There was no hiding Martin Jol's disappointment after our opening day defeat at Sunderland. Michael Chopra pounced to score the only goal of the game in injury time at the Stadium of Light. Chances were few and far between - Paul Robinson made the only two saves of note before Chopra won it for the home side. Apart from an impressive debut from Younes Kaboul in central defence, Martin had little to smile about. "We didn't play well and didn't create as many chaces as I would have liked," reflected a downcast Martin at the Stadium of Light. "Even a 0-0 draw would have been disappointing. "When you don't play well a 0-0 draw is still a 0-0 draw and we have to learn how to protect that. We didn't and I could come up with excuses, but I won't. "We had players out but we were still strong enough. It was the first match and we were determined to do well but it didn't happen." Martin revealed that Michael Dawson sprained his ankle in training on Friday, forcing him out of the squad and a late reshuffle with Anthony Gardner coming in to partner Kaboul. "I thought Anthony did a good job as did Kaboul, who had a very good debut for us, but that's not enough," added Martin. "We needed more urgency because if you score in the first half you create pressure, but we didn't do that and made it difficult for ourselves. If we don't score, it's always a possibility that the other team will score and that's what happened." ============================================================================== 開幕戰再度吃黑 Jol很失望 對方機會不多 而我們自己也沒弄出幾次機會 唯一讓Jol高興的是Kaboul表現不俗 Jol說: "我們踢的不好 沒有跟平常一樣做出機會 即使零平也是失望的結果" "你踢不好的時候零平還是零平 我們必須學會守局 我們沒做到" "其實我可以辯解 但是我並不想這麼做" "我們有球員缺席但是我們還是夠強大 這是第一場 我們賽前都不想輸" Dawson在練習的時候受傷 迫使Jol臨時洗牌 "Gardner表現的很棒 跟Kaboul一樣 Kaboul雖然初亮相表現很棒 但還不夠" "我們要更堅持 如果上半有進球有製造壓力 但是我們沒做到" "艱難的場面是自己造成的" "我們不進球 不保證對手也一樣 這就是當晚發生的事" 另外Jol很不滿意前鋒線上的表現 他認為他們不夠拼 所以對Everton的比賽不排除調整鋒線的可能性 -- 我覺得現在這隻熱刺隊最大的弱點就是不會打陣地戰 當反擊被鎖住的時候 靠中場的力量很難打出機會 進而變成兩翼無頭亂帶 不能責怪後防Kaboul新兵 Pascal在不是他的位置 Gardner就是Gardner -- To Dare is to Ｂite? --
