Tottenham seem to suffer a hangover from their inspired triumph over Inter Milan at home during mid-week, as they slumped to a 4-2 away defeat to Bolton at the Reebok Stadium on Saturday.
Just 2 weeks ago, Rafael Van der Vaart came to Tottenham's rescue, claiming a goal against Everton to steal a much needed point from Everton in front of the home fans at White Hart Lane.
This week, we see Van der Vaart being left out of the squad, leaving Crouch alone up front. Tottenham only managed 2 goals coming from Hutton and Pavlyuchenko, which makes us wonder if Crouch simply lacks the instinct to bring in any goals other than his occasional header from amongst the confusion during set pieces. To make things worse for Tottenham, Gomes' "butter fingers" allowed in 4 goals which made their 2 goals somewhat of a consolation as they failed to complete their comeback to equalise for the needed point to challenge for this season's Championship spot.
Having played just over 10 games, the season is still young but the competition is fierce. Hopefully, the loss at Bolton won't come back to bite Tottenham at the end of the season as they mount their challenge for honours in the English Premier League.
Suggestion: Stop Crouch from further embarrassing himself. He has failed to score a single goal in the league this season and a total of 8 in the league last season! I'm sure Harry Redknapp can better entrust his faith and dreams to someone who looked less like a pair of chopsticks on the field.
