Daily News & Analysis of the English Premier LeagueTottenham 1-2 Aston Villa: Don’t Blame The Loss On Scapegoat Gomes
Started by The Gaffer · 9 months ago
In British newspaper match reports of Aston Villa’s 2-1 away win against Tottenham Hotspur, almost all of the stories lead with sentences similar to this one found in The Sun: “Calamity keeper Heurelho Gomes messed up to leave Spurs rooted at the foot of the table.&%

Modric and Bent both need to grow a pair and Zokora should be banished from playing in lilywhite.

What Spurs needs is someone to inject some grit into the squad and to get fired up when the chips are down. While I agree with you that John Terry is hardly a model captain, Spurs are in need of someone with his balls-to-the-walls energy. Screaming at Petr Cech last Saturday was a good example.
Someone should be doing the same thing to the back four to keep them in line.

I've followed modric for years since he starred for Zagreb v Arsenal in UCL qualifying, and his best position is up close like a number 10 to the strikers. He likes to play in that little hole playing his delicate passes and shoot. I've seen him play way too deep at times for spurs.
The real missing ingredient in my opinion is the defensive midfield position. Zokora played his best game against Chelsea but has been useless (and that's not being harsh) for Spurs since he has signed. His been found missing in action countless times. Add to the mix Dawson is shambles, King who is a great defender cant get himself fit and they still havent signed a good enough left back (gilberto? assou?) well you can tell why defensively they have problems. Bale is a phenomenal talent and he has done reasonable well playing at left back. He has a big physique, technically very good which means he can play in various positions. I dont think Ramos has found him his best position.

i disagree with your assesment of Ramos though. I think his response is appropriate. He's not ready to hit the panic button just because of a few reporters/pundits/fans calling for wholesale changes and sounding doom all around. There are plenty of points still to be had and he knows it'll take a while for the squad to gel.
I also agree with Michael that John Terry should not be the standard for captains. You want someone who has experience and is a calm head in the midst of a storm. I think Woodgate has that potential and no one else on Spurs jumps out as a natural replacement at the moment, maybe Huddlestone in the long term view?
