It was positives all the way for Martin Jol after our 6-1 demolition of
Anorthosis Famagusta in the UEFA Cup first round, first leg at the Lane on
Thursday night.
Younes Kaboul started the ball rolling with a goal inside
five minutes before Michael Dawson, Robbie Keane and Darren Bent scored within
minutes of each other to make it a resounding 4-0 at the break.
Jermain Defoe
then stole the show in the second half with a sweet double-strike - a clever
chip over the keeper from 20 yards before a powerfully-struck curler into the
top corner to complete the scoring in injury time. The only slight
disappointment was Famagusta's goal, but it should prove immaterial.
"I
told the players after the draw was made that we were pretty happy but you never
know, you still have to do it," reflected Martin.
"You have to score your
goals and not concede - that was the only annoying thing, to concede that
goal.
"On the other hand, there were only positives out there. Benoit
Assou-Ekotto had a very good game, his first game for a while, Aaron Lennon
started for the first time this season and all my strikers scored.
"I had a
fellow on the bench and it was typical for him to come on and score like that -
that was all about his eagerness.
"Jermain made an impact and that's what I
had in mind, that's why I put him on.
"The strikers have to make the
difference and if they do that, there is no problem at all. Robbie Keane could
have scored three, Darren Bent scored his goal and Berbatov was on the
bench.
"If they can push each other and prove themselves all the time then
they'll make it difficult for me, but there are no guarantees for any player. I
look at each game seperately."
