Much better in the second half, it's a shame we lost the game in the first.

I think today shows that we need to use that 5-4-1 formation carefully, 4-2-3-1 has been immeasurably better today since we changed to it.

Let's not take today out of context though, if someone had offered us 6 points from 9 prior to Wigan, we would have bitten their hands off.

It works against teams that don't have two very good play makers in their midfield. Newcastle didn't have the quality to break us down. Spuds obviously do.

...and if they pick you apart then there's nothing you can do. I didn't expect us to win this, but that doesn't mean that we should be totally useless. Let's not forget that this is a Spurs side that drew midweek and lost last weekend (against two sides that may well finish in the bottom half).

If you want to compete then you have to hold onto the ball a bit. If you give a midfield of that qualify 80% of the ball then they will beat you, and that's what it was with about 30 minutes gone. No question about it.

If you're saying that this Spurs side are SO good that we can't hope to have more than 20-30% of the ball then let's just pack it in and try and re-enter the league at a more suitable level. I've seen Bolton outplay them, watched Villa outplay United in the second half today and numerous other surprising results in recent weeks...the key to all of them has been keeping a decent amount of possession even when you are spending large parts of the game defending. Tackle and hoof will never win it. Never.

You just hate Allardyce Eddie.

We're 3 down but have been playing some good football on the break and on the floor..

Givet is a damn liability when he is off his game and going forward he is dog guff.

That's because he's a centre back playing left back. Vidic would look pretty bad flying up the left wing too.

He's looked even worse when we have played him at centre back. He's far too small and always has these errors in him. Nelsen, Samba and Jones are better centre backs than he is. I bet Hanley isn't far off.

Anyway, didn't he play for France at left back? The Vidic comparison is totally unfair, Givet has played at left back for other clubs. Wes Brown is a better example from Utd.

Far too small? He's taller than Puyol and Cannavaro. :rolleyes:

If we had put away one of those chances we had it would'nt have been so embarrasing, I hope the new owners are watching carefully and rethinking there 5 million budget in Jan.

Jesus wept, bleedin' handball by Van der Fart before Bale scored! Totally undeserved. STFU Spuds fans you tw@s!

Farcical penatly, undeserved yellow for Samba, and a blatant handball assist...ridiculous.
