No one with control in midfield who can turn with the ball go past players and pass the ball. We had dembele and we got ndombele who has serious fitness issues. Sissoko just isnt the answer. Not one play maker in the side

Losing the ball so easily so constantly running around chasing the ball like headless chickens wearing ourselves out

Awful to watch but leading at HT. Good game and they're a great team, hopefully they cant keep that up all game and we improve in the 2nd.

Comfortable...

Crying out for a Lo Celso or Eriksen

Need a ball player to come on

Vertonghen getting absolutely murdered down his side, Son has to help him out, and the midfield just cannot put two passes together.

Dier done okay though

I thought that’s why we bought Lo Celso. Don’t know what’s going on there

We are bunched up in the middle and you can see Son just coming inside a lot. If you look at Djota and Docherty, they hog the touchlines, offering different options to their attack.

We are way too narrow and keep running into their midfield.

Dont have a midfield who can hold the ball, Mourinho will bring on Eriksen soon

Getting smashed

Shame we ain’t got either isn’t it?

The pace of the game is ridiculous

If Dier skuffs that half volley we would be 2 up

We`ve defended reasonably well, Sanchez and Aurier have been poor, Dier has dropped back in well but can`t pass wind. Good goal from Lucas and Dier should have scored, Kane should have had a pen after being Rugby tackled

No competition that one. One has pace and the other doesn't. Son deffo needs to back him up but Son doesn't seem to know how to tackle or use his body.

It is these sort of games Kane goes missing. Needs to up his game 2nd half.

If he brings eriksen on after that performance in midweek (and the rest of the season to be fair) I’ll be fuming. Just play someone who wants to play for us

No spurs sub till 70th minute when they've already scored 1 or 2.

Just showed how much Dembele carried this team.
I remember us loosing him early ironically at Wolves to injury and he barely featured much thereafter.
I mean the guy made Dier look good. What a player.

We have been good on the counter but boy are we being put under immense pressure. I honestly don’t think our defence are good enough to hold all game unless we get a 2nd.

It's the pace and energy we used to show under poch that disappeared 18 months ago
