Ce repriza a facut Pavyluchenko. Mi-a placut Prince Boateng care merita sa fie in lotul mare. Defoe-Pavly, atacul nostru. Gomes-Corluka/Hutton, King, Bassong, Ekotto- Lennon, Hudd/Jenas, Palacios, Modric-Defoe, Pavyluchenko.

Behrami e cel mai norocos

[messi19]

am inteles ca martin o'neill pregateste o oferta pt bentley si jenas.daca ii dam pe astia 2 la villa si il luam de acolo pe young si il mai aducem si pe sissoko ala de la toulouse parca am arata mai bine .cu lennon-palacios-hudd(sissoko)-young dar ori ar sari din schema modric si sa jucam cu un singur varf...ceea ce nu ar fi bine...ori sa joace cu lennon-palacios-modric-young si cu doi atacanti

[miril]

Ultima varianta pare mai buna. 'arry a dat de inteles ca intentioneaza, totusi, sa-i dea o sansa lui Bentley, gandindu-se ca respectvul va centra ca pe vremuri sa i le puna pe cap lui Crouch. Ma rog, vom trai si vom vedea. COYS!

[Sir. Eko]

Nu il da Aston Villa pe Young ,nici vorba ,iar cei de la Toulouse au cerut o caruta de bani pentru Sissoko .Modric e printre cei mai buni jucatori de la voi(poate cel mai bun) ,cum sa fie` sarit din schema`?

[messi19]

AHHH...acolo am scris aiurea.era ori ar fi sarit modric din schema.ori am juca cu un singur varf si cu el mai avansat .
stiu ca nu il scoate din echipa...numai ca mi-am amintit de el cand scriam echipa si nu am mai schimbat .
pe sissoko cica ar da asta 15,5 mil de lire.cam e o caruta destul de mare deja pt toulouse

[miril]

Eu cred ca Harry stie ce vrea, vrea sa iuteasca jocul. Cei doi il incetinesc. Macar la Hudd alearga balonul. Va juca cu doua varfuri in deplasare, Crouch fiind unul dintre ei, acasa poate joaca 4-3-3, cu Keane mai retras. Sissoko este o necunoscuta pentru majoritatea, plus ca-i vorba de Premier League. E drept ca jucatorii francezi, ma rog, malez sau cum se spune, s-au adaptat in general foarte bine, dar respectivul are doar 19 ani. Trebuie ca este un talent exceptional, altfel este plin de risc sa platesti o caruta de bani, chiar si in varianta cu 15,5.

[miril]

Am dat trei goluri la... Nationale. Doua JD si unu Pavly. COYS!

[miril]

Super Harry, un om cu capul pe umeri. COYS!

Bravo, baietii! Victorie meritata dupa o prima repriza excelenta si o a doua echilibrata. COYS!

What a start!

Season 2009-10 kicked off in perfect fashion with a 2-1 opening day victory over title contenders Liverpool at The Lane.

Sebastien Bassong was the hero on his full debut, heading home the winner on 58 minutes just over a week after joining from Newcastle.

It came just moments after a Steven Gerrard penalty had cancelled out Benoit Assou-Ekotto's memorable opener - his first Spurs goal and definite Goal of the Season contender already!

Victory gave us our first opening day three points in four years, meaning excitement about the coming campaign could not be any higher after the first game.

In recent weeks there had been all the build-up and discussion among fans that one would expect at this time of year, like who would make Harry Redknapp's starting eleven for the first game of the league season?

Much of the talk had centred around who the front pairing would be since the summer arrival of Peter Crouch, and whether it would indeed be a front two or not with so many attacking options available to the manager.

In the end, the partnership that emerged from the White Hart Lane tunnel at 4pm was the same that started the final game of last season against the same opposition at Anfield - the in-form Jermain Defoe and captain Robbie Keane.

Crouch started the game among the substitutes, along with fellow summer arrival Kyle Naughton, meaning only Bassong made a full Spurs debut on the day.

Liverpool injury doubts Gerrard and Jamie Carragher both made Rafa Benitez's starting eleven, and on a typically sun-drenched opening day, we had a mouthwatering contest on our hands.

After all in attendance at The Lane paid their respects to the late, great Sir Bobby Robson with a heart-rendering minute's applause, the new season was underway.

An early clash of heads between Liverpool centre-back pairing Carragher and Martin Skrtel may have shaken the visiting defence a little, but we had to wait until the half-hour mark before our first real opportunity.

Wilson Palacios' deep cross from the right found Luka Modric, and with the outside of his boot the ball was flicked into the six yard area where an unmarked Keane could only find opposing goalkeeper Pepe Reina with his point-blank header.

The Irishman quickly looked to make amends, and moments later he was again put through by Modric, only again to be denied as he tried to lift the ball over the on-rushing Reina.

From the resulting corner, Defoe headed just wide at the near post, but it was clear we were up and running - it seemed only a matter of time.

Keane was to have another good chance on 41 minutes when Tom Huddlestone found him in space with a header, only for the striker to lash a first-time strike high and wide from the edge of the box with space in front of him.

And so it was left to a full-back who, after 151 appearances for the Club and no goals, was perhaps the most unlikely source from which we were to open our account for the season.

Assou-Ekotto's strike, however, was one even some of the most accomplished goal-getters would have been proud of.

And what a time to get it, on the stroke of half-time, as Huddlestone's free-kick rebounded off the Liverpool wall, the Cameroon international took one touch before rifling an unstoppable 25 yard shot into Reina's top right-hand corner, sending the home crowd into raptures. What a way to get us off the mark!

The atmosphere at The Lane became something reminiscent of the closing stages of last season, when we looked unbeatable at our famous home.

Another reminder of that time was a stirring run by our player of 2008-09, Aaron Lennon, just after the break. He was eventually held up, but the confidence was flowing.

It could have been easily been knocked out of us by Gerrard moments later when his 25 yard grass-cutter whistled just past Heurelho Gomes' post.

But it was still Spurs who were in the ascendancy, as Palacios proved when he forced Reina into a fine tip over his bar with another 25 yard shot on 53 minutes.

So any goal would have been against the run of play at this point - but that is so often the nature of the Premier League at its finest.

Out of nothing, Glen Johnson marauded into our box from right-back, getting past Assou-Ekotto and knocking the ball past Gomes before being upended by the goalkeeper.

Gerrard stepped up to knock home the resultant spot-kick, and it was briefly back to square one for Redknapp's men. What was to follow proved how much character and belief his side possess.

Modric curled in the free-kick from the right, Bassong leapt highest to plant his header firmly beyond the reach of Reina. Another new name on our scoresheet, and three goals in the space of 15 minutes - what a game!

Keane tested Reina again with a long range shot on 65 minutes, but that was to be his last action of the game as Crouch entered in his place, adding yet another dimension to an already gripping encounter.

But speaking of strikers, let us not forget the ever dangerous Fernnando Torres at the other end, who up until the 71st minute had been somewhat quiet. He climbed highest to meet Johnson's right-wing cross six yards out, but did not connect well with the header.

Equally threatening is of course Gerrard, but Ledley King did enough to put him off putting powerful contact on a shot at goal one minute later.

The same man did just enough to stop a Gerrard ball getting through to Torres in the box, while Assou-Ekotto did well to halt substitute Andriy Voronin's burst into the box in the last 10 minutes as Liverpool exerted the pressure.

But we weathered the late storm, as the three points were more than deserved. Hull away next on Wednesday - football is back!

Am urmarit doar prima repriza ,dar am ramas placut impresionat de jocul lui Spurs. Atacuri in valuri,viteza de executie,un Modric magic (unul din cei mai inteligenti jucatori din lume,il vad ca pe un jucator de sah care gandeste jocul intotdeauna cu cateva mutari inainte) si evident R.Keane care a tinut sa fie injurat in 3 randuri
Inceput bun,neobisnuit chiar...
Mi-a placut si reactia lui Crouch si Pavlyuchenko de la golul lui Assou. Asta inseamna spirit de echipa..nu conteaza cine joaca , important e sa castige echipa

Harry speaks:

Terrific exhibition - Harry

Harry Redknapp couldn't speak highly enough of the performance as he assessed the fantastic 5-1 win at Hull on Wednesday night.

Jermain Defoe led the way with a hat-trick, scoring twice in the first half as we led 3-1 at the interval.

The striker completed his treble in injury time with Wilson Palacios - his first in the Premier League - and Robbie Keane also on target.

The victory took us to the top of the table on goal difference after two matches as we followed up Sunday's win against Liverpool.


"We looked dangerous every time we had the ball," said Harry at the KC Stadium.

"The movement, passing, the pace - I played with four forwards and we really took it to them.

"We hit them with pace and skill - we were difficult to live with.


"Defoe looked absolutely electric and he's so sharp but it wasn't just about him, Robbie Keane was excellent and the movement in midfield, the lads in there kept rotating and popping up in areas that made it difficult for Hull.

"The way we kept the ball and passed it was fantastic.

"We started well against Liverpool but I think this was even better, our general play was top class."

Hull City boss Phil Brown:

"I don't think, hand on heart, 5-1 flattered Tottenham tonight - they were fabulous. "It's difficult to say to our boys to go out there and do what Spurs do because the gulf in class looks alarming. The fact is, though, that anyone who played Spurs tonight will have got a hiding, I think. "Luckily we don't have to play Tottenham every week"
