An ugly game. Our worse performance this season IMO
It seems we were out Pochinoed by Pulis.

Then Poch takes off Lamela who was our best threat in the 2nd half instead of Eriksen. Bad moveI'm sorry but some absolute shockers out there today. Aldertonghen were terrible, and I'm not sure Kane or Eriksen completed a pass all night.
Horrible performance in shit conditions and the referee did have a stinker, especially second half.
Doesn't excuse most of our team deciding not to turn up.
Dier was especially bad today and can't believe he hasn't been picked out on here. Constantly out of position and lost out on almost every 50-50 he went for, Worst I've seen him this season by a country mile.
Vertonghen needs to be put in a wind simulator and practise judging the flight of the ball because I've never seen a top flight footballer struggle as much as he did today with the conditions... What was it 7,8 times he misjudged it?
Poch killed any momentum we had with the Lamela sub, he seems to select his subs pre-game as I have no idea how he came to the conclusion Erik was the one to take off over Christian 'invisible' Eriksen.
Not his fault but Son once again was completely ineffective and tbh the start to his Spurs career has been vastly overrated. He looks nothing short of awful in premier leagues, bar perhaps Crystal Palace. His time will come, maybe...
Not much Kane could do given how many defenders he was surrounded by, still, that chance did look golden.
Alli scored but actually did next to nothing second half and was rightfully subbed off.
Least we didn't lose but all these draws are looking very ominous.
Going to have to put that performance down to the conditions and Pulis' tactics as I thought we would rock up today given we had a weeks rest.
Oh, and Lloris my MOTM for making it 1 point instead of 0
On the contrary thought Toby bar one time he lost sight of the ball was infinitely more composed than Verts.Lloris saved us again, unbelievable reflex save. Some shitty kicking though. Walker and Rose were the standout players, constantly bailing out the awful cb's. Rose made one of the best tackles I've ever seen and was getting stuck in the whole game. Dier and Vertonghen looked like ghosts of their former selves, Verts especially. Alderweireld was bad but played some gorgeous balls throughout the game. Alli, great goal but couldn't be much influence. Lamela was useful I thought and shouldnt have gone off. Dembele struggled but still did well. Eriksen......pathetic. Kane some good stuff but no room or service.
People wanted Eriksen subbed absolutely has no clue.
Did you forget last season when he saved us +4 times in the +90 min with a goal + his freekicks for all his time at Spurs? If you want him subbed you coulda taken anyone off today because most of our players were so poor. Surely Poch has learned from that mistake. But he made one today by subbing of Lamela for Son.
When we get on the opponents last third we have close to zero width, i just dont understand why Son, Njie, Kane have to be on the outside of the box, and even then they're still not getting in the box when our fullbacks are crossing.
Fullbacks? Crossing? What is this witchery you speak of?
Wingbacks _whatever_.
Especially i the last 10-15 min when we pressed WBA hard.
