Player Expectations for next year ! (Tom Carroll)

Last year was Tom's first real chance in the first team and boy did he take his chance. He impressed everyone with his passing ability and his ability to control the midfield yet being one of the youngest players on the field. He played a big part in some important goals last year none other than Gareth Bale's against West Ham.

I along with many others are expecting big things from Carroll in the years to come. He has already shown maturity and confidence in his game and his ability to control the midfield is unreal for his age. I expect Carroll to work on his physical ability as he is rather weak but I am sure this will come with age because he still looks like a fourteen year old boy. Unfortunately I don't expect Carroll to get much first team football in the league next year with the competition in the centre midfield position extremely high however I do expect him to appear in many cup games and off the bench. I wouldn't be surprised to see AVB try and loan him out to other Premier League opposition next year and gain some more well needed Premier League experience.

Unfortunately there was no video to show his incredible skill but this is just a little clip too show you just what he is capable of !

Player Expectations for next year ! (Scott Parker)

Scott is a great tackler and is a great holding midfielder who is probably the most determined midfielder in the league. In the 2011/12 season he was our outstanding performer and without him we suffered a great loss however last year with Sandro playing excellently Parker found himself out of the team and losing his form.

Parker is getting on a bit and last year may have been everyones sighter to see where Parker is heading and unfortunately that is down. With his performances going down and Sandro's going up I expect Parker to find himself sitting on the bench a lot next year. To be fair I don't expect Parker to be able to do a lot about it either because the only thing that is keeping him down is his age which has left him less fit which changes Parker's game all together. Another thing that I expect is going to keep him out of the team is Sandro who is just getting better and better.

Player Expectations for next year ! (Tom Huddlestone)

Tom Huddlestone had a lot of game time last year due to injury and in my opinion that was one of the leading factors we didn't get Champions League. Despite him being a good passer of the ball he in my opinion is a terrible midfielder. He is very lazy and clumsy and to me doesn't seem determined enough.

I honestly hope Tom Huddlestone is not a Tottenham player next year as in my opinion he is a terrible midfielder for a team who is aiming for Champions League football and instead he should be in a team trying to stay out of the relegation zone however I expect him to stay in North London and I think AVB likes Huddlestone... unfortunately. But Huddlestone can be a better player, if he can lose some of his timber and become more determined and less lazy he can be a good midfielder because he is a great passer but the way he comes across even if he does lose some timber and become less lazy he will still be a lazy, fat player.

Tottenham Hotspur vs South China Match Review

Spurs took on South China in Hong Kong today in the third and fourth play off for the Barclays Asia Trophy. After a very disappointing semi final against Sunderland AVB lined up a slightly better team of Lloris, Rose, Walker, Dawson, Caulker, Dembele, Parker, Sigurdsson, Dempsey, Lennon and Defoe. This team payed off as Spurs completely humiliated South China in a 6-0 thrashing.

Once again they had to play on a poor pitch but AVB's risky decision of playing a short passing game payed off and Spurs started incredibly brightly and it looked like a different team from the game just a few days ago. Spurs were very impressive all round and in the 12th minute they got what they deserved, a goal. Dembele, Dempsey and Sigurdsson played some lovely football together and played it out wide to Rose who drilled the ball across the box and South China defender Tse knocked it into his own net. Spurs carried on the impressive play with Dembele ruling the play and with Dempsey and Defoe coming very close to scoring our second until on the 33rd minute Defoe took it passed the South China defence and cut it back to Dempsey who side footed it into the bottom right hand corner. Spurs kept the pressure on and in the 44th minute they put the game to bed when Walker drilled his free-kick into the wall and it deflected straight into Defoe's path who slotted home from close range.

The second half began with two Spurs substitutes of Carroll and Naughton on for Dempsey and Walker. Despite Spurs being three up they didn't ease off and in the 53rd minute they went four up when Rose played the ball over the top and the keeper went to clear the ball but it rebounded off of Defoe who ran on to the ball and just had to tap it in. Tottenham then seemed to ease off and made four changes of Townsend, Huddlestone, Livermore and Fryers for Dembele, Lennon, Parker and Rose. Despite easing off Spurs still managed to score on 79 minutes when Defoe got his hat-trick from a perfect through ball from Sigurdsson and he slotted home into the bottom left hand corner. But Spurs still weren't finished and on the 86th minute Townsend scored a great free kick. Lloris had nothing to do the whole game but in the 88th minute he was forced into a great save.

I was really impressed by Spurs' performance this afternoon and to be honest I couldn't fault a player. I was very impressed with Dembele and Carroll in the middle who were pulling the strings in the middle. Walker and Rose were brilliant bombing forward and created numerous problems for the South China defence and finally the Man of the Match, Defoe who scored a great hat-trick and hopefully this is what we are to see in the coming season.
