The home game was defeated by Birmingham with six to one, and it was achieved when the main attackers such as Klose, Ronaldo, Robben, and Drogba were not on the court. The shocking effect caused by such a result was naturally extraordinary. After learning the news, almost all the English media gave Tottenham a high evaluation, believing that it has great hope of becoming the league championship at the end of the season!

To be able to win a big victory without the main players being in shape, Tottenham's overall strength and bench depth have been fully proved. In contrast, both Chelsea and Manchester United have a considerable gap with Tottenham in both aspects. This means that when the schedule becomes more intensive, Tottenham will have more advantages than its two competitors!

At the same time, Birmingham, who lost and lost in this game, was unexpectedly criticized by overwhelmingly. Especially Martin Taylor, who used the killing move behind the scenes, was severely condemned by the media and fans, and the genius Van Basten was destroyed by his black feet and had to retire in his prime. The fact that Martin Taylor's actions undoubtedly violated everyone's taboos, reminding them of that past!

Although the Premier League has always been famous for its fierce confrontation and fierce fighting, this does not mean that the FA and the Premier League will ignore such vicious incidents. Back then, those who are famous like Roy Keane were suspended for three games for maliciously kicking Haaland (Note: Although the fact is that Haaland deceived everyone, he returned to the court in a lively manner within two seconds after Keane was sent off, and then represented the Norwegian national team in the mid-week friendly match). What's more, Martin Taylor, a guy who has no background in English football, has created a big news that almost ruined the reputation of the Premier League?

A four additional ban was fined 20,000 pounds. For Martin Taylor, who has not even secured the main position in Birmingham, this is definitely an extremely severe punishment!

Unlike fans who were ecstatic about Tottenham's performance, George did not show much happiness for this big victory. He knew very well that although Tottenham successfully maintained the lead over Chelsea in the standings after the end of this game, the team also paid a very tragic price for this - Robben's ankle ligament injury will be absent for at least one month's game, Davis, who rushed into the court without authorization and was sent off by a red card, was sentenced to one additional ban. Alonso and Mascherano, who received yellow cards, also announced that they would miss the next round of the league due to accumulating yellow cards!

Although Tottenham's bench is the best in the Premier League, even if it sends a full substitute lineup, it is enough to deal with some mid- and lower-level clubs, in this way, George has to use some surprises and killer moves in advance that he intended to hide and wait for the critical moment to use. At the same time, other players have to increase their playing time and consume more physical strength to make up for the negative impact of Robben and others' absence, thus laying many hidden dangers for Tottenham's future.

In other words, the stronger Tottenham is now, the more trump cards it will be exposed, and the more players will consume. When the time enters April and the season enters the sprint stage, Tottenham, whose potential has been drained and whose trump cards have been exposed, is very likely to fall down the moment before reaching the finish line due to lack of succession!

The most important thing is that the injuries of Robben and Drogba made Tottenham's original strong attack line very tight. Among the few frontcourt players who can play now, only Klose and Cristiano Ronaldo can ensure stable performance. Although the remaining ones, Larson, Alshaven and Lennon have their own strengths, their abilities are still insufficient compared to the main players, and their competitive state is not stable enough. Therefore, after Robben and Drogba are injured, Tottenham's attacking firepower will inevitably decline to a certain extent!

Obviously, how to ensure the team's continuous output on the offensive end while two people are injured will become the number one problem that George needs to solve during this period!

George's concerns soon became a reality: in the 19th round of the Premier League three days later, facing West Bromwich, who was also fighting for relegation, Tottenham, who lacked two generals Drogba and Robben, had no choice but to get the iron barrel lineup set up by Brian Robson, and finally got a draw and a point from the bottom team!

At the peak, Al Shavin does have the ability to decide the outcome of a game, but at this time, not only has he not reached the level of the "tsar" in his previous life, but his competitive state is not stable enough. In the words of Tottenham fans, it means: "When he is in good condition, he is a world-class superstar, and when he is in bad condition, he looks like an amateur player."

A player like this who is in a state of ups and downs, and when he is in rotation, he can't see any problems. If he is the main force, the Russians' shortcomings will be exposed. In this game, Arshavin, who is in a state of sluggishness, was unable to create much threat. He only knew that Lennon, who was breaking through, was not the opponent of West Bromwich's veteran, which led to the opponent being able to concentrate his troops to block the middle, greatly reducing Tottenham's threat on the offensive end!

It was raining all night long. Before George could come up with a countermeasure, the 20th round of the Premier League match with Newcastle arrived as scheduled. Sones, who was inspired by Brian Robson, followed suit, locked the Tottenham's attack line with the same tactics, and took away a point from the White Hart Lane Stadium with a tough defense!

In this game, although George sent Ronaldo and Arshavin to partner with both wings to try to solve this problem, the Russians obviously have not been used to the days without a winter break. In addition, Larson, who is the starting center, is not in shape, and Ronaldo, who is alone, can only shake his head and sigh!

The league draws two consecutive games! Tottenham's unexpected loss of points in two consecutive games with West Bromvic and Newcastle gave Chelsea the opportunity to overtake. Faced with this great opportunity, Mourinho and Chelsea players were not ruthless and beat Manchester City and Birmingham cleanly. After the 20th round of the Premier League, overtaking Tottenham with a two-point advantage and won the throne of the league leader!

There is a saying that goes: Fortune is unparalleled, misfortune never comes alone. Just as George tried to adjust the player's condition and let the team walk out of the shadow of the lost league top as soon as possible, a not-so-great news came from the FIFA headquarters in Zurich, Switzerland. The votes from the head coaches and captains of the national teams and the international professional football team union have ended. Ronaldinho defeated Ronaldo and Lampard and won the 2005 World Footballer of the Year!
