Great Result

Spurs brushed aside Besiktas with a 2-0 victory. The fact that it could easily have been 4-0 shows how well we played.

Going to Turkey was never going to be an easy game. Besiktas are in good form in the league sitting third and were on a bit of a run. For us to go there and take all three points is an excellent start to the group stage and remember the higher we finish in the group the easier the oppoistion in the next round. A draw in Germany will put us in a great position to win the group.

Overall everyone played well. Jenas did very well in the middle. He looks so much better than when he is put out wide on the right and teamed up well with Huddlestone. Zokora was knocked down with a virus and I hope he recovers for the visit of the Bingo Boys on Sunday. Murphy had a good game and Keane linked the midfield well with Berbatov but needs to improve his finishing. It was also good to see Lennon get another ten minutes and I hope he starts against the Spammers on Sunday, a game we must win not only to shut them up but to give us a welcome push up the league.

A special mention must go to Berbatov and it just goes to show what a good player he is. Although he lacks a little pace he is strong, can head the ball well, can pick a pass and score goals. Comparisions on some message boards to Raziack last week are well wide of the mark and his contributions will only get better. Now expect Jol to rotate him and bring back Mido for Sunday! I hope not.

COYS!
