    How the hell was that a foul by Rickie?

    Shuffle required I feel, Rickie really doesn't seem himself. Not sure about sticking Jay up top alone in this one either. Wouldn't mind seeing Gallagher on early in the second half just to shake things up.

    Rickie has been pretty **** again, wonder how much we'll see of Gallagher? Or will JWP come on and Rodriguez go up top?

    Well, we're not really playing well enough. Spurs have packed the middle of the pitch and we keep trying to pass through it.

    Need a plan B.

    Pretty even first half. Walker just edging the battle to be the dumbest full back. Saints lacking an edge, Morgan not on top form and Cork has given the ball away a lot. And yes, Rickie is invisible.

    We've done ok. Just need to go up another gear in the 2nd half. Rickie has done alright as well.

    Bright start, but Spurs are doing well since, pushing the defense up to take away the space we were finding in the opening 20 minutes. There's room for Rodriguez and Lallana to run behind, but we haven't been able to get the ball to them.

    Meanwhile, they're getting a lot of joy when they attack down the flanks...just glad that they haven't been utilizing it more frequently.

    Our squad depth is beginning to worry me. Would like to see Gallagher on if things stay the same by the 60 minute mark.

    We really shouldn't conciede goals like that. Only two Tottenham players in our half, and they combine as if we're not there.

    Fox somehow made an assist, bu he's still all over the place defensively.

    Lambert poor.

    Well, we're at home, we need to keep possession better and play more expansively I think. Play with width and try and stretch them. They're doing that better than us at the moment, frankly they look like the home team.

    If only we had a winger :p

    By the way, for all the criticism he's getting, I don't see what more Lambert could have done. He's more involved in the game than he has been in the last few.

    I hope so. I don't really like having to rely on that though.

    We don't have much on the bench but I'd like to see Ward-Prowse on for Cork soon I think.

    Cork has given the ball away a few times. Maybe he's not the world's greatest passer after all. Perhaps that Wanyama fella deserves another go? :|

    Edit: Not everything in this post is to be taken seriously...

    Good grief. Can't blame Fox for that.
