I can't believe I lost 600v on that, buzzards.
1500v here. Knew it would be a draw too.

Didn't think Berbatov was any better than Bent tonight.
tbh, I know it seems like I'm making excuses for him, but whenever Bent plays it's always because we're reasting players and other players don't try so hard. For example, Lennon & Huddlestone were poor tonight, as was O'Hara's assing in general so Bent gets no service, Berbatov got no service either.
it's just a shame that bent doesn't play when we're in full flight.
Tainio got nuttsed! I was like... "lol".but better than our LB
We were shocking. No purpose, no decisiveness, no passion. Completely uninspiring, and really deflated my optimism for the final.
Cerny has to play in goal for the final, Robbo seemed very flat footed, and inspires no confidence to the defence.
Tainio was woeful, and Chimbonda wasn't much better. Kaboul was Ok, and Woodgate looked solid as ever. Lennon just wasn't there, O'Hara started brightly, but faded. Zoko and Huddlestone just never went for it.
I feel sorry for Bent because if the team had gone for it tonight he could have had a few more chances. That said he hit the bar twice, and made good runs. You just know he's got goals in him. Unfortunately he needs a run in the team, but with Keane and Berbatov playing as they have he has no chance.
Silver lining is that we're through, and we have a huge game on Sunday. They have to get fired up for this. And Ramos has to start getting them to turn up for every game. It's well and good valiantly drawing to Man United, but whats the point if you don't build on that, by not even bothering to turn up against Slavia, or Derby etc.

It seems that Ramos and the team have underestimated the game,
Or the fact we had a CM at RB and a RB at LB that got changed for a CM/LM at LB?
i had less confidence in the back 4 tonight than i did in Robbo, who i thought played well.
Just got back.
I haven't read the thread but Bent was fine tonight, at least he managed to hit the bar (twice!) WTF did the other two do? Bent bashing is become the new sport on SC and it's completly unjustified. He did well against Derby but twice he was open only to be ignored by Lennon and Steed.

What a load of rubbish, if we play like that on Sunday we'll get thrashed. At least we won't be able to say the players were knackered, they barely moved tonight!

It's one thing to have a pop at Bent but if he's not getting any service it's hardly his fault. I don't think we can say he doesn't fit in the team, if he gets the ball he'll put it away. If I were Ramos I'd be having words with Lennon and telling him to sort it out.
You are right imo. Spurs could not keep the ball long enough due to the crap performances of the Hudd, Zokora, O'Hara and both FBs. It seems that Ramos and the team have underestimated the game, especially after the early goal of O'Hara. But if Spurs win the final no one will remember about the game against Slavia.
Even though strikers lacked good service Bent could score twice. He wasn't that bad as some fans think.
Din fact Chelscum have won many games this year playing just like we did tonight, so just relax ladies and gentlemen and wait for the real Spurs to turn up.
Best player tonight for us was Woody.
I seriously doubt Chelsea have been outplayed by anyone this season like we were at times tonight.
Agree with you that Woody was our best player tonight, we need to keep him fit, him alongside King in defence is some prospect :up:
err did you watch them against pompey recently, should have been well beat but they nicked a draw.
