Been out all day and just finished watching a recording of the match. Don't know what's already been said here, but my own view is that we were by far the better side for most of the game and were unfortunate not to take all three points. Because of that, it's obviously quite disappointing that we didn't win. So I'm not exactly feeling great about the result right now. But with a bit of perspective; I'm loving what Pochettino is doing for us at Spurs, and it's clear we have a quality side right now. The future is bright.
But yeah, disappointing we couldn't convert our dominance into 3 points today. Can't get away from that fact either.
Mind you, even as I sat down to watch the game, I said to the wife... "Aaron Lennon is going to take points off us today".

Broadly speaking , you agree. We need that extra strength in the middle to compete!
I would definitely go for an extra DM in the transfer market ASAP...unfortunely I can,t make it happen.
Pritchard all though somewhat different(only seen him on YouTube) can be a direct runner into the box.
He looks a great option BTWay.......
Come on you Spurs.............................

Come on guys...Eriksen losing the ball is one thing. But he simply stood off Cleverly and allowed him an age to cross!!!!!! That's what annoyed more than being bundled off the ball! Anyway, onwards...

I thought that it was noticeable that he played a lot deeper yesterday. I don't know whether he was dragged there or following orders.

We kinda played 4-3-3 at times as they did but it could be because they were so far back due to our dominance it looked like he was deeper than he actually was

It annoyed me too that Vertonghen didn't go for a proper block. In an otherwise very good game from him that was disappointing. He did have a block later in the game where he blocked a shot with his head iirc, so not always a lack of bravery there.
Davies got pulled in a little bit towards the Lukaku-Verts duel, which I think is understandable. Missed his positioning by a yard if at all in a difficult situation, not a big mistake for me.
Yeah. Definitely could have done better. Also Walker's pass is risky, but credit to Baines for reading the situation, being aggressive and then a nice bit of skill and awareness with the back heel. Was good play overall by Everton and we got done. Some mistakes from us, but nothing huge.
-------------------------------------------------
Overall I thought we played really well. Looking at multiple games we probably only deserved a draw against Watford, but got the win. Yesterday we deserved the win, but only got a draw. This is the variance of football as far as I'm concerned. 10 points from our last 4 is both very good and about what we've deserved based on our performances.

loved this from ToffeeTalk
"These are head and shoulders above us out of possession. Organised, high energy, high press, winning nearly every 50/50 - and with a bunch of kids. fudge I wish Pochettino was our manager. "
I thought we were close to perfect for the first 30 mins - and pleased overall

Sums it up really well
I too wish for Pochettino as our manager... Wish come true. Happy days

back to 4-4-2 away and on a wet pitch, it was a pretty good performance.
we ought to have won that - a bit unlucky with hitting the woodwork twice.

I know it's hard because we are pushing for top 4 etc and points make prizes BUT
(to agree with Toby) That first 45 mins was the best we've played this season, and with such a young team performance is everything. It shows progression and development.
We did the press, but it was our forward passing and link up that exceeded anything i've seen previously. Everyone in tune, composed and confident in our plan.
I love Poch on the sideline just simply shouting 'It's OK, It's OK' ie re-assuring the boys that we're on the right path, in control and not to worry.
We dropped two points but if we play like that first half for the rest of the season it wouldn't be top 4 we'd be looking at.

This for me too. And I think the players showed a great attitude after going 1-0 down. They very much exemplified what Pochettino was saying on the sideline and looked confident that they would find the net. We've seen that a lot this season, the confidence that we will score if we just play our game.

I thought we were, generally speaking, magnificent until their double substitution. The level of pressing was incredible, Everton really struggled to get out of their half.
The only thing lacking for me was that there weren't that many actual chances being created. Kane can look awfully isolated sometimes.
Its a real shame we couldn't have picked up the 3 points there, it was a genuine "muscular" performance that i think would have given every other team in the league pause for serious serious thought.
Alli, just amazing for his age, incredible control for his goal and more importantly he didn't hesistate or try for another touch like many players would, superb.
Toms a difficult one, one of those players its hard to be convinced by. Was he a weak link? or was he actually the reason for our dominance? Could be either or both.
Toby and Jan really are starting to seem like a brutal defensive partnership and with Dier ahead of them its a formidable wall to get through. Hopefully Dier can just stop the occasional concentration slip/poor pass.
With Walker, hmmmm. He got the ball a few times well up on the pitch and each time i just didn't get the impression anything was going to come from it.
Looking good everywhere in concllusion, we just need a bit more firepower and/or guile in the final third.
really enjoyed the game though, except for Lennon the little bastard) Reminded me of his goal for us against Chelsea that time

Shame because if one of those shots to the woodwork would have gone in, there's no way we're not winning that game in the first half. But still great stuff from Spurs, really excited

I said to my mate 5 mins in, I should have a bet on Lennon scoring and I still could have done it in running, doesn't that always happen to us, that aside we were magnificent 1st half and it was just our luck to hit woodwork all the time, 2nd half martinez made some good subs and we were visibly tired in the last 20 mins, kane especially, he barely touched the ball in the last 30 mins.
The goal aside, Alli was running rings round their backline, he really is the pickup of the year but like others have said, we so need another threat upfront, we have a decent enough midfield but just need another poacher to complement harry.
