If you watch the replays of their first goal, TV calls for Mertesacker to hold and catch Adebayor...

offside but Vermaelen doesn't see Bale on his blind side. Mertesacker, like any good german, was only following orders.

:hehe:

Especially as he took orders from a Belgie.

which he should, as club captain and leader of the back line. he's supposed to be the one organizing the rest and reading the game to look for those runners

Vermaelen didn't seem to take any notice. Probably language barrier in the heat of the moment of something but yeah both goals you could pin of Vermaelen if you were being exceptionally harsh. Personally, I think both Spurs goals were excellent and we'd be ****ing ourselves off silly if we'd cut them open with two through balls like that to go 2-0 up.

You used to be able to see our teams ratchet up the gears, now we seem to only operate with one and very now and then we find a turbo boost from somewhere.

The players have a low comfort zone and its not good.
