some puns for you fish heads:
The one thing that Jenas gives Spurs is penetration. He's a player who you can't turn your back on for second - because he'll be in there, making a nuisance of himself deep into your area. I've often wondered whether he could play in the hole behind a big man upfront.
I remember admiring the way he bent in the equalizer against man u earlier in the season - and ruing the fact that he played for the other side. He keeps the play fluid with his interchange - knowing when to give and when to receive - and he's not afraid to get his hands dirty putting himself about until the opposition is spent.
Perhaps what's most impressive about him is his head. He's not intimidated by opposition players trying to get on top of him - on the contrary, he seems to relish riding a strong tackle. And regardless of going in front or going behind, he just keeps on puffing away.
