He's been getting better each game and he and Huddlestone make a great partnership. He runs around non-stop, but also plays some decent stuff and rarely loses the ball, mainly because he gives it to Hudd and lets him casually spray it wide to someone with a pass he shouldn't have been able to make.
Hudd's long range passing pisses over anyone else in the league. What's more incredible is he can do it with both feet! As for Jake, glad to see he's getting better, being a local lad everyone here at Spurs really wants him to succeed but with the CM's we have here it makes it so hard for him. The determination he's shown has been fantastic though, supposedly a lot of coaches wrote him off as basically a non-talent yet he proved them all wrong and good on him.
Its a good combo this, on paper, although i've seen little of Hull so far this season. Hudd really needs a fast paced workaholic to play along side him.
Yeah it's the right thing to do when you have a great passer who's slow getting around. Juve do similar with Pirlo. Vidal and Marchisio do the "dirty work" and Pirlo runs ****.
I think he was just too excited to be playing for Spurs, shame as would have been great to have him with the squad but better for his career to be at Hull, He does all of Hudds running... Perfect LOL
Did we ever try Hudd with Livermore? It does seem like a sensible pair. I seem to recall we often played Hudd with Parker, and the two of them would promptly get into a fistfight over who got to play in the spot they both preferred. Of course we did try Hudd with Carroll an amazing three or four times (including an exhibition against Liverpool). It was balanced in the sense that neither one protected the back four for opposite reasons: Hudd because he was too big and Carroll because he was too little. Not to sound critical...
Will be interesting to see how Hull get on. In spells they played really well against Chelsea, City, Everton and Newcastle. Haven't had the easiest starts by any means but better to get these tough aways out the way. They're capable of getting a result but it's unlikely given how well Spurs now defend.
Agree with SOS's team. Is rose definitely available? If not, Verts to be moved to LB and chiriches to come in again. Hopefully we'll start to see the football flow a bit better this week if Lennon is back. He made an instant impact on Sunday, IMO.
I think reports said he was due to be back this week so hopefully he'll be good to play. If not then like you say, stick Vlad in and move Jan to LB - unless Kaboul is fit? Yeah I too really hope the football picks up a bit, with Norwich and the Europa's aside, most of our performances have been pretty dull.
We're playing really well at the moment, we just lack a really effective strike force, Aluko is really talented but isn't an out and out striker. Any chance you can loan us Defoe?
Haha sorry mate we love JD here (or at least most of us do!). If you guys are looking to loan a good up and coming striker, Harry Kane is a player who could add something - probably a lot more than Graham at present! He desperately needs Prem experience, can play either as a front man, second striker or recently featured on the left as a sub against Cardiff and played there against Villa in the cup and done pretty well. Always gives 100% and works well for the team, had an impressive performance for the England U-21's recently, bagging a hat trick. Or maybe Adebayor? He done amazing for us when on loan but then became a waste of space after signing a perm deal. Though his wages would be hefty!
Many Spurs fans are predicting a Spurs goal-fest and a massive trouncing of Hull, but I am going to be a bit more cautious than that and go for a Spurs 0 v 4 Hull win.
I reckon that needs a bit of explaining? Us losing 4-0 at home to Hull is no one's definition of cautious.
I'm guessing one or two will probably leave in January but if it's a striker I assume it would be Ade would be first out of the door. Defoe's getting enough games, I reckon. Doubt we'd loan Defoe either, if he wants to go Levy will sell him.
