I have to wait until I see the highlights on TV tomorrow or can download the full game from Jamez until I can rate the players and say who is my MOTM...

The commentator sounded like he was wanking to Modric's play.

I voted for Defoe. An assist and a goal.:hump:

Modric by a clear (if very short head).

Really disappointed by Dawson's mistake as he was the outstanding player at the back. He was the only one to spot the poor marking, as several times we left Stoke players free in the box. A real tower in defence, shame about the sloppy ball.

Lennon really is our player of the season and even Bentley had a decent game.

Up front I thought the pair were excellent. 15 shots ON target. If we were a better team we would have really put them to the sword.

To be fair i will allow Dawson that one mistake as he has been awesome in the last five games. Modric was majestic and Zokora should also get some credit for doing his job the way he should do it week in week out.

I thought Pav and Defoe look like they are getting used to each other. Loads of positives and well done Cudicini on his debut.

Modric really was impossibly good.

A tad disappointed that we sat back a bit in the second half when we could have proper spanked them, but hey-ho. I'd have taken 3-1 in a heartbeat at kick-off.

Cudicini - 7 - Looked comfortable at claiming the ball, distribution excellent. Good competition for the No.1 Jersey.

Corluka - 7 - Good support play from Charlie today. Comfortable on the ball as always, won everything and hardly ever lost possession. Good attacking threat.

BAE - 7 - Excellent today. Looked really lively going forward and was sound defensively.

Dawson - 7.5 - Yes it was his pass that led to their goal, but they still had a lot to do to score. Commanding at the back - wins everything with commitment.

Woody - 7.5 - What can I say - he is Mr Dependable. People don't really go on about him that much, but he is such a snip for 8.5m. So good at intercepting the ball and passing it off.

Lennon - 7.5 - Excellent today - although was given an easy time by the full backs really. His direct play caused so many problems for Stoke. Good goal as well!

Bentley - 7.5 - I think this was his best game this season. Did everything that was expected - he worked hard, he took on his man, he hardly lost possession and he just looked so comfortable on the right. Very aware of his team mates tonight.

Zoko - 7.5 - Excellent display from somone who's place is under threat from Palacios. Covered the fullbacks who attacked Stoke, harried Stokes midfield and intercepted really well. Passed it nice and simple too - exactly what we want.

Modric - 9 - Exceptional display from Luka. Showed that he can work in a 4-4-2 tonight with his workrate. Stoke could only foul him to stop him tonight. The ball sticks to him, and he was the reason that our team worked tonight. I think everyone looked at his workrate and wanted to match it. Absolutely brilliant.

Pav - 8 - I thought he was the pick of the strikers tonight. He is becoming a bit like, dare I say it Berbatov in the way he can drop into space, pick the ball up and make things happen. Holds the ball up really well and brings the midfield into the game. I hope Harry keeps him because he is going to be class.

Defoe - 7.5 - Took his goal brilliantly, hassled the defence/goalie all night and linked well with Pav. His awareness is improving, and he is more than a goal scorer - he can bring others into the game. Great vision to pass to Lennon for the first. Personally I don't want Keane back, because this guy is the absolute nuts.

Overall Thoughts

1. Confident display from Tottenham tonight. Retention of the ball was excellent.
2. We attacked with pace tonight. People actually going forward to support the attack as well. Both full backs should be commended for their roles in this.
3. Lennon and Bentley worked really well on both flanks.
4. Modric is a little genius.
5. The whole team put in 100% effort and were rewarded. Every player looked to close Stoke down as quickly as they could.
6. Palacios, King, Chimbonda, Jenas are all coming back soon.

I know it was Stoke. I know that they are not a great team, but they are physical, and work hard. But we were so much better! I am really happy with this display and hope that Harry is too. Keep it up lads!
