You sort of know it's going in when Bale shoots
We've two awesome young options for that "cam/l" role in THOR *THUNDERSTRIKE* Sigurdson and Lewis "one-touch" Holtby!For me it was Siggurdson that changed this game for us, he was such a threat when he came on and held the ball up so much better than Holtby had been doing.

Holtby's been an enigma for me so far. He looked good on his first appearance, and I figured he'd be just the man to provide service forward, slotting in ideally ot the VDV role. Yet, to me, he seems to be the opposite so far, not quite fitting in.For me it was Siggurdson that changed this game for us, he was such a threat when he came on and held the ball up so much better than Holtby had been doing.
I agree wholeheartedly! Sometimes Lewis is just trying to be too cute with his flicks. Sure as hell didn't hurt to get a metronome into the side in the shape of Tiny Tom either!I think the other players weren't quite on Holtby's one touch wave length today, and though some of the things he tried would be clever and create chances on other days we needed someone to slow it and play a killer ball. Thor did that for us.
Make one for Sunday then.Spurs still haven't lost a game when I've made the match thread :avblol:

Still, early days. Just needs to get used to the players and league more I think.
