Now things have calmed down

After a sensational game yesterday, a history making one, we now need to look forward and onto Blackburn, who are certainly a bogey team for us.

Although yesterday was just class, and showed we can score goals of sorts, I am still worried about our season.

Best yesterday in the second half was much better, but I still don't rate him, but believe he and Ranger should start next week as Lovenkrands is also rather useless. Ranger changed the game.

I will once again take a point as we are away from home, and any point is a luxury at this point in the season.

Lets just hope we take the confidence from the second half, a team that battered Arsenal, and put it into another hard game away at Blackburn and hopefully come away with 3 points.

What's everyone's thoughts on next weeks game?

 

Oh ye of little faith!

We'll slaughter Blackburn!

 

Its a tough place to go, just like Fulham so i will be more than happy with a point

 

Looking forward to next weeks game. I thoroughly believe that after yesterdays amazing comeback, we'll have a great fighting spirit and will be going into the game all guns blazing, and hopefully claim all 3 points.

Also think Ranger should get a lot more play time. But I still think he's an impact sub at the minute until he can find that composure in front of goal.
He was immense yesterday, which is one of the many positives to take from yesterdays game. Arsenal couldn't cope with him. Fast, strong, and I very much look forward to seeing more of him play.

I'm in two minds about Lover. He's got good attitude, and when he wants to he can apply himself to the game very well. Maybe a bit too much of a slow approach to the game though. Think he works a good partnership with Best though. Better than Best/Ranger. Think there's just too much inexperience there. Lover brings experience to his game, we can't forget that.

I'm going for Best/Lover to start. With *hopefully* Ranger coming on early in the second half.
Really really want him to grab a goal!!!

 

Any news whether the injury list will be shortened by then? We're looking really thin atm

Looks like our hands are tied. Ranger-Lover unless we go 4-5-1 (or sign Ewerthon).

 

See Pavlyuchenko has said he wants to leave Spurs as he's sick of being on the bench... Think a cheeky loan bid til the end of the season wouldn't go amiss, surely he could walk into our front line at the moment?!

 

We have broken our bad runs away from home this season, example Arsenal and Wigan

I don't see why we can't do It again against Blackburn, I agree on Best and Ranger hopefully they don't be as useless as they were against Fulham..

And I noticed when Barton moved to the right the game completely changed! He has to be always on the right




Howay the lads!!!

 

wish my head would calm down

like you i don't rate best either but unfortunately he's all we've got i'd much rather see ranger play from the start as he's a handfull
one more thing who'd have thought we'd have got 4 points off arsenal this season and what a goal by tiote

 

In the Prem, you can't loan players outside the transfer window. Either way, Redknapp wouldn't want him to leave. I'd rather have Ewerthon.
