This is how i feel the players rated tonight -
Lloris - 8.
Two world class saves and was so quick again of his line. Our MOTM
Walker - 7.5
Kyle is in great form at the moment. His attitude and stamina is first class. His final ball was lacking some times but i thought he was excellent again
Dawson - 5.5
Outwitted too easily by Berbatov who at times had him all ends up. Brave as usual. Turning circle of the Titanic.
Chiriches - 6.5
Coolness personified in possession but his positioning was poor at times. Sweet strike for the goal though
Vertonghen - 6
Lots of commitment but our best CB looks lost at left back. No pace to get up and down. Pray his injury isnt serious.
Sandro - 6
Started brilliantly, but faded a little. Decent
Capoue - 6
A bit sloppy at times. Decent 45 as he gets to full fitness.
Lennon - 6
Again started well but faded. Offers us balance and looked far better when moved back to the right.
Lamela - 6.5
Drifted in and out of the game but some of his dribbles and control were fantastic. Still cant seem to oppose himself on a game. Improving at a steady rate.
Paulinho - 5.5
Excellent against Man u playing behind the striker. so composed setting himself up for that chance and then missed a sitter. Back into CM for the 2nd half but got overrun at times.
Defoe - 6
Worked hard but was too isolated, missed a real good chance when put through.
Subs
Holtby - 7
Tenacious, busy and scored a cracking goal, made things happen. Really like him
Chadli - 5
Hardly touched the ball
Townsend - 6
Sent on by AVB to be a release ball for us to take on the fulham defenders on the counter attack A bit wasteful but was ok.
Your thoughts please boys.

Chicken, I was at the cottage tonight and I agree Lamela drifts in out in spurts at the moment but he was fantastic at certain moments and within time ( getting run of games together) he will prove to be quality just you wait and see. Great result but still not convinced with our performances this season. I honestly think Avb was inches away from getting the boot tonight and that's not my way of doing it but I think if we would of lost that Avb would of gone. We didn't and holtby scored a belter. Love the guys passion and I think Holtbys a fantastic little player. He went absolute nuts at the end to us fans, gem of a guy and player.

Lamela will come good.
He needs four things.
1. patience
2. Minutes
3. with those minutes comes confidence
4. time in the gym (as does Soldado)

Chronic, I am a neutral fan, just my observation. Spurs clearly deserved the win from what I saw on MOTD.

We did deserve the win on chances missed but Fulham hit the wood work twice. We really are not playing well but sit just a few points off 4th. Imagine what we will be like when we eventually click which we will.

Defoe - 6
Ridiculous

We are not going to see the real Lamela until next season (think Bergkamp and Henry in their first PL seasons - they were good but look how much better they got).
The same with Eriksen and even Soldado needs time.
Lamela needs to stick with it and we need to stick with him otherwise his talent will go to waste with us.
