Tottenham Hotspurs at Aston Villa

Leave a reply

Spurs Gareth Bale

Will Bale Twist and Turn Villa's Right Side Into Knots Tonight?

Tottenham Hotspur pays a visit to Aston Villa tonight. Will Spurs continue their current six matches unbeaten form? Tonight’s match at Villa Park is another tough one for Spurs. Villa has only lost once at home this season.

The top four positions are still up for grabs for at least six teams in the Premier League. The boys from White Hart Lane would certainly want to recapture or even better last year’s result. As a matter of fact, they are actually targeting a top three position this season. At the moment, Redknapp’s boys are fifth in the table.

After two straight draws, I think it’s high time Spurs got back into their winning ways. It’s not going to be easy, however. Aston Villa has got an excellent record at home. They’ve so far managed to take points from the likes of Manchester United and Chelsea. They would certainly love to add Spurs into that list.

In the last couple of premier league matches, Tottenham hot shot, Gareth Bale, has been kept somewhat silent. Not that he was not performing. It’s just that he is not getting enough chances to display his masterpiece. Perhaps, tonight we will see him shine once again.

However, Bale is not the only player Spurs rely on. They have Luka, Lennon and Van der Vaart. I think it’s safe to say that Harry has one of the best midfield line ups in the league at the moment. When they all click together, they can beat just about any team in the world. Villa’s Marc Albrighton, Eric Lichaj and the rest of the defense will certainly have their hands full tonight.

Are we going to see all four Bale, Modric, Van der Vaart and Lennon at midfield tonight?

Spurs could do well to win this game. It would put them at 30 points. just one point behind Chelsea. Two points behind Arsenal. Chelsea and Arsenal face each other on Monday. A draw between them will certainly make the third and fourth placing race very interesting indeed.

Manchester United seem to have a firm grasp of the premiership lead at the moment. They have a 2 point lead and 2 matches in hand. Still, it’s just coming to mid season. Half of the season more to play. The race for top four is still very much open.

Can the Spurs fans even dream of landing the league title this year? I’d say.. Why Not?

However, for tonight, I’m going for Spurs winning it by 3-1. What’s your take?

Come On You Spurs!

Tottenham Can Be In The TOP Three.. Certainly

Tottenham Hotspur Football is going through a highly positive spell right now. Things have been going right for them. The team have performed excellently in both the British Premier League and Eufa Champions League.

Spurs have got another great challenge coming up today. Later today (00:00 early tomorrow morning Malaysian Time), they go up against the reigning champion, Chelsea. The match will definitely be intense for sure. Chelsea needs a win badly after their recent bad results in the league. Tottenham would certainly want to win this game too.

At home in White Hart Lane, Tottenham have been almost invincible this season. They have a 8-3-2 home record so far in all competition. They have already defeated great teams like Inter Milan and Liverpool at home. I’m very sure they’d want to add Chelsea into that list tonight.

The boys from White Hart Lane is now on a 7 games unbeaten streak. The longest they have had this season. The streak has seen them rising up on the Barclay’s Premier League table. They are now fifth in the league. Just four points behind Chelsea.

A win against Chelsea tonight will certainly make the race for the top three very interesting. At the moment, Chelsea has 30 point. Spurs is at fifth with 26 points. Winning this match will bring Spurs closer to overcoming Chelsea.

What are the odds of Spurs winning tonight’s match? Well, personally, I am going for Spurs winning it 2-1. Gareth Bale and Defoe getting one each for Tottenham and Anelka netting his first league goal for Chelsea since August. The White Hart Lane too, has not been a happy hunting ground for Chelsea. They have not won a Premier League match at the Lane since 2005.

Chelsea would certainly want to win this game. With United playing Arsenal on Monday, a win tonight would bring them back to the top at least until Monday night. Should the top two end up with a draw, then Chelsea would top the table once again.

Recent performances and results all point to a Spurs victory tonight. With that said, Harry and the boys must also not take Chelsea’s recent performances lightly. Yes, they are under a slightly rough patch at the moment. Still, the notion that they can be on top of the league again if they win tonight may provide them with that extra drive to win.

Harry, Bale, Luka, Van Der Vaart, Defoe, Gallas and the rest will have a tough game in their hands tonight. They need to be at their utmost best to get the result they want.

Come On You Spurs!

It Sure Is Great To Be A Spurs Fan

What a week this has been for Tottenham Football and the fans. Spurs have given their fans a great week of football indeed. Two record breaking feats in a week. The fans are really in cloud nine at the moment.

The first record breaking feat. Look at this result – Arsenal 2 – 3 Tottenham. Yes! Spurs winning at the Emirates. It’s really been quite a while since the last time Spurs won away when playing against the top 4 team in the league.

[ad#Google Adsense-2]

However, this win over Arsenal in the Emirates is extra special since it is a Derby game. Even better, Arsenal was leading 2-0 at the half. What ever Harry Redknapp said to the players during the break, it worked wonders for the team. Kudos to Harry.

The second record. Qualifying for the Champions League second round. They did it in true Tottenham style too. By trashing the title holder 3-1 at White Hart Lane. Spurs secured their ticket into the second round after winning 3-0 at home against Werder Bremen. With a game to spare against FC Twente, Spurs are now thinking about topping the group.

Following are posts and articles about Tottenham Hotspurs from around the Internet and the Blogosphere:

Just a quick blog from me. Phil Thompson, former Liverpool coach believes Liverpool can exploit Tottenham’s frailties which lie mostly in the defence.

Crouchy Tottenham Hotspur Home ShirtWerder’s Original

It’s been little over three days since the universe burst from its centre on hearing that Tottenham had finally outdone one of the Sky4 on the road.

The journey continues

Tottenham’s regeneration from 3-0 down in 30 minutes against Young Boys in August to second round qualification with a game to spare is scarcely believable.

‘This is just the start’ – Crouchy

Peter Crouch believes qualifying for the knockout stages of the Champions League is just the start of what we can achieve in the competition.

This week, Spurs have Liverpool to think about. The last time they won in the Champions League, they dropped their Premier League game. I hope that doesn’t happen this time around.

This Tottenham Squad Will Finish In The Top Four If They Stop Playing Lazy Football

Gunner's Fabregas hitting it pass the stretched hands of Gomes

Tottenham paid a heavy price against Arsenal last night for playing “Lazy Football”. Arsenal secured a comfortable 3 – 0 victory against the visiting Tottenham who pretty much did nothing through out the 90 minutes of football. Should Spurs really want to end the season at the top four, they will really have to shed that “Lazy Football” mentality which they put on last night.

What is “Lazy Football”? That’s what I deemed appropriate to describe how Spurs played against the Gunners last night. All they did the entire match was pass the ball around lazily. Once a while they would send a highball towards P.Crouch. Crouch would then jump up high and nod the ball down hoping the likes of Robie Keane would be around to control it.

How many attempts did they make at the Gunner’s goal? Probably just a handful. If my recollection is correct, I’d say Almunia was only tested once. Bentley’s freekick which went directly to Almunia and he tipped it over for a fruitless corner.

Harry Redknapp’s team clearly had no clue what they wanted to do in the match. Nobody had the courage nor desire to attack the Arsenal defense straight up. It’s as if all they were told to do in the match is to just pass the ball around at midfield.

It’s pretty obvious that Spurs rely on the creative juices of Aaron Lennon and Luca Modric. Both are not available last night. It’s really sad that a team like Spurs have only two players they could rely on to mastermind their engine room.

The saddest point for Spurs fans last night was probably during the second goal. The way the entire team just shutdown is truly shocking. That to me is the epitome of what I call “Lazy Football”.

Spurs have now played 7 matches without Modric. They’ve lost four and drawn one. In all four of those losses, Lennon was also either unproductive or not playing. Harry really need to have another Lennon or Modric on the team.

Harry should also look into Spurs defense. All three Arsenal goals came from very slack defending. It’s utterly shocking to see Tottenham defense allowing Fabregas to roll them around to score Arsenal’s second goal.

For reasons unknown to me, the entire Tottenham team was just totally out of it last night. Harry needs to do something about this if he wants to see the Spurs make a challenge for the top four spots.

Spurs have now lost two back to back league games. Their next Premier League match will be against Sunderland at home. Can Spurs turn things around? Can they stop having to rely on Aaron Lennon and Luca Modric to create chances at goal? Will someone step up and take over the role played by Lennon and Modric?

Come On You Spurs!
