"Paulinho 5". Why do some people refuse to recognise that a player had a good game?Lloris 8- 1 world class save.
Walker 6- Good going forward.. Shaky defensively.
Vertonghen 7- Besides Costas tap in, was well marshalled.
Fazio 7- Gave away Chelskis 2nd goal. Otherwise good.
Rose 7- Hazzard torched him, scored from a rebound off post.
Townsend 6- No end Product.
Bentaleb 7- Did well. Kept tempo high.
Mason inc- injury
Eriksen 8- Linked well with Kane.
Chadli 9- Good finish. Set up a penalty.
Kane 10- 2 very well taken goals. Ran his socks off. Won a penalty.
subs
Dembele 7- He kept it simple for once.
Davies 7- Rather him than Rose.
Paulinho 5
Every player gets arse raped by Hazard. He destroys almost every defender he plays against. In this instance, I certainly believe it was a case of Hazard being exceptional, rather than Rose or Walker being very poor. Saying that, I still think we gave him too much space but when he's directly against one player, Hazard usually wins.Kane 10 - outstanding.
Chadli 9 - excellent game and pipped to MoM by Kane's superb performance.
Bentaleb 8 - shaky start with some dodgy passing but grew into the game and held his own against Matic and Fabregas.
Eriksen 8 - involved in most of our attacks, plenty of closing down and looked very dangerous in his free role. Only negative was his poor corners.
Lloris 8 - produced an excellent save from Azpilicueta, let's call him Dave, easier to spell. Looked solid and couldn't do anything about the Chelsea goals.
Dembele 7 - good in possession, and I actually saw him running around, even late in the game. Needs to work on his tackling though.
Vertonghen 7 - the best of our defenders by a long shot. Kept going all the way to the end and made some key interceptions.
Davies 7 - a breath of fresh air, a lot more solid than Rose and other than fitness, I'm still bemused as to why he didn't start.
Paulinho 6 - showed lots of energy and looked interested, a decent performance.
Townsend 5 - took his penalty well but my only other recollection of Andros was him show boating at 4-2, setting up a Chelsea counter attack. My prayers were soon answered as he was subbed seconds later.
Walker, Fazio, Rose 4 - for as good as our attackers were, this lot were horrendous at the back. Sloppy in possession, switching off and not playing to the whistle, being out of position and in Rose's case, getting arse raped by Hazard. Thank God we scored 5 as the high line produced a comedy of errors.
Mason n/a - hope he's ok.
Poch 8 - Positives: counter attacking tactics, allowing Eriksen to have a free role, actively encouraging the team through out the game, very good subs. Negatives: Starting out of sorts Rose instead of in form Davies, playing out of form Townsend whom once again offered very little other than a well taken penalty. Persisting with the high line despite Hazard and co tormenting our defence all game, and allowing the full backs to keep attacking, leaving Fazio and Verts exposed to a Chelsea counter attack.
One goal and three assists in a spurs win............against Chelsea. Not good enough?How is anyone here saying Chadli had a great game?? He was alright and did some OK things but a majority of the time he slowed play down and lost the ball on numerous occasions when an easy pass was on. Not slating him, I am very happy about todays win but he's played better.
Kane was unbelievable and Vertonghen did very well. Eriksen with some fantastic little touches, guy really is a genius.
This. He has been good in recent matches and was very good today. Had a hand in Chadli goal, good energy, worked hard and always used the ball well. Some people have just decided that he's rubbish and it won't matter how well he plays."Paulinho 5". Why do some people refuse to recognise that a player had a good game?
Not everything needs to be relative. When i drink coffee i drink it out of a cup, whether or not you agree the cup exists is immaterial. You cant have watched the same game if you think Chadli underperformed.Just to clarify, I didn't say he was shit. He played fine but he's had better games in my opinion. Thats all but if you disagree thats fine. Im glad we all think differently otherwise life would be shit.

Chelsea will do that to teams...Hazard's an excellent player but it was school boy stuff from Rose for the 1st goal.
Offensively we were outstanding but the amount of individual mistakes at the back was ridiculous.
For the first goal, Yes. But my point is that I find it difficult to put too much blame on players who get skinned by Hazard because he's so good.Hazard's an excellent player but it was school boy stuff from Rose for the 1st goal.
