You know what bewilders me? Professional athletes being paid millions of pounds a year, can’t perform well for an hour and a half more than once a week. Dele Alli can become one of the most hyped prospects in the world, without being able to control the ball. Tottenham can go into a season thinking we’ve got enough attacking depth.

Dele's starting to become a conundrum can provide moments magic but as they get fewer the other facets of his game are starting to look average bordering on poor.

ATM looking like David Platt with nutmegs...

Just saw the first goal.. Started watching late. Lloris stood grounded again..

This is doing me crazy.. Couldn't he dive and try? For some sake please...

No chance he's saving that, it looks like an easy one because of the pace of the ball but that was as bottom corner as it gets.

Shouldn't be bringing on subs for the sake of it, especially when they are Sissoko, Dembele and Llorente. What more would they offer in a game like this?

Has Dele sorted out his agent thingy?? Get the fuck sorted if it hasn't. I think it has affected him somehow..

The first half hour was maybe the worst I can recall under Poch. The goal is just horrific. Then we get some clueless slow possession-ball, alongside a non-existent press and work-rate. For large periods West Brom, fucking West Brom of all teams, have just knocked the ball about without a care in the world and were often playing higher up the pitch than us. Incredible.

The closing stages they have been charitable and shelled, and so we've had a tiny morsel of pressure on them. But there are literally no positives from that 45 mins.

Fucking hell I hope it gets better...

When Pool play Chavs you'd have thought we would be up for this game.

CL form masking a poor PL season so far.

I've watched on and off as I'm busy but looks very flat and no intensity at all

Our bench...that’s the gap between us and the oil rich clubs.

Dembele is the only one I would pull on and that might be for Dele.

We are extremely light and until Victor, Lamela are back, as well as the youth getting a chance, we are basically banking on 11 players to win us multiple trophies.
