Spurs English Players Make A Point

Tottenham beat Man City 1-0 last night to secure that coveted final Champions League spot for next season. More importantly than that though, was the performances from the English players for Spurs.

Firstly big Peter Crouch put in one of his best performances of the season. He scored the winner, looked dangerous, won pretty much every header and showed again that he has great technical ability especially for a player of his size. His strike partner Jermain Defoe also put in a good shift up front. They are a good partnership and compliment each other very well. Both should definitely be on the plane to South Africa.

It was another partnership that caught the eye as well. Ledley King and Michael Dawson both looked solid again. They kept City's attacking threats largely at bay and both looked very impressive. Dawson should be going but there are bigger questions about King. He can only train once a week the day before a game and can only play once a week. Can you really take a player like that to such an intense tournament? I don't think so, I think four centre-backs should be Terry, Ferdinand, Dawson and Upson.

Here's quite an old video of Crouch but it shows how good he is and that he can score all different types of goals.
