First half Spurs played well and we were a bit lacklustre, passing not right and some of the players touches weren't up to the usual standard. Still that half was pretty even.
Onto the second half and things were much better, we raised the tempo and Stevie Gerrard was fantastic, we often talk about Alonso's ability of dictating the pace of a game, well our skipper today showed how you change the tempo of the game, his direct running and crossing was fantastic and the Spurs left back couldnt cope.
Bellamy's goal will come, he worked hard and should of buried the one he put against the post, but the shot with his left foot accross the goal in the first half was a good effort (the one robinson saved) and what i was happiest with was his reaction to being taken off...he clapped the crowd shook Garcia's hand and there was no sign of petulance, really happy with him so far.
Gonzalez today played well, he obviously isn't blessed with loads of skills but he is really direct, crosses the ball well and gets himself in the right positions to score goals (Pennant take note)
This was a fine win, and especially as Spurs looked comfortable at times, Dawson and King are one of the best pairings in the Premiership imo, and in the end we won 3-0, cany complain about that.
Dirk's finish was fantastic, the first touch that took him through sublime, then a blistering strike, there was times in the match that his distribution wasn't as good as it has been but the lad guarantees goals.
I am made up today, Spurs are one of the better sides in this league despite there poor start.
ALLLRIGHTY THEN !!
