We were playing with 9 men when Wijnaldum and Oxlade-Chamberlain came on, utterly pathetic from them and to think people wanted them started.

Milner and Henderson lack the quality as everyone knows but at least they are prepared to get stuck in and stand up to the task.

At 1-1 i was thinking who the hell can we bring on to get us a goal? Answer was no one. We are going to need to get some quality attackers to replace countinho in the summer.

We should buy dembele over from them. Felt like everytime he ran at our midfielders its as if they were invisible. Henderson and Milner had to be two of the slowest guys on the pitch today.

I don't know why we removed a midfielder for a CB, we needed to keep the midfield packed but changed Milner for Ox. Yes Mane was not great but he was putting lots of pressure unlike Ox who was invisible on the left. We were shyte today, as we have been since the City game, it's Salah who was outstanding and could have won it single handedly.

By the time we fix midfield salah will be gone.

Did you put a bet on ?

No. I decided to stick to my principals and continue to make wrong decisions for the rest of my life.

We were quite wasteful on the final balls as well, we could have got a few more goals in the first half but the final balls were poor.

I thought overall defensively we did pretty well considering the pressure Tottenham put us under, Karius had a decent game, a few good saves and clearances, just wish he would have tried to catch the cross that he punched out to Wangyama, typical his luck to get punished by a worldy.

VvD had a good game until he missed the headed clearance for the 2nd goal, then panicked and lashed out, but our MF did not protect the back 4 enough second half, we missed Hendersons running when he got took off, Tottenham played well second half and dominated play, so a draw is probably the fair result, but being a goal up with 2 minutes to go, we cannot concede like that.

The substitutions were dire, and the lack of quality in our passing and crosses tell its own story. We missed Coutinho today.

Usually we don't do much to help ourselves in defence. Today wasn't an exception.


First half was ours, second half Spuds'. All in all a pretty fair result. But the refs did help Spuds quite a bit, no doubt about that.
