I watched the full match. Spurs keeps on disappointing me with each match they play, for a teams of so much class i really expected so much better from them!
So many of our players didn't perform in this match! It's up to Harry Redknapp then to make the right substitutions in time. Both Crouch and Huddlestone had complete off-days, especially Huddlestone was horrible to watch!
How he does not score one on one with the GK!! And 80% of his passes were unsuccessful. Modric and Van der Vaart were excellent in the 1st half but disappeared (especially VDV) in the 2nd half.
Bale at LB just doesn't have the same influence, even though he was pushing up. I guess we didn't have much choice with injuries and the like to the other backs, but you can feel the difference. Add to that Lennon not contributing as well as he could along with a few others.....and we end up with no points. BTW Jenas played some nice balls forward didn't he?
Hey dudes, here's a cool fact: Piquionne's goal was the 10,000th Premier League goal scored with a Nike ball.

The news
The excellent Gareth Bale struck the foot of the post with a rasping drive as a misfiring City were overwhelmed.
City did improve after the break and Shaun Wright-Phillips was denied by a last-ditch tackle, but Hart twice kept out efforts from Roman Pavlyuchenko.
And for all City's spending in the close-season, more than £100m on five new signings, it was Hart - brought back to the club after a season-long loan with Birmingham - who was their most valuable asset.
His magnificent interventions in the first half prevented the home side racking up a score that would have left City's embarrassment of riches simply embarrassed in the opening game of the new Premier League season.

1. Unlucky Spurs! Fantastic attacking football though; it's going to be one exciting season for this team. Mancini put so much $ in offense and all he gets is 2 shots on target lol wow.
2. exactly what i expected from both sides. They are equally dangerous and both looking to compete for the championship. Can't wait to see how the rest of the season goes for them. Great game to hart, glad to see him work his way up, and prove himself.
3. great performance from spurs... but excellent performance from hart (good to shut the critics about the disastrous world cup fumble). Bale looked great nice touches and king very dominant. Dont count city out yet they are just trying different thing, but once the find the right formation and starting line up theyll be good!
Carling Cup: Spurs vs Arsenal (1-4)
We lost to Arsenal young lads. Spurs also made some changes. New players had been given a chance to show off their skills.
Some of the Spurs fan said, the agenda this season is the League and the CL.
I can understand why Arsenal fielded a stronger team because it has been quite a long time since they've touched silverware...
Lennon has not been the player he was last year so far..that was Bentley's first game all season so he belongs nowhere on that list. Palacios has lost his spot to Jenas (which says it all about his form really, even though Jenas is playing quite well to be fair).
Our midfield is high class
...................Huddlestone....Modric............
Lennon...............Van Der Vaart................Bale
Bale is one of the best left sided players in the world...
But is it so hard to beat Arsenal?

Comments:
Nice game from Spurs, and as always Bale with a great game, Hutton coming in as a sub was also spectacular... Vaart played very well too in the attacking mid field position, its looking good for Spurs and Harry...
What a wierd celebrating from Pavy, I think he wanted his name on the shirt noticed or something?? LOL
***************************
How great is bale by the way..
with hutton on the right and bale on the left, the wings attack of tottenham is seriously deadly.
i think Van der Vart had a good game too.. his passing from the centre mid is great. i think Real Madrid will surely miss him. and talk about post player, crouch is the man! but the pavluychenko took the goal. i think this spurs team can achieve something this year
