First of all, great to put the pikeys back in their place. What a foul, unpleasant, annoying bunch.
Dier was fantastic, he has amazing composure and looks so confident and assured, especially for a 20 year old.
Kaboul had a bit of a mixed bag, did some good things but his terrible sloppiness nearly cost us on at least two occasions.
Danny Rose - solid performance, much improved on last season.
Interesting to see how the three behind the striker were positioned. Eriksen starting more on the right. They all seem to have been given a lot of freedom by Poch.
Other than that it was by no means a great performance. The Naughton sending off was extremely harsh and this did not help us.
We got the job done and you'll take three points away from home however they come.

I'm by no means a Rose fan or Walkers for that matter but today he did ok.
I was at the game against Chicago and Rose was the worst player on the field by a country mile. Just hope Davies turns out to be half decent and Yedlin is a no brainer at RB next year.

Dier did OK, but would rather have a traditional RB.

To be honest I might play Dier up front next game the way he took that chance
He is obviously better one on one than Adebayor

Talking to a West Ham mate who was at the game, he reckons the difference was when West Ham had the extra man they didn't go on the attack, but when West Ham went down to ten Spurs took the initiative and went for the win.
Very encouraging signs. I really think we've got a top manager. Give him some time to implement his style and we'll be top 4 challengers.

very very optimistic
