spurs v chelsea carling cup final

[Hairydude]

spurs played brilliant today!they took it straight to chelsea even when chelsea got the first goal there heads never dropped.
very pleased that spurs won but felt abit sorry for o'hara,he's played alot of games this year after signing from millwall and has had a brilliant season so far.suprised ramos left him out.

He looked well gutted...boyhood heroes, not won a trophy in a while, chance to play in spurs biggest game of the decade-feel sorry for him not to have even made the bench

Although O'hara has played a few games for us this season. This is only because of the injuries to Ekkto and Bale. O'hara is definitely not good enough for us.

not shown that form consistently?

He isn't that good. Once Bale and BAE are fit, along with Gilberto, I can see O'hara being sold in the summer; as he has absolutely zero chance in being a 1st team regular.

[FRIDAYS]

O'Hara should have played at left back instead of Chimbonda!!!! Chimbonda's attitude just isnt good enough !

[Karabiner]

WPGG spuds, you deserved it.

[boldie]

Well done Spurs.

I can't believe people think playing Lampard was a good idea..he did nothing for Chelsea all afternoon...John "Stab you in the back" Terry was OK but nothing more than that. In fact Chelsea were piss poor the entire match..there was never anything even remotely interesting happening.


lol@ playing 433 with Anelka on the wing...didn't Mourinho get the sack for playing boring footie?

Spurs definetly deserved to win the game but it was a very boring match as one of the teams simply didn't show up.

I agree, I think Grant got it wrong with this. Either play 442 with Anelka up top with Drogba or 451/433 with J Cole and SWP either wing.


PMSL Ashley Cole didnt even make the bench.

I also don't like to see players who have played round after round on the way to the final then dropped when it gets to the big game

Team after team does it, this time the likes of Alex, Ben Haim, Sidwell and Sinclair were nowhere to be seen whilst the big names were ushered in

Anelka, in particular looked v v sulky out on the wing

The incredible sulk was certainly living up to his name.  I don't see the point of sticking him out wide and leaving Cole on the bench.  Made no sense, and certainly didn't work.

All the managers seem to do it though.  Rafa plays players out of position regularly.  Grant did it yesterday.  Maureen did it often, and even resorted to Huth up front on a few occasions as a sub, and Geremi at right back (very unsuccessfully).  Not sure if Wenger does it too often though, but Fergie has used Rooney out of position, and I'm sure Alan Smith wasn't used in his best position by him.   Sven did it with the England team all the time.

They know more than I do, so who am I to say it's wrong ?

[Colchester Kev]

Was Anelka playing ??  I never noticed.

huth was only put up front in emergency if we were losing and needed a target man late in a game, i dont recall it happening on many occasions.

as for geremi at right back i actually feel he played some of his best gaames for chelsea in that position.

i agree though that joe cole wide would have been a far more better option than playing anelka there
