Finally brought myself to writing something about Wednesday night.
Can't remember ever having a great record against Spurs but thought we'd at least give them a game on Wednesday. How wrong can you be.
Going in to the game I really didn't expect Robinho to get a start. We all know that Lennon can be a terror on the wing and it doesn't take a tactical genius to know that Sylvinho is going to need a little help, but alas Robinho get's the start and along with the equally disinterested Adebayor is neither use nor ornament. Even when the ineffective Robinho is taken off (and shuffles straight off down the tunnel?) we puff and pant to get back in the game while Spurs just banged it to Crouch (who won everything in the air...something Dunnie usually stopped by hook or by crook or sneaky nudge) or give it to Lennon and see goal opportunities created at an alarming rate.
The loss of Wright Phillips and Bellamy and the devastating effect it has on the team is there for all to see. Weiss never got a look in and we're easy pickings for a 'no great shakes' Spurs team.
Wrong...all wrong!
