Match Thread: Tottenham Hotspur vs Olympiakos

[Neil_Vaughan]

Talk about the game in here before, during and after.

[Gino Ginelli]

Will Crouchy and Gio be playing in this one?

[peterc]

I predict that we will win 2-0. Hope so, I'm going.

[Spur]

Will Crouchy and Gio be playing in this one?

No but Huntelaar and Robben are.

[Gino Ginelli]

Who for? Olympiakos? :tongue:

[gazzaG8]

I'm going to this one. 3-0 Spurs! Crouch to get on the score sheet. Is Bassong eligable?

[hastingsyid]

win 3-1.............

[irishspur]

Should nick a win wont be easy they are the best team in greek football. I hope we line up like this...

------------Gomes
-Hutton charlie bassong naughton
Bentley? Jenas O'hara Rose
-----Crouch Keane

Bassong should make his debut seeing he wont be involved against pool, naughton has to be tried at left back as he played there for long periods last season and Bae and bassong will both be gone for a month in january. Hopefully crouch and keano get a chance to show what they are like together as we already know what crouchys like with defoe:drool::drool:

[yidgirl_belfast]

fancy 3-1 spurs :ciao:

[singapore spur]

[Mattyboii]

i recon alot of the players could get a run in. Crouch scoring, Bentley scoring, and Defoe

[OffsideRuelFox]

Interesting team selection

Gomes; Naughton, Bassong, King, Assou-Ekotto; Bentley, Huddlestone, O'Hara, Rose; Crouch, Keane. SUBS - Cudicini, Chimbonda, Corluka, Lennon, Modric, Boateng, Livermore, Bostock, Pavlyuchenko, Defoe, Obika.

King back - thank God just hope he does not got injured.

Crouch and Keane paired up front - indication these two will start on Sunday?

Also where the hell is Wilson????

[malc123]

Not sure what it says re selection for next week as friendley & crouch & keane never played together makes sense to try it out. However No GDS,Palacious or Hutton?

More an indication that Defoe may have to play for England mid-week. I'd expect Corluka to replace King at HT.

[Neil_Vaughan]

Is anyone interested in doing a Player Ratings piece for www.spurs-web.com (http://www.spurs-web.com)?

i.e.

Sebastien Bassong (8) - Looked assured at the heart of the Spurs defence alongside Ledley King, a solid debut despite it being just a pre-season friendly.

[LifeTimeYido]

Excellent finish from Pav.

[LifeTimeYido]

Ahhhh candy from a baby !!

[nuttyhotspurs]

yep i have a feeling that will be bentleys last "performance" in a spurs shirt. another shit display.cant say im arsed really. :ciao:

[StevenYTID]

So still Huntelaar over pav aye?
*rolls eyes*

[Keanoldinho]

feck me that was a stone cold peno ooohhh Defoe bangs it in as I type

this aint a very good warm up is it, the Greeks couldn't be arsed

[nuttyhotspurs]

i predict a bostock screamer

[KevSpur]

Are my eyes deceiving me , or does KPB look half decent?

[Keanoldinho]

Are my eyes deceiving me , or does KPB look half decent?



I was thinking the same thing, played a lovely little 1 2 with Lenno

BUT

Olympiakos have been beyond shit they really aint trying very hard at all

[nuttyhotspurs]

Are my eyes deceiving me , or does KPB look half decent?

i like him, he has a lot of enthusiasm. he likes to get about the pitch and get involved. hasnt had much of a chance has he

[KevSpur]

I was thinking the same thing, but then it hasn't stopped Bentley looking shit as usual.

[Keanoldinho]

that's true he was crap and who takes the huff when they get subbed in a friendly wtf was that all about, ship the cvnt out I say he's had his chance and failed miserably

[spudsulike]

I was thinking the same thing, but then it hasn't stopped Bentley looking shit as usual.

I think Bentley's days are over at White Hart Lane. Apart from being garbage again, the way that he stormed off down the tunnel when he was subbed, blanking Harry who was applauding him off, and then taking his shirt off like he had the hump, means he thinks he is finished here.

I had high hopes for him, but I have not seen anything from him to suggest that he is really any good. The goal that he scored against the arse is stuff of legends but, thats about it. Shame, but if we can get a few million or a swap for him, I would snap their hands off. :thumbdown:

and he says hes a lifelong spurs fan?? jesus christ what the f*uck is up with the muppet to do something like that at the lane.:thumbdown:

[earl warwick]

Just like last season, you'd get more of a test playing against 11 Arse fans. Barca at Wembley was equally a false conceit, having only heard of 4 of their players. In previous seasons, I thought at least Torino, Inter and Sociedad wanted more than just a walk in the park.

[earl warwick]

and he says hes a lifelong spurs fan?? jesus christ what the f*uck is up with the muppet to do something like that at the lane.:thumbdown:

He doesn't. His mates are(his best mate posts on GG as mams) and apparently so are his family. Something of another Rebrov seems to have developed, although Rebrov was messed about a lot, and often showed a lot of quality.

[LifeTimeYido]

Pav was good today some good link up and passing - excellent finish.

Modric was brilliant....good passing and linked up well.

Bassong wasnt to tested today - so cant say much.

All played pretty well today cept Bentley he was total dog shite.

[Mattyboii]

someone get me some highlights! was working at the charity shield in wembo today

[matthius23]

All this talk of who will start - Defoe and Keane, Crouch and Keane, Crouch and Defoe... someone threw a spanner in the works today, cos Pav was outstanding. Immaculate control and first touch, cracking finish for his goal,drooping deep to collect the ball, and linking up well with Lennon, Modric and Defoe.

Good to see Mr Prince Boateng put in a solid shift!!!

[peterc]

I was impressed with Pavs control, possession and assists today, Modric was fantastic. Second half seemed to be more productive and we seemed to play at a faster pace.

Modric, Lennon and Defoe made the difference for me. Not difficult since Olympiakos just came for a quick run-around. Without Modric Spurs have few ideas. Lennon always threatens with his runs, and seems to have more ideas on where to run with the ball, and look for passes, whilst Defoe is pure goal threat, never mind lacking a football brain.

Modric increasingly impinges into the realm of "world-class". Awareness, touch, control, movement, placement, just lacking a little in the area of goal threat that would seal it. I'm on the verge of enjoying him more than Berba and I bet he will be the subject of 30m+ offers next summer, and will leave.:dong:

I hope that you are wrong there mate.:banghead:

[Gold7]

Thanks fella's for the your reports on the game.
Is there any where I can get highlights for the game?. Seen the goals on ssn but wanted a bit more.
Cheers

[GQCoolest]

What about King? I know he only played 45, but did he move well? Look fit enough for Sunday?

Agree with your last paragragh and hope your last sentence doesn't materialise. If we do well this season we may be able to keep him, infact I think we will do well and will keep him. City have all the pressure on their shoulders now, we have no Europe and I think we are slowly emerging as dark horses for this season.

Now all we need to do is get Young and Cattermole in for Jenas and Bentley - thats our squad balanced lovely...bye bye :ciao: City!

That would be coolio indeed! :cool:

Although the Petrov rumours intrigue me if Young proves too expensive. But if O'Neill is happy with £5m plus JJ for Young then I'd take that!

[peterc]

Some of you guys seem to live in dreamland. Do you seriously think
that MON would accept Ashley Young coming to Spurs, to take the likes of Bentley and JJ, who are we trying to kid?.:bike:

Dont take it so seriosuly...its tongue and cheek. I know the chances of signing Young are extremely remote, its a light hearted joke Pete...:santaclaus:

Well, with all these supposedly ITKS, one is not too sure what is a joke and what might be a possibility. Anyway, either way I cannot see it happening.

[Gino Ginelli]

Saw the goals last night. I have to say I was well impressed with Pav and Defoe. Great goals from them, and a nice assist from Pav for Charlie as well.

I know it's just a friendly, but I reiterate my belief that Pav is going to be the man for us up front this season! Pav, Palacios and the MLK reforged (Modric, Lennon, Keane) are going to be formidable!

I agree with you Gino, I could see Pav playing a big part this season. He might not always be first choice but could give Harry some real headaches.

Could see him coming off the bench to score against the bin dippers as well.

Infact I think our striking department looks very exciting.

Wouldn't be surprised if we are all dying to hold on to Pav next summer - football is a fickle business!!
