Yesterday, I posted a rubbish, nothingy blog; fuelled only by the belief
that I simply had to update the site to prove to readers that Taxi For
Maicon hasn't run out of gas.
The offending post - which you can read below but I would recommend against
it - laboured over a few warbled points before concluding nothing in
particular so, to the 10 readers who logged on yesterday, I apologise.
Nobody ever won anybody over by sitting on the fence and, at a time when
updates have been scarce, Taxi For Maicon needs to win over readers.
In a similar fashion, no team with their head somewhere else ever won a
football match. Spurs' recent Premier League results, let's not sugarcoat
it, have been terrible; no wins in four games against the division's bottom
four teams. A run of games doesn't come much more friendly than that and we
have three points to show for it.
On Saturday, Spurs played a game of sit-on-the-fence football, seemingly
saving themselves for tonight's most prestigious affair keeping one nervous
eye on the ball and the other on not getting injured and it is an attitude
that undermines the success of reaching the last eight of the Champions
League.
I'm not naysaying or whining, I'm just saying that Tottenham have not been
playing like worthy challengers and that needs to stop - tonight. The last
eight is neither the time or the place for hesitation.
We got our current European reputation by attacking with pace, power and
intelligence, so we need to rediscover the game that got us here.
It doesn't matter if we win or lose the tie, everyone knows what we've
achieved; but to go down with a whimper and not give it 'a real go' would
be a disservice to our European campaign.
If this is what the players have been waiting for then here we go... It's time to climb down off the fence and stand up and be counted.
