Shame it wasn't Bale's arse it went in off

Can really do with Spurs dropping points here, if we lose tomorrow gap would be 6 points if they win, pretty big margin especially with some of the aways we have coming up

It what happens when you draw at home to Aston Villa.

Not for me.

Their central midfield is far better on and off the bench (Dembele, Sandro, Parker, Holtby to our Gibson, Neville, Osman). They've a better back 4 minus Baines (Dawson, Gallas, Vertongaan, Walker, Naughton, Caulker to our Distin, Jagielka, Distin). Also got more creativity (Lennon, Bale, Dembele, Dempsey, Holtby to our Pienaar and Mirallas).

They have been in the top 4 twice in 3 years going for a 3rd.

They can't play them all at the same time though, can they?

Which is why, 1-11, I think we're better but squad wise, they are.

He said starting eleven mate. We have a better starting eleven overall. Without Bale they're not all that.

 

[bluejock]

Not a hope any of their centre halfs are better than Jagielka either.

Even then, I'm not too sure.

All I'd keep is Fellaini, Baines and Jagielka over their first 11.

Spurs's defence isn't good at all.

Did they carry on unbeaten without Bale when he was injured for a month with a hamstring?

Ours aint a fortress either to be honest.

I seem to remember us doing pretty well without Baines. What's your point ?

it is, its just that Heitinga keeps Benedict Arnolding the place up

Lennon over Mirallas? Holtby over Gibson? I probably wouldn't have either centre half over Distin either. Picking an XI from both teams, I'd go

[CENTRE]Lloris

Walker Jagielka Distin Baines

Mirallas Gibson Parker Bale

Fellaini

Defoe[/CENTRE]

Which means the "they aint all that without x player" is a moot point.

No. No it doesn't.

Just because a team wins some games without their only world class player doesn't mean they're a top side without him. They're not.

I wouldn't even have Walker over Coleman, Walker has been gash this season according to Spurs fans.
