1. Welcome back Dier. Weeks out injured and I feared a rusty Dier always looks a bit more lumbering than usual. But he was superb. One misplaced pass into CM but otherwise some superb defending and good use of the ball. I think he and Romero could make a superb partnership.
2. Romero. A really good defensive show, unlukcy with the pen. But his calm use of the ball makes a real difference and allowed us to play out. Although we were low on possession there was not too much aimless hoofs from defence.
3. Sessegnon. Looks like a rabbit in headlights and we were lucky they came down our right so much as he looked there for the taking. Kid looks out of his depth and lacking confidence.
4. Bentancor. Caught on the ball a couple times and will learn from this but used the ball really well most times. Far more technical than any of our other CMs
5. Media....bored bored bored of all the Kane to City, Kane in the shop window, Conte to walk, Conte fallout with Levy BS that all got mentioned about every 10 minutes by commentators/pundits

6. Hugo on one of his dodgy spells. Needs to quickly iron out the mistakes.
7. Kulu might just be the best signing under Paratici already.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
6. Yesterday's game was a perfect summary of Hugo's career, a dreadful error and a blinding save.
As per normal just when have you think he's finally getting more consistent he chucks in a couple of stinkers.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The error was started by De Bruyne. You need to be football smart to see. Watch again. He waits for the delivery then notices the ball is going towards Lloris, he makes a move toward Lloris, so he catches the keeper's peripheral visions and then he makes a gesture of going in with his foot.
De Bruyne knew what he was doing.

Not sure I would say that sums Lloris up. The good has far outweighed the bad IMO, and every single keeper in the league, no matter how good, has their moments.

Up until the last couple of games he'd been on a good run of form but I think (and always have done) that he makes too many errors to be regarded as a top keeper.

There really is a media agenda against us. I know all fans of all clubs tend to think this to a certain extent but the anti spurs one is so obvious that it cannot be argued against. Every journalists wife must be getting banged by spurs fans or something.

Oh come on, regardless of what De Bruyne does a Prem keeper has to be holding onto to that.

and what exactly does anyone get out of having an agenda against Spurs?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The thing is we are an easy target, for all the well-rehearse reasons and Conte adds to that with his reputation.
I think rather than being any direct prejudice from the media, it is just very lazy journalism to print and say the same old stuff. But there is no need in commentary and the post match interviews to be banging on about some of these things. It is tiresome and relentless and I can understand why many Spurs fans react to it.

The media are desperate to keep their cosy little cartel of money spinning clubs successful, Spurs are seen as a threat to that, a lot of people have a lot to lose should one of their darling clubs drop down the league, so this is why there is a constant anti Spurs agenda. Some people are so naive though, they think everything is whiter than white.
