    I actually thought that when it deflected Fraser could/should have come and got that.

    Started the game superbly, but been a bit flat since the equaliser.

    That Boufal nutmeg on Sissoko was delicious. Risky, but delicious!

    Yeah. He still doesn't look like he's moving freely, although I don't think he's ever been that keen to come for crosses.

    Jesus Fraser. That's awful.

    Agreed on both fronts. I'd like to see McCarthy given a run once he's fit, firstly because Fraser's form is a bit dicky right now, but also to allow him to recover from whatever niggle he has right now.

    I'd like to see my new favourite Pierre come on for Prowse. He carries the ball more, and it looks like we will be playing on the break!

    Forster needs new legs.

    Not really been that worried apart from every time he tries to kick the ball.

    My judgement is potentially clouded by the volume of Guinness I have partaken in but what a great game! Ding dong.

    Yep. He's not a problem yet but he's not at his best. Lowest save percentage in the league so far this season.

    Actually think JWP is doing a pretty good job of putting himself about and providing good balls going forward.

    Started superbly, Spurs grew into the game, we were forced back a lot and then didn't really have an out ball/much chance of a counter attack.

    No support in the attack still being the biggest issue.

    Yeah, we kinda went into our shells a bit after they scored, which was a shame as the confident, high-press stuff was working and giving them real problems (as it tends to against MP teams as we know).

    Started well, somewhat reverted to type after a while. Doubt the second half will be a goal-fest.
