Thought we deserved that today, excellent from Guthrie and (Perch) in the middle, Colo had Bent in his pocket and Krul was awesome once again. Ba looked tired but Cisse hit the ground running and looked very sharp.
 
Great from Krul, Colo, Guthrie, Perch & Cisse.

MOTM - Guthrie

Williamson & Santon did well too. In fact the only player who played badly was Oberhead.
 
obertan is bound to make mistakes the way he plays but atleast he's learnt to track back and he's tackling alot more, its great, he releases counter attacks well as the defenders seem to be weary of his pace, perchinho was also a tackling machine today, didn't give anyone an inch, overall the performance was good and double demba will devistate tottenham, wolves then ......OOOOOOH MACKEMS OOOH OOOH OOH OOOOHHH
 
Guthrie was immense today, really growing as a player and actually seems better when he's not alongside Cabaye.

Colo, Willo and Krul amazing but that's really just consistent for them.

But the biggest praise aside from the double Dembas is for Perch and Obertan.

They get a silly amount of stick on this forum but Perch was brilliant and although Ober's end product needs LOTS of work, he was defensively superb.
When he came on for Raylor I said he has to track back and also carry the ball up the pitch – which he did very well.

I just hope we haven't lost Raylor for the season because another who has looked a 'worldie' this season...
 
"Colo had Bent in his pocket"
coud of had 3 with better finishing or without the 2 decent saves and a good block. Bent's movement was excellent to get the chances.
Steady all round team performance.
 
We played well, and in Papiss Demba we've a great looking forward and goalscorer. The guy's a class act - he can pass, he can see a pass and he doesn't go all gooey in front of goal.
With Cabaye and Tiote back into the side we'll have a pretty strong side to take even a top 7 finish.
