Someone please, please enlighten me as to why he is so highly regarded by Redknapp? One of the most infuriating players of the season. Absolutely no physical presence, no vision on the ball and an embarrassing reluctance to get stuck in. At times it's like watching a 12 year-old run around aimlessly in the centre of the pitch. One moment yesterday summed him up: receives the ball in a decent position on the left flank and then slices it into the stand like a Sunday League player. He is just shocking. Start him in the play-offs and we'll just get overrun in midfield. What on earth does the old toad see in him? Could it be a dodgy 'arrangement' with Spurs I wonder? I just can't understand how he is the first name on the team sheet every week.

Going into the play offs my major concern is will Rednapps loyalties to certain players be our undoing in the playoffs???? I fear it could be as he will find a way to fit Dunne, BAE and Carroll into the side i.e. I have no doubt if its a toss up for back two between Dunne, Hill and Nedum he will drop Nedum to keep Dunne in the 11

What is most irritating about him, other than the constant misplaced passes, is his habit of slowing every attacking move down. There was one moment yesterday in the second half when he received the ball in space on the right-hand side with Austin and Morrison charging forward. What did he do? Yep, turned round and passed it sideways. I know he's young but I really do ****ing hate the way he plays.

I still maintain that Tom Carroll (and I admit he has not been as good as I'd hoped he would be) gets a disproportionate amount of stick compared to other midfielders.
Just my opinion, and will be irrelevant in a few games when he goes back to Spurs. I still think he'll carve out a very good career.
