Not exactly silencing the 'one man team' critics about Spurs is it this game :eek:

Don't think anyone should give Adebayor more than a 2 month contract, he only bothers trying when he's after a new deal!

The ridiculous thing is Arsenal can be forgiven for not knowing that, but every team he's forced a move to since should know better. That is why buying Adebayor was a massive mistake from the get go, this was always what was going to happen, happened at Arsenal, City, Real and Spurs in so far as, on loan at both he upped his game when trying to get the move, while he hadn't been remotely bothered about his football before the loans.

This is like the umpteeth team in European competition to "give up" and not bother playing while they think they can win, and almost screw it up. Milan didn't bother playing at Barca, got done, Bayern didn't bother playing at home, almost got done, Spurs haven't bothered playing... have given up the biggest league but still "just" in it. Real and Utd both during a game after taking the league stopped playing to win it.

I do understand that motivation in a game where you're so far ahead and the other team was so poor in the first leg is actually a big issue, but its still pathetic and unprofessional and very poor management not to hammer the need for a simple win into the players before kick off. Real/Utd was a different scenario, but both teams attitudes once they went ahead in the tie was horrendous.

The team Spurs picked though, Ade and Defoe, stupid, Walker, again despite being terrible in essentially every game for 2 years, he's just rubbish, completely rubbish. Just a daft team with too many poor or lazy players which is a terrible combination for a game like this. No one should even put Ade on the bench for a game that needs motivation, work rate and concentration.

I've also failed to see Holtby do anything since joining Spurs despite all the talk about enthusiasm and running around a lot, he looks a bit cack.
 
lol, Gallas made a mistake but that whole attack because Parker couldn't pass ahead of Lennon, then Lennon see's a slow ball maybe going out and ignores it while a 39 year old runs to it and keeps it in, that was insanely lazy.

It is hilarious he was being called the best RB last year by people, hes barely a footballer. Anytime he does something good is usually down to his pace alone

The hilarious thing is he couldnt' cross at all and his attacking was mostly rubbish, he scored a couple screamers, all players who shoot a lot and get forward do, he didn't make a habit of it nor look like he can score every game.

In football if you run really fast you're good according to fans(well if its an English player), the fact that he does smeg all after running fast seems irrelevant. He runs forwards, does nothing offensively useful, then he runs back really fast, and does nothing useful defensively... lol. Fullbacks have gone to utter crap in the prem league, Clichy is still decent and Baines is great, Raf is having one good year, the rest bomb forward, try to score, bomb back, foul someone... and then get paid more each year for being crap :(

EDIT:- you have a guy like Ashley cole who attacked very well, but he actually got back for almost every opposition attack AND defended very well when he got back. Its EASY for a fullback to run into the opposition box all game long, any player can do it when they utterly ignore their defence duties and/or are crap if they ever get back. Walker is a pretty rubbish winger playing at fullback, unable to defend and not very good going forwards.

LOL there you go, Adebarndoor finally scores...think that should be it as Inter have to score 2 to go through.

That miss by Cambiasso before ET has cost Inter the tie methinks.
