Lloris - no real chance with the goal - saved our bacon on a one-on-one situation after
Naughton - meh
Jan - off pace
Dier - average
Davies - bit all over the place
Townsend - tries to do too much, flatters to deceive
Holtby - too many touches
Benteleb - only one looking to move the ball effectively
Paulinho - sluggish / disinterested
Kane - along with Benteleb our brightest player
Solaldo - meh

Just come in - assume we've been shite?!

Still expect us to win though or at least nab a draw.

I don't think we've played that badly-I think this is how these players always play.When are people going to realise that this is the level of ability they have? This is how they play week in week out. I'm sick to the back teeth of being told 'they have potential' and 'we need a proper coach'- it's pure rubbish! These players are not good enough for Tottenham. It's why I was so hopeful the story about ten being up for sale was true. The whole thing is an absolute mess.

Watching this and reading both MS and MM deals may have fallen through really feels me with joy.

:sorry:

You're a fucking helmet if you can't see that since Walker has been injured, he's been good at RB.

You probably just decided what you think of him, and nothing will change your mind and you'll choose what to see.
Yeh he was class against Southampton at the lane your right, actually I'm struggling to think of him having a good game ?

Just looks like the same old to me. Able to hold on to the ball well enough but not being able to create clear chances.
Pretty much the same story since about, oh, January 2012. Every team struggles with this to some extent, and it's very tough to put into words exactly the issue, but we simply don't exploit space quick enough. We're ponderous and lack the top quality and precision when we do get into the correct positions. Simply put, we just aren't at an acceptable level in terms of passing, interplay, and movement. Hopefully Poch sees this and makes changes.

It's quite remarkable how we have managed to be like this for so long with the players we have. It's literally like trying to get blood from a stone.

Pitch is not exactly conducive to quick intricate passing. (if you can see that through your vaseline based streams)

and any miscontrol and they're right on top of us.

and the pitch has shown up the touch of lots of players in the first half.

Ok so if I dial back by 50% how badly everyone is playing I should have a true reflection of how the game has gone so far.

Thanks arm chair warriors! Keep me posted!!

Ring rusty players, new players, new team very disjointed play. Kane and Andros bright, Bentaleb started OK but fading. Most of their attacks succeeding on our left. Soldado...mmmmm what to do with him?
Gotta take into account poor pitch and very warm but I fancy us to score
