Good game between Man Utd and Tottenham, tottenham showed their lack of ambition today. I mean they didn't even want to win this game, if they're planning on raiding the top 4 anytime soon, they'd have to drastically change their mentality.



Modric was class today, easily the best player on the pitch, he just didn't have enough support from his teammates, Lennon gave Rafael a hard time too. Berbatov was by far the worst player in the game, i can't for the life of me comprehend how he was allowed to play 90 minutes.





Could you predict the same for Milan?
Milan will lose tommorrow, mark my words ;)

You think so? I only watched the last 35 minutes or so and he seemed somewhat lost on the pitch, the Manc were crushing them. I don't like the way Redknapp is using him, just behind the striker, he needs to play deeper. Be in contact with the ball as much as possible, not wait on 20m for someone to pass it to him.

Lennon was great from what little I saw, I always liked that player, fast as hell. Simply a nightmare to mark.

Gomes was the surprise package, made some crucial saves.

Well thats just it really,they were more focused on avoiding relegation & improving on their position in the table.Credit must be given to Redknapp for turning things around.

Thank You.:D

Of course he deserves credit for turning things around. But he has that English mentality, you know, they're all scared to attack the big four. With the players he has at his disposal, he should have been going for the win.

Very true but in all fairness this isnt exactly "his" team,once he has the players he'd like at his disposal he can be judged.Although i do agree with the quality they have,they should have more desire to conquer the big four.

Modric didn't see much of the ball in the last 25 minutes or so, but when he got the ball on his feet he always threatened to make an opening. In the first half he was fantastic.

Lennon's good, but he's a bit one dimensional.

Meh,average game so far.

BTW if ManU can start a 18 year-old in their back-four,why can't we just throw in let's say Iago,damn it!Rafael loos pretty talented though.
because they have very reliable three players to support him, i dont think we have that.

I am talking about the back line, not the whole support structure to the backline not specifically about Iago.
They can't be compared to the Manu one at least.
If you have Evra, Vidic, and Ferdinand you can get away with playing a Da Silva or Evans on the right?

Brave game West ham played against Chelsea today. Scott Parker, that other kid in midfield and Bellamy all had great games today.

The league is getting more and more competitive, i don't remember a season where all the big four kept losing points like this.
