Defend as a unit, the player scored a free header in between our two CBs - not a good look for either

True but if one defender was marking his man from then near side (Keane) and the other is marking his man (Calvert lewin) nest side too, how can the one behind the man receiving the ball win the header? He would have to be in front of him wouldnt he, rather than behind?
The cross was great and Toby if he even jumped wouldn’t have got it but he should have done much more
 
Agree. Both Toby and Dier should have jumped to deny space. Toby having more of the blame being in front of and closer to the ball.

Aside from the goal the rest of the 2nd half was poor from both sides. Everton have really technical players confident in passing their way out in intricate triangles.

Winks, Moura, Hojbjerg were poor throughout.

Neither Toby nor Dier would have had to jump if they had done what Mou Mou wants i.e. run alongside and into Calvert Lewin and push him off balance right as he goes to jump.

'The Everton effect
"It's not a bad result that makes me change my idea," Mourinho said after Tottenham's opening-day defeat to Everton, when it was suggested the result had forced Tottenham's hand in the transfer market.

The Spurs manager may have denied it but at least one source close to the club says the result galvanised Levy into action. Within days, Spurs were in talks with Real Madrid over both Bale and Reguilon, their biggest double signing since Ossie Ardiles and Ricky Villa in 1978, and they stepped up their attempts to sign a new centre-forward and centre-half.

The abject display against the Toffees made it seem not only possible but probable that Spurs would miss out on Champions League football for a second consecutive season, delivering another hammer blow to Levy's carefully curated long-term business plan. Suddenly, it became prudent to spend money to ensure Spurs would remain competitive.'

As close to from the horse's mouth as possible - Dan KP admitting that Everton beating our abject side was what finally panicked Levy into action.

Most transformative, enjoyable loss we've had in years. :p

I'm sure someone on here mentioned a while back hearing that the Everton game was the trigger?

I don't know but both Bale and Reguilon had been long term targets. Ally Gold said early in the window that we were watching Reguilon but would only move if the price was right. On Bale he said that we had made an enquiry every window since he moved there and it happened this time after we negotiated them down from a 75% contribution to his wages to 40%.
