Windy’s Tottenham Player Ratings vs Manchester United

Friedel 6 – I felt that his punch over the bar leading to the corner from which United opened the scoring was a little unnecessary, but other than that he had a solid game and didn’t deserve to concede three.

Walker 4 – His “marking” of Rooney for the opener was slack at best, and his clearance for the second goal wasn’t good enough – he should really have cleared the ball with his left foot.

Kaboul 6 – Another commanding performance, although perhaps he could have closed Young down more quickly for the third goal (although there was a lack of midfield cover).

King 6 – Very few shaky moments this week which was good to see. I still don’t think he looks as fit as he had been, and have my concerns.

Assou-Ekotto 7 – Provided an outlet on the left and had some bright moments. He was also generally defensively sound.

Lennon 8 – Most of our good chances came through him – particularly his wonderful bit of play on the left which created the chance from which Adebayor “scored”.

Livermore 7 – A very solid central midfield display – 88% pass completion from 73 passes is very respectable, and he also made two tackles and six interceptions.

Sandro 7 – Showed good energy and drive throughout, and looked at home alongside Livermore.

Modric 6 – Marginalised a little on the left, and his switching off from the throw-in for the second goal arguably put the game out of our reach. Had some bright moments on the ball, but he was not on it enough.

Adebayor 7 – Worked very hard and scored what was, in my eyes, a perfectly good goal.

Saha 7 – Like Adebayor, he worked very hard to drop into midfield and press Carrick and Scholes.

Defoe 7 – Came on at the 80 minute mark and scored an excellent goal, you can’t argue with that!

Kranjcar 5 – Lacked a little intensity, but it is generally quite difficult to come into a game that late on.
