 days time and Pav is back in full training.
Nobby, I haven't seen that. It's probably for the money used to buy property around WHL.
If we were not creating chances I would agree that two goal poachers would be a luxury, but Modric, Bale, Bentley and Hudd are all liking well with the strikers and working to win the ball back. I'm not saying Defoe and Pav are the perfect combination but doing the same things with the same people generally gets the same result, ie disappointing draws.
Good shout Alan that would make sense.
crouch has to be a sub, no more than that, we are playing a few long balls to him, after great football build up, hes not needed ,and doesnt play football, either sub , or sell in the summer. hes not good enough for spurs, and most fans will agree with this. i am leaning towards getting rid.
not much of a mention for king these day's???
Considering our main failing is up front we can leave King be for the now...but when that is resolved and we start killing teams off, the King debate will rage again!!
never thought we would be in a position this season where our debating would focus on the striker over any other position infact when has it ever been like this on here???
Well now we have cover for the broken man in defence and the enigma in midfield doesn't get much pitch time so I suppose we can focus our energies on our 1 dimentional striker.
Gudjohnsen is a good move by Harry. We all recognised that Keane wasn't in the form he was prior to his move to Pool. He had to bring someone in that could fill a number of roles (as he made Keane do). Gudjohnsen will certainly work well with the strikers we have. Lets hope he gets pitch time tonight.
Wolves are desperate for a win. hopefully that will mean they at least try and attack. We 'should' be too strong and too good for them.
Just saw this quote.
"This season I am reliably informed that in the 13 league games we (spurs) have drawn or lost, we have had 212 goal attempts, 122 of which were on target, yielding a total of 7 goals."
Not sure how true it is as I don't have time to check it out but it's seems quite startling if true. I doubt Villa have had 122 shots on target in the last three years.
7 goals from 212 goal attempts seems poor to me especially with 122 on target. I dont know what stats other teams produce.
Well we've had at least 3 keepers "play a blinder" at the lane this season. Though I can't help but think it's more down to us not being clinical enough and making it too easy for the keepers. I recently read Harry saying how we just haven't been getting the luck in front of goal, my thoughts are that the best teams don't rely on luck and if we think it's luck that'll get us goals/wins/4th place, then it's not going to happen.
It's like if a striker is out of form, you'd be more worried if they weren't getting the chances. We've dominated some very good sides home and away and at the same time looked pretty solid at the back. I think we're going to thump a side soon. Just my gut feel!
I hope it is tonight.
We're flat track bullies. We'll hammer Wolves out of sight tonight.
There is no doubt we have been having a run of bad luck with penalty decisions, offsides and meeting keepers who play a blinder. If this luck evens out over a season we can expect some dodgy decisions and deflected goals in our favour in the run in. Lets hope it's in games that count and we don't get them all in one game (unless its against Ar5ena1).
What amazes me is that we have the ability to pummel some teams for 90 minutes yet when faced with a top 4 team we can't even seem to stand our ground!
As for giving a side a sound beating soon...we've got Wigan coming up!!
It is a worry MK. I thought we had crossed that bridge last year with a few draws but the old mentality has crept back in. If we could beat the goons on 10th April we might get a bit of confidence for the following two games. If not....
still cant believe that shower of shite beat us at home even if we knocked 10 past them it wont erase that memory but if that twat mccarthy was to have a pitch side stroke after bemoaning our tenth goal then that would be enough.
If we genuinely want to get into the top 4 and ultimately the Champions League we need to compete with those already there, and by compete I mean, really give them a match. We need to want to beat them...to believe we can beat them, because anything else is settling for second best.
Thats it MK. when we drop points against the lesser teams there is really no way of getting them back but when its the likes of chelsea and man united they no they will beat the teams challenging them.
Spot on MKYid we need to be able to compete for the Prem title in order to get Champs League as 2nd 3rd 4th are only consolation to the teams who were competing for the title. Liverpool have had a very poor season by there standards yet are sitting in 4th.
Who would you guys play tonight (or any) out of Modric and Kranjcar? Kranjcar seemingly scores more goals but Modric covers more ground?
It's a tough one Alan. I'd always want Modric in my team but we are lacking goals. I'm glad it's not my decision. Could we put Krancjar on the right and leave Bentley out?
I feel having two midfielders who like to cut in from wing positions leaves us too narrow so I would only play that if we were playing short strikers. He's not tried with Kranjcar in the middle in place of hudd for games against lesser sides. At home it could give us a more attacking edge?
Thats tough kranc was dropt when on fire for modric which for me was a poor mistake from harry modric should have been blead back in slower but now for me kranc has dropt of the pace and we now have two average players at the moment, the same will happen to bentley and bale??? bale and bentley are rolling at the moment, it will take bae and lennon a few games to get going again and like the modric kranc situation it will cost us points!!!
I hope Bale continues ahead of BAE for now. BAE is probably the better defender but Bale is learning fast. I am just worried Lennon is coming back not fully recovered. Hernia injuries (according to my sad google searches) only fully heal with surgery with physio work only providing a short term fix. Ordinarily, most players would wait until the summer but it's hard to believe Lennon would miss the world cup for us.
What would you rather, Lennon has op now and goes to the world cup or plays to the end of the season and misses world cup. I like the player and would hate him to miss a once in a lifetime chance to play on the biggest stage. Then again, if he got us to 4th spot... I cant seem to make my mind up today.
I would take him playing for us but I would leave the decision to him. England can have bentley in return!
I think Lennon will know that he has to play for Spurs to get a starting spot for England. something that Capello has done well is to play players who are starters for their club.
Good for England and good for us if it means Lennon gets back playing soon
What the f is that team, Jenas and Bently, No Wilson, no Modric. Thats why we're one down. Does 'Arry have money on us not getting 4th?
game showing anywhere
Watching a live stream, got it from the Spurs Mad site. Kaboul in for Charlie.
Losing AGAIN to Wolves!! Dear oh dear... Same old Spurs.... Grrrr!
To many changes. Bring Wilson and Modric on.
Alfie man. You are right. Harry has must have money on us finishing outside top 6. Problem: We are creating loads of chances but not taking any. Solution: Change the midfield so we don't create anything. PLONKER
Whatever the reason for our lack of goals, it certainly isn't Wilson and Modric.
Look at the stats, not even dominating possession. He has to change it early or we will lose this one.
Has got to be worst half of our season. Both decisions to have Kaboul as RB and Jenas in the middle have back-fired. We look disjointed and weak. Wolves are there for the taking and we have given them a helping hand. I don't understand this line-up at all.
Wilson on for Jenas, thank f for that.
well 4th place looks a million miles away at the moment
Looking better, but i'd still prefer Modric
According to Harry we could finish 3rd!
Can't see it happening, 70% of possession, not creating one chance.
Has Hahnemann had 1 save to make? Feckin atrocious for all our possession
Fuck sake - Huddlestone couldn't strike a match!
we are shit
it doesn't matter who Harry selects.....ny 11 should be beating fecking Wolves.
4th place gone I fear
any 11
Right, lets stop bigging up Bently, he is average, he might be able to kick the ball in a skip, but he can't beat a defender and his crosses rarely threaten. The Waffen SS look a like showed why it would have been pointless bringing him on against Villa. How must Pav feel? How must Modric feel, the most talented creative player we have?
Our defence is already young and Naive at present, why make it more so? Charlie, whatever we think of him, is an experienced defender.
Does anyone know our stats from set pieces, do we ever score from them? Wouldn't even bet on us coming 6th on that performance, what with Everton coming into form. This was a let down on par with our performance at Liverpool, I think it is a mixture of 'Arrys management and the ability of our squad. Whatever, we should always play our strongest team. Lennon, please hurry up back.
The manager has to take a lot of stick for this loss, as he clearly got it wrong with some of his selections, 1. Kaboul at RB when he's a centre half, 2. Jenas starting only to be brought off at half time, good one Harry, you obviously realised you fu ked that one up! But I can see why he started with Gudjohnsen because Crouch has been average at best of late, the bottom line is no Lennon no pace no attacking threat no champions league. We've been poor since he's been injured and we look void of any ideas. Same old spurs.
ABS why Gudjohensen ahead of Pav? The SS man is over the hill, can't get a game for Monaco, how come he walks straight into our first 11?
boring boring Tottenham. What a load of shite! is it me or is defoe acting like a sulking child?? has harry got a disable badge cos that cuuunt never gets up and coaches from the touch line fuuucking bagpuss!! Bolton will beat us.
jenas plays we lose or draw -not a coincidence .
I cannot believe wolves have done the double over us - how bad is that.
pathetic.
I agree but Pav has only just come back from injury so is not match fit so I can see why he started with Gudjohnsen.
Its unfair to have too much of a pop at arry. He did save us from relegation last year but you have to say our form over the last few games has been poor. I think it shows how much we miss Lennon. He gets the rest of the team playing.
bye bye 4th. see you later 5th. nice knowing you 6th. at this rate the spammers will finish ahead of us again. it's not too late though. wake up harry and play your best 11 from now on.
Wolves ffs. it shouldn't matter who plays in our 11.....Wolves don't have any better players.
If we want to challenge the top 4 we have the win against the shite sides
It's all about the attitude you bring onto the pitch. If the manager rests the two best players, Modric and Palacious, this tells the rest of the team that this is going to be an easy game. This is the wrong attitude. And it comes from the Manager. Harry messed up. It's not a sackable offese but he must learn.
Harry will be sacked in the summer!!

One woman in bed was never enough for me. I was the type of man that always demanded the attention of two women in bed at the same time. Of course none of my girlfriends could accept that. It might have seemed fun at the beginning of the relationship when I enthusiastically invited another woman to join our adventure, but very soon jealousy would step in and I was then scolded or requested to meet the conventional ways of only sleeping with one woman. I guessed that was the reason why I found it so hard to have a girlfriend. I had not been in a stable relationship for two years now, and I was content to stay this way especially after I discovered the wonderful service of duo escorts. I always went for the hot lesbian duo escorts, they were fun, sexy, adventurous and horny for each other, which was a bonus. It was a real turn on to watch them eating each other up, and I had actually learnt a few tricks on how to please women from them...
