Lloris - 7.5 good kicking and some solid saves, probably our MotM, was excellent

Trippier - 6.5 solid but didn't do anything special
Sanchez - 5 looked shaky all game and had one of his worst performances for us, but was very good on the ball which is promising (completed 107 passes)
Alderweirled - 7 I thought he played well especially considering he was out of position
Vertonghen - 7 One of his better LB performances, didn't do much wrong but still looked like a CB at LB

Dier - 7.5 Our best player first half and adapted well to CB second
Winks - 6.5 quietly went about his business, cleaned up well but wasn't particularly solid going forward

Son - 4.5 Our worst player, did little of note and really struggled all game
Eriksen - 7 Struggled heavily first half, great second, well taken goal
Dele - 6 Pressed well but did a forgettable performance otherwise

Kane - 5 Missed an easy chance and didn't get involved in the game at all, a performance to forget

Sissoko - 6.5 Exactly the player that was needed for the second half, countered well but that was a horrendous pass for Nkoudou

Nkoudou/Llorente - N/A

I won`t be surprised if Sanchez struggles against Pool`s high pressing and quick footed attackers. I hope he proves me wrong, but he has had a fairly easy time so far and Pool will be his hardest test so far.

Lloris was excellent and probably MOTM but only gets 7.5?

Don’t think everyone who gets MOTM has to get a 10.

Lloris was very good according to the highlights I’ve seen. Shame some don’t recognise it when he saves us

Sandy this shouldn’t be hard to understand, he was a cb who got beaten too often and easily and could’ve cost us a goal. I’ve been very impressed with him but that doesn’t mean he didn’t have a bad game.

Brother, nobody played particularly well today thus nobody got a high score. We created little and had a lot of possession in non-dangerous areas. Lloris was good but only made two saves that I remember. Just a below par spurs performance

comment by Ledders-I must confess my love for Neo,I've dreamed of his manhood in my face smelling of B.O.He fills my rear end with his cream, the rest is bottled just like Spurs title dream. (U20121)

Just as well Wanyama wasn't playing else he'd be the one getting the credit for it.

I don't mean to sound pedantic, but I don't think you can claim Alderweireld was out of position. He was still at CB.

I think you can, although the difference between RCB and LCB isn't as distinct as LB and RB; any defender needs familiarity and comfort playing regulalry in their position. Considering he is probably used to playing close to the defender to his left, and playing his right-left diagonal ball; there is a level of unfamiliarity as a result as it isn't a natural position for him.

We'll agree to disagree on that one. If the same happened in Central Midfield, I don't think you'd say that player is out of position.

I think CM would be the wrong comparison though. A back four needs more structure than any other position in the pitch, I wouldn't say wingers shouldn't be inverted because fullbacks aren't. Likewise I wouldn't compare CM to CB.
