Arse Spuds

Well that was bloody scrappy. 2-2 at wigan, not exactly a top 4 result, but hey, its spurs we are talking about, what did you expect? I try to think of an individual that really stood out for me, but it is hard. Dembele was looking good until he picked up that knock early on. Huddlestone was consistent but not consistently brilliant, good passing overall but nothing that really impressed me. Walker started of brilliantly but then faded in the second half. And Bale, very well played in the first goal, a very strangle goal but never the less important, but other than that I was disappointed, he hung to deep and didn't get involved as much as we have come to expect. Maybe he is still playing with a slight injury, he did say he was playing through the pain barrier last week at Manchester City. 

We had a few good chances in the first half that we should have put away which I am sure would have put Wigan to bed. What is it with wigan? I cant get my head around it. I was at the home game earlier in the season playing them and we had no tempo, no pace, no desire and ended up loosing 0-1. And then it was repeated again, we couldn't put the game to bed in the first half and as soon as Wigan upped there game in the second half we didn't know what to do. We can completely outplay Man City, on paper arguably the best team in England costing millions of ponds but against Wigan, a very small club struggling to compete in the premier league we seem short of ideas? And this is with Holtby, Huddlestone, Bale, Lennon, all outstandingly creative players on the pitch. Then we have clinical finishers in Bale and Defoe and Dempsey's knack of scoring goals that we don't see coming, and we are still short of ideas.

However, there is no need to worry. I think that our champions league place is still in our hands, If Arsenal loose tomorrow which I expect they will we can finish above them by winning our remaining games, which wont be easy but it is doable. I think the footballing gods really want the Chelski game to be as crucial as possible for us which It looks set to be now. 

Maybe AVB has finally realised that Adebayor is a waist of space, he started defoe instead at the weekend and Ade wasn't even benched. And i have heard no word of injury, maybe this is a sign that Adebayor has played his last game for us? We will all find out soon enough...
