Any positives from tonight ?

I thought Bogdan came of age tonight. He wasn't at fault for any of the Spurs goals. Alonso didn't help matters.

Eagles is hot and cold and Myachi couldn't make any penetrating runs.. Walker and Livermore were solid at the back for Spurs.

I didn't expect us to win and neither did Coyle going off the squad he selected.

I think Redknapp wanted this win more than we did. After the previous game when Muamba collapsed, and Spurs fans behaved with dignity, I hope they go on and win it.

Bogdan for sure, some very impressive saves, and i like that he comes for crosses.

he might not claim every one but at least he's not glued to his line like Jussi, it takes balls to come and claim it.

the other positive is we're out of the cup and concentrate on Wolves.

The main positive is that Bolton got hammered.

Sick of this carcther

Bogdan was fantastic, although the first goal he did come out when he couldn't get to it. But aside from that a great performance by him and it could have been embarrasing without him.

Don't think Eagles was hot at any point of the game personally. He was dreadful, constantly gave the ball away , Petrov should start every league game before him.

Big thing is Prats being injured, looks like he might be for a few games as well. Im deffiently not a Pratley fan but were running thin on central mids.

We bring Ricketts in with Wheater, Alonso on the left and push Ream into midfield? Don't really want a lot of experimenting at this end of the season though so I just hope Pratley can get back quick

I have to disagree with you on the Bogdan situation, yes he had a wonderful 75minutes but he really did fuck it up for the opening goal, he came out and was nowhere near it.

It was the same against Blackburn on Saturday aswell so it's not a one off, he is a great shot stopper no doubt about it but the goalkeeping coaches need to do some training on his collecting of the ball from corners.

Keep saying it, and no doubt will do so until the end of the season, We need a striker ! Whats wrong with Sordell? Surely he's more mobile than Klasnic, or even Ngog. We can defend and pass all day long, but if we cant put it away, we may as well not turn up

Sorry, you've got to be thick as pigshit to blame Bogdan for that goal. What did you want the lad to do, stand on his line?

I blame Bogdan for the goal. This is one of the best leagues in the world yet he has the decision making skills of a 10 year old.

Apart from the double save early on, none of the other saves he made were that difficult. The first goal was a great cross and header that he really had no chance dealing with even if he had stayed on his line.

Well there you go, that proves my point.

He's a young guy, still learning. he did well. kept them out for 78 minutes, all on his own. i dont blame him at all, as he did exceptionally well.

Jesus H Christ! Bogdan was MOM voted by ESPN viewers regardless of which team they support. He is young and still learning his trade but he kept us in the game at key moments and at half time we were still in the game.

As regards the striker situation I don't really think it matters who is up front if they are not going to get the service. Klasnic had one through ball which Cudicini saved but other than that we had absolutely no cutting edge in midfield.

RT, its the chicken and the egg scenario, the only problem is that we want both at the same time, unfortunately.

There only not difficult if your in the right position to be fair, a clear cut chance for a striker isn't (shouldn't be) difficult, but getting into the position is the part that's hard. Its the same with a keeper, positioning is vital and its something people overlook.

He took a constant barrage of shots and dealt with them for 75 mins. Saying that if a keeper comes off his line to get a ball then he has to get it. If he doesn't then hes made the wrong decision. But overall I thought Bogdan did very well, lets be fair, if 3 goals go past you and you still get MOTM then you must have had a good game.

Bogdan was bloody brilliant. 14 corners? Seriously?
