All in all not too bad

Going to West Brom is never easy, Pullis sets his teams up to defend and to try and nick a goal and it certainly worked today.

They were time wasting from the first 20 minutes, trying to slow the game down and stop our rhythm, it must be awful viewing for the West Brom fans watching such negative football.

First half we were very good and how we didn't go in ahead is all down to Ben Foster and some weak finishing.

Even though we dominated we still lacked the intense press that we played with against City but then again we can't expect such intensity every game, we have to pick and choose.

Sissoko was poor, not brave enough and always playing the safe ball, Lamela was too tippy tappy in around the box, Eriksen a little better but not great.

Wanyama was excellent again and probably our best player. Jannsen back to goal is superb but he isnt doing what we want him to do and that is score goals. He does so much of the dirty work, running the channels he just forgets to get in the box.

Son was lively when he came on and the West Brom defence/midfield struggled to contain him. I know we need to rotate our squad and keep players fresh but if he had started today I'm sure we would have won.

Its an irritating draw but it could have been worse if not for Dele's goal.
Lets just pray Alderweireld's injury isnt as bad as feared .

Poch confirms Toby 100% out of the CL game

Need to make up points on games when we didn't get all 3 last season. This was one of them. Shame.

I think when you've needed an 89th minute equaliser you've got to be happy with the point. Imagine how we'd all be feeling if that dinosaur Pulis had ended our unbeaten start to the Prem. Foster had a blinder but if the finishes are good enough they don't get saved.

Yep I was expecting around 8 or 9 minutes injury time, 5 minutes was no where near enough. It was a travesty that we did not pick up 3 points, we were the only team trying to play football and dominated the game. WBA were time wasting from the first half and just played for set piece opportunities.

Still, we know what to expect against a Pulis outfit and did not lose, but overall 2 points dropped for me.

Fingers crossed Alderweireld has not picked up a bad injury.

COYS

Can only be seen as 2 points dropped and these was the games that cost us last year.

Yes, I agree 200%.
Its typical Spurs to beat teams like Man City and go lose to WBA ..... luckily we drew in the last minute.
And ... we've lost Toby.

Looking at the chances created we should have been out of sight by half time. 20 shots. 1 goal. typical of us really. Point isnt a bad result overall but we drew too many games last season.
