A very hard game where two personnel made it more difficult than it should be in my opinion.
1) Craig Pawson - A game officiated by a more competent referee would have seen us winning more emphatically. It was not just against us as Fulham too should have had a blatent penalty in the 1st half. Overall his very poor decisions weighted more against us than Fulham.
2) Mauricio Pochetino - His game management and effective use of the players available to him is still questionable. Playing Llorente was like giving Fulham a one extra man advantage, he was that bad. Seriously if we played that game without him and played only ten men, I swear we would have done better. The two goals they scored (one disallowed) were due to him. Then Poch made an absolute stinker of a substitution, taking off Llamela instead of Llorente!
The players that pleased me more than ever and stood up for us were Sanchez against that pr*** Mitrovic, and Rose against Christie. It was a pleasure seeing Rose jumping in to defend Sanchez against Mitrovic (Not that Sanchez could not look after himself).
I hope Levy loosen the purse strings now, now that another soldier Dele will be out with what seems a ham string problem.
But our other Harry was the one who in my opinion being the shortest on the pitch stood the tallest! My MOTM
A very good game another 3 points. Onward and upwards COYS
