Yeah well done Spurs!

Even though we've played 18 games in 4 days we still had the stamina to come good when they tired.

Well Done Eriksen, Kane and Davies. (and the others but particularly those 3)

We'll come through this period of loadsa games a much stronger team.
18 games in 4 days? Why didn't nobody tell me?!

Im not so sure he did as well, Swansea were knackered at the end. Before the sub the pressure from them was starting to fade. They were actually getting in more dangerous positions but montero and routledge were getting sloppy in possession and as soon as bony went off they looked a team that knew they weren't going to score today

They huffed and puffed but they couldn't get that goal they probably deserved
He just looked a little more composed IMO, Mason was throwing himself about too much and his passing was not as good as it has been. Personally felt a bit more assured with Benji in there.

Perhaps we should be playing Kane up top with Eriksen just behind. There is a reason we got dominated today, yes we didn't defend well, but maybe we'd be more robust with Eriksen playing further forward with a more combative midfield behind........

Dembele did well off the bench but the problem with him is that you never know when your going to see another good performance from him. He's so inconsistent.

In what way is our poor defensive performance his fault?

...we won this game despite Lamela - so wasteful in possession, does not track back effectively, can't challenge without fouling, can't even clear the ball to relieve pressure...should be benched indefinitely, along with his buddy Soldoodoo...

The only real problem I have is that MP will say that he is doing the right thing because, hey, we won again and he'll basically keep on with whatever his plan is.

Mason was very poor but his role is essentially to link the play between defence and attack. He would make the run as soon as he moved the ball forward, the AM 3 could keep the ball for shit so he would be caught out

Mason was poor but the AM played a big part in that
