I thought he was a very good keeper when he was at Birmingham and would have like us to sign him.

Good keeper but not top class and i dont think CL quality. Good shot stopper who looks good given the number of shots he faces but positioning and decision making not of a top class keeper. However, there are not really that many world class keepers about these days...

I think he would struggle in a top, top team needing to make only 1/2 saves a match.
 
Saw a West Brom fan saying that our performance was the best he's seen any opposition against them in 27 years.

Also enjoyed reading this:

When Tottenham click, they are a force like no other. Ask Emirates Marketing Project, humbled in October. Ask Chelsea, brushed aside a week ago. Ask West Brom, eviscerated in potentially the most complete performance of the lot. Spurs had 21 shots and allowed only three. They registered 73% possession and yet were never vulnerable to the counter-attack. Anyone who accuses me of praising a team for only beating West Brom should go back and watch that display. There was nothing the opposition could do.


West Brom have been Tottenham’s bogey team in recent seasons, but were blown away by an attacking performance that started with the central defenders and ended with Harry Kane’s magic right boot. Competent defenders like Gareth McAuley were made to look like bumbling amateurs. Spurs did not allow West Brom either a shot on target or corner, restricting them to a 58% first-half passing accuracy that reflected a team clearing the ball anywhere just to temporarily stem the tide.

“When you play against such a good team like Tottenham they punish you,” said Pulis after the game. “And they punished us. Today we were off it and they deserve all the credit – full stop.”

Tottenham do indeed punish you. More than any other team in the Premier League, they can swarm over you like a line of army ants destroying anything in their path. The central defenders are rock solid, the full-backs the best in the league, the attacking midfielders full of energy without the ball and full of invention with it and the striker on top of his game again. Even more than Chelsea seven points above them, if Tottenham play to their full potential nobody can stop them. Chelsea have the edge on consistency.

Even if Hugo Lloris had conceded every shot on target he faced in the last four league games, Spurs would still have taken 10 points from a possible 12. In their last eight they have created 127 chances, 23 more than their nearest rival and 50 more than Chelsea. They have had 61 shots on target, 13 more than their nearest rival and 24 more than Emirates Marketing Project. They have faced only 18 shots on target, two fewer than their nearest rival and 13 fewer than Arsenal. By any measure, they are the team in form.

While both Sarah and I asked questions regarding the ability of the players, the obvious answer is that it is Pochettino playing the role of teacher to perfection. While the star pupils receive adoration and adulation, the Argentinean smiles to himself and prepares lesson plans for the next week. They are gauche comparisons, but Tottenham’s XI against West Brom cost £7m less in transfer fees than one Paul Pogba.

This is not to label Tottenham as title favourites, or to mark any mission as accomplished. They may have won seven matches on the spin by an aggregate of 21-3, but this is an unforgiving race for top-four places and title glory. Spurs only have the sixth best away record in the league, and face Emirates Marketing Project and Liverpool in two of their next three on the road.

Yet the astonishing thing is that Tottenham are here at all, ahead of the Manchester clubs on merit. They tailed away last season, beset by fatigue, and yet vowed to work even harder. The majority of their players took part in major tournaments last summer (where most of them failed), and yet are full of bounce again. They flunked in the Champions League, and yet it made them stronger domestically. They bought badly in the summer, and yet the squad looks more complete.

The starting XIs of the top six clubs this weekend contained 30 players bought for more than £15m How many did Tottenham contribute to that number? None.

Amazes me how slow he is when taking goal kicks. It's not just time wasting, he was doing the same thing at 2-0 but about 5% quicker. He really does have one pace.

These stats are impressive. Very impressive. Very. very impressive. Levy out?;)
 
It was nice to get our 6th consecutive league win. Even better, we managed to beat our bogey team WBA at home for the first time in 5 years ! We were in control from start to finish and really should have won by a bigger score. But the disappointing thing was the injury to Vertonghen. It was really naive of Vertonghen to get injury like that. Not sure why he had to rush like that in the middle of the field with us leading 2-0. Now it is going to affect us if he is out injured for long.

Credit to Kane for getting the hattrick. But he was unlucky not to score even more. Kane now has 13 league goals this season, which is only 1 goal behind current top scorers Ibrahimovic, Costa and Sanchez. Hope Kane will get more goals to become the league's top scorer, just like last season. Too bad Janssen was not even included in the squad against WBA.

Our midfield of Wanyama and Dembele didn't have to work hard as WBA were poor. But they did their work well. Credit to Eriksen for getting another assist. He now has 8 assists in total which is only 1 behind De Bruyne. But wish Eriksen had scored our second goal which was given as the own goal by WBA player. Too bad Alli didn't continue his recent goal run but credit to him for assisting Kane's 4th goal with a cheeky lob. Also felt Sissoko or Nkoudou should have come in to replace Dembele instead of Winks.

Well done to the defence for keeping the clean sheet. Just wish Vertonghen has been more carefull and didn't get the unnecessary injury. Felt Vertonghen was taking undue risk from the start by joining in our attacks too much. He seemed like too eager to get a goal ! Maybe he has forgotten that he is a defender ! Not sure why he had to sprint like that in the middle of the field and get injured in the process. Hope he will be back to our defence soon.

It was sweet to overcome the WBA jinx for once. We have also won 6 league matches in a row now. Hope we will go on a long winning run to move into the top place in the league !
