If you cannot see the mistake from Gallas you really need to look again from the moment the ball left Terry's foot Gallas was to tight and was watching Drogba not the ball
it wasnt clear where he was going at all until he took his touch.
=====================================
On the contrary, Drogba's body position indicated a shift to the left. Sticking that close to the forward is just asking to be wrong footed.
The RDBD only counts woodwork hits as on-target when the ball then goes towards/across the goal line.
as terry strikes the ball...sit a half yard off the striker...feel for him with your arm....

Im with SKA on this one, its the only move Drog does and he couldve at least expected it and not be called so flat footed.
all a defende could have done was lunge to block the shot.
he'd have had to have been the fastest most athletic defender of all time to have done that. does it make gallas guilty because he isnt that ?
no.

Grandspur - I say again - this is Drogba, not Heskey.
Watch the strike again - amazing, unstoppable and completely out of the blue.

You shouldn't let the ball bounce as a cb. Gallas should of gone in for the original long ball and king should have swept behind
=================================
If King had been there, fine. However, Gallas was completely alone versus Drogba so shouldn't have been in the position to be easily out manoeuvred.

Yes and read again he should never have been given the chance to shoot, the ball should never have been allowed to bounce for a start
Call me mystic but would you have said the same? I'm not focusing on gallas today or any individual, I'm talking about spurs as a whole

Drogba went for the player, not the ball originally that was 100% him at fault as he let Drogba win it and have the chance to produce something like that.
Well ok you lot are right.
Gallas is rubbish.
Drogba was lucky.
We're crap.
A wonder-strike out of the blue that having a world class striker gives you.
we really need this....if they loose this..off the back of this poor run...they wont recover imo...
Luke, a Tottenham fan, on Lennon not taking a fall in the Chelsea area: "That's the reason players make a deal out of a penalty shout. Like it or not, Lennon should have done the same as Young.
I swear we are cursed as a club no joke
what about parker ?
awesome performance so far.
