Comments on: Stoke v Spurs: What The Hell Do We Do Without Defoe? http://www.tottenhamblog.com/2010/03/19/stoke-v-spurs-what-the-hell-do-we-do-without-defoe/ The Spurs News Blog That Expects The Worst And Is Rarely Disappointed Tue, 07 Feb 2012 14:38:33 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.3 By: dc samuel http://www.tottenhamblog.com/2010/03/19/stoke-v-spurs-what-the-hell-do-we-do-without-defoe/comment-page-1/#comment-20651 dc samuel Sat, 20 Mar 2010 14:35:52 +0000 http://www.tottenhamblog.com/?p=1469#comment-20651 n17ment is right: the big 3 have all won at Stoke, and the ones chasing 4th have all dropped points: hence the difference. As for Defoe: what's all this rubbish about he won't be missed? Are people completely mad? Top scorer with 23 goals!!!?? Last game he missed, we lost. He has been great all season, with added strength to his pace and instinctive finishing. He stretches defences and gives space to others, and his all round game has improved. I agree with Fitch the ideal would be switch to a 4-5-1 with Pav up top, which would suit Modric better too - but just seen the team news: Kaboul in centre-mid!!! O well: that's a gamble, let's see what happens. n17ment is right: the big 3 have all won at Stoke, and the ones chasing 4th have all dropped points: hence the difference.

We have the Beanstalk & da 'Baby-faced' Russian Assassin. Icelandic Power Tower is also a reason why we shouldn't be worried. Defoe's injury could be a blessing in disguise. Put it this way, he gets more rest during his recovery and means Pavvy thinks he has a more important role to play and Crouch gets enough games towards the end of the season to seal his place in the England squad. I hope Lennon can recover and be fit in time for WC. Forget Beckham, we can provide Huddlestone, which pretty have 75% what Becks has. He can run though he doesn't need to, sharp passing and the 25% missing from him is his accuracy in direct freekicks. Nobody can Bend-It-Like-Becks. I’m not worried.

He is off form and a change might just see someone else copy Pav and take there chance. We have a squad it's not all about Defoe ...tosser! Plonker!…Defoe has been shite for a while now.

Good at what he does, but with obvious limitations. However, I can't see Crouch and Pav as a very good combination and we still have no idea whether Gudjohnsen is up to playing at the top level. I guess we'll find out... I’m not a huge fan of Defoe myself. Good at what he does, but with obvious limitations.

Sweet! I wanted them to get either Barça or United. Not worried about Defoe, obvious that Crouch and Gud on the bench will do. "The handsome guy will score the winner..." Fuck off the net and get some sleep, Crouchy! ;) Barcelona? Sweet! I wanted them to get either Barça or United. Not worried about Defoe, obvious that Crouch and Gud on the bench will do.
