As spurs fans we have experienced all kinds of emotions this week. Last Saturday we felt untold confidence and optimism as we kicked off against Sunderland, only to get a kick in the teeth in the dying seconds of the game.
Tuesday nights game with everton was the match we would put things right we hoped. But when kaboul limped off injured i knew we would get very little from the game, and that was indeed the case.
All week the media have been having a field day, stating that spurs are in crisis and Martin Jol would lose his job!. He even had urgent talks with our chairman Mr Levy so the papers said. The fact that he has weekly talks with the chairman seems not to be reported. I guess you can't let the truth get in the way of a good story now can you.
On to todays game, it was a must win game of course it was. We needed to give our season a kick start and today we did. Two goals from Malbranque inside 6 minutes eased the pressure on Martin Jol and us fans alike.
Jenas scorced a wonderful solo effort on 14 minutes after stealing the ball from Derby's Andy Todd and sliding it past the helpless keeper.
Wayne Routledge had the ball in the net on 32 minutes but the linesman wrongly flagged for offside.
Derby managed there first and only shot on target on the 70 minute mark, Gary Teale saw his shot saved by robbinson.
On 79 minutes Darren bent scored his first goal for spurs, McEveley's back header brought a good save out of the Derby keeper and bent raced in to nod it home.
So it finished 4-0 to spurs and in truth it was one way traffic, the return of Young-pyo lee at left back gave the back four a more solid look to it. Routledge playing on the right gave us the width we have been craving, therefore keeping their left back very busy all the game. Huddlestone's distribution was great, playing a variety of passes that was a joy to see. And jenas upped a gear after his recent poor performances.
The team had a more balanced look to it today, we still have a very long injury list but they will slowly come back and then we can push on. Tonight I'm very pleased we are above Man Utd and Arsenal. Wenger for the sack anyone!
