Good win and first half, so frustrating that we don’t look after the ball better when under the cosh - extra touches and turns etc. just shift it to the spare man ffs! Thought Nunez and Salah were excellent
He was surrounded by Spurs playing 3 defensive Mids. Pleased to see us dig in and grind out that win towards the end, abit more backbone in the players.
He kept them busy to provide Nunez and Salah the space. He also passed it out wide to Robbo that led to the first goal.
we held on which was important but the most important thing was we started quick and actually got the first goal for once .
Alisson 6/10. What a terrible error on ball. Trent 5.5/10. Great passing. Terrible on the basics of body position defending and hugely sloppy.moments coughing up chances. Zero will to block crosses Robertson 6/10. Again no will to block a cross ever. I dont get it. I never have. Dis OK going forward into masses of space Vvd 6/10 alright, not fantastic Konate 6/10 decent, didn't get to kane for goal Fabinho 6/10 OK, not really getting close to them and was gone second half. Thaigo 5/10 no running, no tracking and opened entire left wing to them. Elliott. 6/10 for a few good things going forward but my god he really never puts a foot near a tackle. Nunez 7/10. Worked hard playing lm not lw second half. Lots of frustrating play frankly giving ball away but two shots on target and two passes to salah and one assist from them. Hard work is key imo. Firmino 6/10. Was gone after 55mins. Worked hard in tight spots and closed down with little reward but he was trying. Too any poor passes mind. Salah 7.5/10 two good finishes. Should have completed the hat trick. Worked reasonably hard and didn't give the ball away as much as others did. Overall... spurs got it tactically wrong there first half and conte sent them.out to do more of the same second half but by running harder which we just about crawled past with a bit of luck. Once he had no option but to put an attacker on we just fell apart with tiredness and inability to get out or pass. Jones did nothing to help bit henderson added a little. We held on amd encouraged them to come on putting gomez on for 541. 550 at end With the state of play in the prem we had to try hold.on and we just about managed it.
Gotta chill, just footy. I was hard work when I was young but a few bumps to the head made rethink the importance and now I enjoy the good and tolerate the bad.
