There are more questions than answers

Fulham 3 Spurs 3

Had to watch this one on the internet via sopcast. It wasn't a great connection and kept breaking up badly but I will try to piece together what I saw.

Team line-up: Robinson, Chimbonda, Kaboul, Rocha, Lee, Bale, Jenas, Malbranque, Huddlestone, Berbatov, Keane

It only took 10 minutes before new signing Younes Kaboul tapped the ball into the net from close range. Berbatov made it two on 28 minutes when Keane's pass found his head - he nodded it down perfectly into his own path, beat the defender for pace and cooly drove the ball home from the side of the box. Just before half time, Spurs defence (namely Chimbonda) lapsed concentration and they scored with a strong header.

At the start of the second half, Spurs dominated again and managed a third goal courtesy of another new boy Gareth Bale. He took it nicely on the left and could have passed to Berbatov but the shot was on and he converted into the near side of the goal. 3-1 up and cruising. Several other chances came their way through Jenas, Keane and Berbatov but none were taken. Martin Jol then substituted Keano for Defoe, much to his annoyance.

Fulham made Spurs pay and in the last 20 minutes our lads couldn't get the ball. They got another one back and the pressure was really on. The 90 minute mark came and catastophe! A overhead kick by Kamara looped agonisingly over Robbo's outstretched hand and went in the top corner. I honestly couldn't believe what I was watching. AAAAAAAAAAAARRRRGH!

WHY?.......

1)...Did Jol bring off Keano when we were playing well at 3-1 & he was having easily his best game so far? It changed the game & JD hardly touched the ball when he came on.
2)...Is Robbo booting the ball up the field constantly? We always lose it this way.
3)...Was no-one in midfield in the last 20 minutes? Had a lot to do with Keane's substitution I feel. Hudd & JJ were anonymous, Hudd looked knackered.
4)...Was Dawson brought on to add to the defence at 2-3? Surely reinforcing the midfield would have been more appropriate.
5)...Can't Spurs kill off a game when they're cruising?

Robbed of 3 points again - they'll never learn. It's really pissed me off actually - one minute you are happy and singing, the next down in the dumps. Football seriously messes with your head.

Next weekend sees international matches in the Euro qualifiers. England play Israel. So Spurs next game is in two weeks time at Arsenal. Oh goodie!
