Davies never played a forward pass all game..Eriksen and Davies stood out for me, the rest average

That Eriksen rating is a joke right ?!Okay so I'll try:
Lloris - lost the ball twice in the air but saved us with one wonder save. Overall he can do better - 5.5
Dier - he just isnt a right back and hopefully he isnt losing confidence or getting frustrated. Had his problems with Brady at times and couldnt do something upfront. Not his fault - 5
Fazio - well...some dodgy moments in first half, few good header clearances and more comfortable when not tested in sceond half. Still an underwhelming signing so far - 5.5
Vertonghen - hm...won us the red card, on the ball our best defender but not always enough willness to deal with it better - 6
Davies - I thought a solid game for Ben who deserves a few more starts. - 6.5
Dembele - can't protect defense, can't create, so much talent....wasted - 5
Mason - Did a fine job, you just see he cares more than others. He is one of our lot and hopefully he can get better defensively and become a leader. - 7
Eriksen - Thanks for the free kick and the goal...other than that you would say not enough and I think he doesnt track back with enough intensity and willingness to close down. - 7
Lamela - I am very patient with him but sometimes he just confuses me with what he does. Sometimes he needs so much time on the ball and prefer to run in a wall of defenders or he misplaces the easiest of passed. And sometimes there is a moment of fluid creativity and brillance. But for what I expected not enough and he serious has to up his game and start scoring in the league. - 6
Soldado - Was very patient with him as well. Still more happy to see him than Ade in the line up, but isnt he just laughable in front of goal? Just a shame. Would love to love him, but sorry, terrible... - 4.5
Kane - Scored. Again. That is what a striker most of all is about. Other than that not overly useful today but so far I am fine with Kane and he deserves to start more than any other player. - 6
Chiriches - Funny player, but I always thought more suited right back. He actually had very good moments on the right. Put in a very good cross and filled the room with width. Still under pressure a joke and loses the ball far to easily. As long as Walker is out he can play there, but won't cry a tear when he leaves in January. - 6.5
Lennon - Best game this season so far by him. But that wasn't difficult. He could even be more productive on the right but at least someone was out there. - 6.5
Paulinho - Mighty game changer - 11
It is a game of two halves.That Eriksen rating is a joke right ?!
Some really idiotic comments in here and some people who seem to want us to lose. We won away 75pc possession all be it against 10 men. No surprise we player better away if some of you Muppets go to home games.
btw, I know players often look better in a mediocre side but Livermore looks like one that got away.

Lloris - Who wouldnt be jittery playing behind that lot
Dier - What happened to the rampaging full back from Upton Park?
Davies - Close between him and Rose
Fazio - Is he an upgrade on Dawson?
Verts - Going through the motions
Dembele - What does he actually offer?
Mason - Drive and passion
Lamela - Glimpses of quality. We should expect more for 30M
Eriksen - Needs to be played centrally
Kane - Whilst he keeps scoring his weaknesses don't matter
Soldado - Poacher my arse
Chriches - Makes me nervous but did well
Lennon - Gave us width and looked dangerous
Paulinho - Need shot of him

THIS. The raging hard-on amongst some for Lamela is ludicrous...he is consistently average (at best). How much slack does he get??! I said a while back that I honestly cannot see what qualities he'll bring that come even close to justifying his price tag (not that the £30m is his fault, I appreciate), and it resulted in a number of periods being brought on. He seems bizarrely slow, frequently rubbish at crossing the ball, doesn't have a box of tricks and is more one-footed than Billy One-Leg. Were he a academy product, or a stop-gap this'd perhaps be fine (in the short term), but for someone who we broke the bank for, it's nowhere near good enough.
The same things were said about Bale and Modric.THIS. The raging hard-on amongst some for Lamela is ludicrous...he is consistently average (at best). How much slack does he get??!

Nobody wants us to lose.
But we were toilet again for most of the game yesterday and all the evidence from the opening 50 minutes suggested we would have lost if Ramirez hadn't got involved.
I agree that the players need to be supported at the matches, but let's not dress up yesterday as some sort of glorious success. We just about beat 10 man Hull and even against 10 men we weren't exactly carving them open.
We should be happy with the three points, but it's more than fair enough to be worried by yet another relatively insipid performance.
Because he just arrived and has to settle in properly in a team that has been wobbling all over the place.Poch, like many others (including me), has thankfully realised that Rose has been good so no, he's not going to be sold. If you were right, why has Davies only started one game in the PL (yesterday)?
I don't think its papering over the cracks - a lazy label IMO. We know there are problems at the moment, but there's also some hope for optimism, if Pochettino can get the right blend of players pulling in the same direction.
The recent itk is a light in the fog though.Nobody wants us to lose.
