Revenge is so so Sweet! What a roller coaster of a game, both sides looked edgy at the back and a game like this was almost inevitable. The first half was a strange one, Spurs played in unfamiliar fashion in comparison to recent games, they invited the pressure on and didnt attack convincingly or enough. West Ham accepted the invitation and scored two goals despite not having many chances. Green was heroic in goal and robinson was very poor for the goal from Tevez. The second half, spurs went forward like in recent games and they scored 2 goals, so we take the pressure back off the hammers score again. We need to learn that we need to gain confidence to continue applying the pressure. We sit back and invite it, other teams will punish us. Taarabt made a difference on his debut and he looks a tidy player, didnt lose the ball once and ran with it almost half the pitch and won the free kick. And Berbatov scores another world class goal, talk about him another time, amazing! Being a spurs fan, you would think we will sit back, but Jol already used the subs and we had an attacking formation, so we score, great, spurs win when we attack, nothing else full stop. West Ham must be wondering what they have to do to win? They could try the olde lasange trick again, or was that too last season. Player Ratings Robinson: 5 - His postional sense was worrying at times, the defence were not organised so you could blame him for that Chimbonda: 6 - Ok, decent Dawson: 7 - Not at fault for any goals, defended ok Gardner: 4 - Whats this guy in the team for after Rocha last week Lee: 6 - Ok Lennon: 6 - Not giving enough for my liking, too predictable, better 2nd half Jenas: 6 - Started terribly, average elseware Tainio: 6 - Wasnt the same without Zokora, better when attacking, good goal Ghaly: 5 - Not good enough for the prem, sorry Defoe: 6 - Not happening for him Berbatov: 8 - Class subs: Huddlestone: 7 Stalteri: 7 Taarabt: 8
Game of the season! This match had everything. Well done to Tottenham for winning in as they looked in bad positions twice in the game, when they were 2-0 down and 3-2 down but somehow they still won it. I think now west ham are going down. They played well but the mountain is now massive for them to climb. Unlucky Hammers.
