That said, our first half performance was incredibly naive & it's something we need to learn from. Schindler in particular was woeful in the first 45, & that says something given how good he's been thus far. Second half better, but Spurs had took their foot off the gas by then. Don't judge us against the top 6, judge us against the other 14.
Two words not associated with each other. Can't agree. Still thought he was our best player.
Opinions - I thought he had a shocker. It was like having Calamity Clarke back at times - he kept steaming out to win balls he didn't need to win, then found himself out of position and they looked to pick us off. In particular he seemed to keep coming out to Alli - that might have been the instructions he was given but it just meant they went around him and then we're a man light at the back. Also the ease with which Kane breezed around him for their second was shocking.
He's still our POTY by a distance so far, but it was a bit of a reality check. Unfortunately with Town their seem to be some players who are immune to criticism and some who get nothing but criticism.
Example:
VLP beats a man and puts a cross straight into the stand = get him off and sell him
Kachunga beats a man and puts a cross straight into the stand = great workrate, unlucky
