Main observations having been at the match last night:
Why did we set up so defensively in midfield? Capoue AND Sandro, why?
Jan just does not want to play LB, he hates it. Why can't Chiriches play there? (he's quick enough)
Holtby is a very lucky boy. After he came on, all he did was look busy (with no end product), passed backwards sideways or to an opponent. Then he scores a screamer and has the Spurs faithful singing his name. Very jammy.
Lamela is still a bit of a luxury, compared to Townsend who is more Premier League battle hardened. EL should be used sparingly in the Prem fo a while.
Defoe, at best, offers no more options than Soldado.
Clattenberg is one of the worst refs in the Prem. He's in love with himself and too picky, doesn't let the game flow.
We are so easy to defend against by parking the bus, as no one can pick a pass other than maybe Eriksen (injured), Dembele or Sigurrdson (not used). Two long range thunderbolts bailed us out thankfully.

It's quite nice to have SOMEONE looking busy!

Holtby changed the game. We moved the ball around quicker when he was on, he was always moving, finding space, closing down. He even played some nice direct balls, creating attacking opportunities.
His goal was far from jammy and he deserved it.
What a joke of an article.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion and I called it as I saw it. I don't think Holtby changed the game for us, he came on at HT and buzzed around playing short untreatening passes, which is exactly what most fans have been complaining about. We need incision.
I think telling a fellow Spurs supporter to F O, or calling them a P is plain ignorant.

I think you are very wrong personally Granola, but respect your opinion nonetheless

======================
they still won quite a few midfield battles as well.
on that basis though, maybe it's a good job we did have some steel there.
