Right side

Tonight, my thoughts...

Caught on the hop with the first goal; defenders facing their own goal again. Pen looked debatable and Alli looked offside from where I was and, if it was a foul, why was Seb still on the pitch - it was 4 yds out? 3rd, looked like a foul on Olsson but why did he run 30 yards towards his own goal instead of putting it in row Z?.

Despite all of that, Spurs were much better. Again, from where I was sat, the ref seemed determined to give us very little (see comment on second and third goal) but what do I know...

Pinto, too many people getting round the back of him, time and time again - Eriksen, Rose, Kane, Alli, ... Naismith was constantly telling him to get back into position; why was Pinto constantly creeping into CB position to cover Kane?

After Jarvis went off, we had a huge hole in front of Olsson - this left us hugely exposed. Even Jerome dropped in there twice to get the ball as there was noone else in that area of the pitch.

Personally, I thought Klose looked quality. Looked very relaxed, was talking a lot, especially to Declan - looks like a future leader. Comfortable on the ball. I even thought he kept Kane fairly quiet for most of the match (in spite of Kane scoring, hitting the post, etc.) - If we had two of him, I'd be happy.

Tettey - 10th? So out for 2 games now?
