Lamela - Decent. Positive, energetic and unlucky not to score. The bobble before he shoots has had a big impact I feel and I do think he scores if it runs true to him

Ahh at last someone has mentioned this .

1st Half - Our self destruct button continues to be pressed with Trippier the guilty party. Although you could argue that the blame could be laid at Poch's feet for picking him ahead of Aurier, the current popular choice. Kevin Friend the ref was definitely not our friend in this half.
2nd Half - A much better half where I saw the glimpses of the "old Tottenham" of two seasons ago especially in the last 25 minutes or so. We may have lost this game but it wasnt the walk over as most predicted, and I personally feel more encouraged for the rest of the campaign.
Just to give the Sissoko haters something to moan about, I am giving him MOTM, with Lamela, Winks, Dele and Toby as close contenders
Wasn't there a Robert Redford film about this?I agree with you slightly. I mean I'd suck cock for 8.5m a year but Poch is ambitious and I can appreciate his frustration. The one thing that will continuously be aimed at him is that he hasn't won anything but how can he when ie isn't given the tools.
Ok dude. No need to explain yourself. I was just toying with you ?Lamela has offered something this season and been one of our better players. I used that comment only in relation to the players for whom Pochettino is blind to their constant ineptitude.
When you say "nothing against Sissoko personally" suggests it is personal to you. You just refuse to admit that he is or can be much better than most like you with your obvious bias, give him credit for. The man did well and had it been Dier or Dembele who had performed like that instead of Sissoko, they too would have been given MOTM.Nothing against Sissoko personally, but when he gets motm, you know weainthave not played great,cosbecause when all our players play totheretheir ability he wouldn't be that prevalent
I wish I could "winner" this more than once!Easily Sissoko. Just such a pity he couldnt pick out someone in the first half but he deserves a run in the team now.
As does Winks, who did really well when he came on. Progressive passing, surging forward and really competitive in the tackle. Its time for this lad to run our midfield, we need a new engine and this kid is it. Must start most games now.
Sanchez was also very good.
Overall we played well, a big improvement on past league performances this season. Have to cut out the individual errors at the back and of course work on being more ruthless by taking more chances.
We deserved a draw from that, but I'm certainly encouraged.
Winks and Sissoko should get a run now. Dembele has been tremendous for so long but he looked like he was running in cement out there tonight and the difference was startling when Winks came on. Should be used as an option to close games out.
Sissoko obviously lacks technical ability and composure but he still offers more than Dier and Dembele, the way they have been playing, like he did tonight.
Time for Pochettino to make some changes to his first team, and Tripps in the bigger games is a no no. Its alright when we're dominating, his attacking qualities are a great asset but in closer games he gets exposed over and over again.
Time for Poch to mix it up.
I am saying when everyone plays to the top of there ability, Sissoko would not ever be considered for a motm, as other players qualities outshine his limited footballing ability. Nothing against him, as on Monday he was the only one who showed up and played to his best.When you say "nothing against Sissoko personally" suggests it is personal to you.
