Feeling the heat now, Jol?
After watching Tottenham play their 2nd match of the season, the most realistic target for Spurs in the league would be a top 7 finish. Although, It can be said that the season is still long way to go, the competition has been much more competitive since then. Teams like Everton, Man City, Newcastle and perhaps Reading looked awesome at some point during the opening matches.
I was awake this morning, 3am… to root for my favourite English team…Spurs. Well, within 3 minutes they’ve already conceded a goal from set-piece. This has been the teams weak point as long as I remember. Anyway wasn’t really expecting much from the game, I thought they would at least draw instead they lost 3-1. Well, some might say the score kind of flatter Everton a bit but I would say they deserve the win thoroughly simply because the played as a team, they marked very well, played effective passes and their defence was outstanding. I can only wish my team can play like that.
Whatever happens I don’t blame the players but I’ve been saying all this while, the manager is just not good enough. I’ll tell you why, earlier this season, he already dig he’s own grave by saying that this is the time for them to break into the top 4. Secondly, why do you need to spend ₤16.5 million on a player just to start him from the bench during the 1st game and played him for 65mins during the 2nd game. The team clearly lacks balance on the left side. Two seasons ago, the argument was Spurs did not have aerial targets but since then, this season we have a few players who are good in the air yet, there is no delivery. Malbranque who was played out of position on the left constantly had to cut in just to get a cross in with he’s right leg. The end result would be a simple cross for the superb Everton defence to clear.
For me now, bad results are just blessings in disguise. I will still root for the team whenever I can. I just hope that Martin Jol will get the boot as soon as possible. I am 110% damn f’ksure our Malaysian pundit, Shebby Singh will agree with this.
Spurs forever,
