I watched this one on the internet and it was one of those games where not a lot happened. No pretty football, not much get-up-and-go and the first half came and went without anything to write home about. Dawson unfortunately went off injured much to the distaste of Juande Ramos it seemed; he was replaced by Kaboul. Woody was suspended for one game.
The second half wasn't much better. O'Hara substituted Boateng from the off who had had an awful game. Somehow Spurs managed to scrap out a win Chelsea-like with three goals - a flattering scoreline really, considering how they played. The match brightened up when Berbatov came on for Bent, who once again, was non-existent. This scares me slightly because when Berbatov isn't there next season (I'm 95% certain of that) the team doesn't have the same creativity and vision going forward, and someone who can hold up the ball. Still, the summer will be a time for quite a bit of change I feel, where Ramos is concerned. He has a reputation to uphold with the amount of trophies he's already won with other clubs.
The thing that mattered the most today was securing the three points without a doubt. The gap is lengthening between us and Newcastle and closing with West Ham. We have to get into the top half of the table SOON! Next stop: Prague in the UEFA Cup.
