You wanker.
Valencia over the last season and a half has to be one of THE worst right wingers I've ever seen. Consistently delivers failure.
I feel this too.
Can win it of course, but going to be hard to break down Spurs with a lead to protect. Someone needs to step up. Welbeck perhaps...
I said at the start that Welbz is going to struggle up top. He doesn't like to run in behind and with Spurs' high line, I think the game is more suited to Hernandez.
Oh my.
The green ones are successful passes.
I think I'd rather him play RB than Smalling tbh. Just get someone on the right wing who doesn't smash it into the defenders legs every fecking time.
Agreed there, which is why I think one of Smalling or Valencia can come off for Kagawa. Move Kagawa left wing, and Januzaj right.
Agree, Januzaj was quite poor with his passing today... lost it in the final third a lot and that set them on the counter .
But you still know he's capable of that piece of magic that can produce an assist or a goal.
He's young, but he'll have to improve on this for sure; otherwise it's another Nani waiting to happen.
Moyes seriously doesn't think Fabio would be better than Smalling on the right?
Probably thought Adebayor would get the better of him in the air
It's not funny at all, it's common sense that an 18 year old with bags of talent will get off over a 28 year old winger that can't even cross a ball with both feet.
Maybe you're right, but your username kind of harms your credibility.
"We'll win this."
Where does the optimism come from? We have one tactic, knock it wide and play for corners, and it's shite.

Spurs created 3-4 clear cut chances. We created 2.
We had some good periods of possession but has Lloris had a save to make? there just isn't any real cutting edge, where as Spurs caught us out on the break with Lennon before Adebayor actually scored. Maybe Young on for Valencia in the second half, but I also think Rooney is too deep and it's hurting our play around the edge of the box.
I bet £10 that Valencia will reach something 22-23 unsuccessful crosses by the end of the match.
What clear cut chances did we create? Vidic' header?
Great start but lacking the cutting edge. Our attack play has been poor all year and it seems to me that the same old problem of underperforming wingers/central midfielders is the cause.
will get very messy in the studio if Mcmanaman says "tracks back" many more times
The green ones are successful passes.
We put way too much trust in him as our main delivery source. There's no accuracy or threat coming from his crosses today.
Smalling's chance, at a stretch.
It's not his decisionmaking that's off, he just isn't playing well.
Ok what has cleverly done?? He supposed to be advanced
Midfielder and has created nothing. Only carrick vidic Evans and Rooney deserve any credit. Valencia cannot cross. Welbeck is a fairy and januzai has been poor too
Spurs are there for the taking we need big second half- we really lacking quality in this team the creativity is so poor. Us again we will have to rely on Rooney.

Valencia usually has 1 man to aim for and nobody overlapping. I'm not sure what you want him to do.
Didn't both Smalling and Rooney fire off two shots on goal from decent positions in the box? I know that Smalling did it at least...
The green ones are successful passes.
That's embarrassing. Bébé like.
The green ones are successful passes.
Did he not create the chances for Smalling and Welbeck ,possibly the best chances 1st half.
The green ones are successful passes.
That seems unfair, that pass that put Smalling through was what I'd call completed.
If it's crosses, then I'd suspect most wingers have similarly shocking success rates.
Young For Smalling AT ht
Then Hernanadez with 30mins to go.

Smalling chance and Welbeck one on one.
The moment Clev faces a better than average midfield he starts to hide.
The one time Valencia crossed like a normal person it was actually quite decent (where Dawson cleared ahead of Januzaj). The times he just cnuts it as hard as possible are so easy for Spurs to defend.
Have more than 0 successful crosses out of 12 walsh mate. I know what you mean but still, it's sad to watch. He's escaped his man atleast two times today and still couldn't cross it for shit.
