Player ratings v Boro (A)

Good evening lads.

Another excellent win with a superb first half display. We should have been out of sight by HT but a mixture of poor finishing and awful ref decisions kept Boro in with a chance.
We lost our control for the last half an hour but we saw out the game. It really should have been a more comprehensive victory and the score line flattered the home side. There was a huge gulf in class and this was a Spurs side missing Rose, Dier, Dembele and Kane.

Here are my ratings for today -

Lloris - 7 Quick off his line as usual. Kicking was better today.

Walker - 7 Vey good first half where he played almost as a winger but was restricted from going forward so much in the 2nd half. Silly handball for the free kick that led to the Boro goal though.

Alderweireld - 7.5 Makes the game look so easy. Very assured as usual and again pinged some brilliant diagonal passes.

Vertonghen - 7 Like his partner was very assured and bought the ball forward with his usual confidence.

Davies - 6 Did ok, passing was a bit scruffy in the 2nd half.

Wanyama - 7.5 Probably his best game so far in a Spurs shirt imo. Was an absolute beast in midfield and passed the ball intelligently.

Alli - 7 Was excellent first half and at the centre of everything that was very good in the first half. Missed a sitter just before HT and was a bit hit and miss with his passing at times in the 2nd half.

Sissoko - 6 Worked the right channel well and his powerful running cause Boro problems but his final pass was poor at times. Thought he was fouled for their goal but he still should have been stringer against Gibson.

Eriksen - 7.5 First half brilliant, he was everywhere, nicking the ball, incisive one twos. 2nd half he run out of steam a bit.

Son - 8 MOTM again. Excellent display especially in the first half. 2 Brilliant goals and his pace and skill caused Boro so many problems.

Janssen - 7 Failed to hit the target again but his work rate is second to none. His link up play with the supporting midfielders was a joy to watch at times.

Subs -

Lamela - 6 Thought he was a bit sloppy when he came on. His nutmeg that drew a foul late on was absolute class though.

Winks 6 - Bought on to help the team keep possession in the closing minutes. Looked tidy in the few touches he had.

N'Koudou - 7 Did well when he came on. He pressed well and was a great outlet with his pace.
