Lloris- 5. Couldn't have done a great deal about any of the goals (perhaps if you're being critical the third).
Walker- 4. Not so sure what to say about Walker at the minute. I thought he was over-rated by Spurs fans last season but still thought he did very well. This season he has been utter cack. Any time he tried to dribble today he ran straight into an Arsenal player and got himself into trouble over and over again. Needs to be 'rested' though I'm not convinced the alternative will be so much better at the moment.
Gallas- 3. Some abysmal defending today. Why is he playing and not Caulker or Dawson? And it surely can't be anything to do with the high line because he is always ruining that high line anyway by dropping back because he rightly no longer trusts his pace. Its actually a bit of a shame to see him like this, there was a period at Chelsea where I thought he was one of, if not the best, defender in the world. We need Kaboul back asap.
Please don't let him mark Carroll.
Vertonghen-5. A few good challenges and a great ball for the first goal. Tired at the end though and started allowing players to get away. Looking forward to seeing him when we have a settled team, I loved his runs from cb at Ajax and when we're a bit more solid, they can be a huge asset.
Naughton-4. Terrorised by Walcott though admittedly had little protection from Bale, who at one point saw Sagna steaming forward to put him and Walcott 2 on 1 vs poor Naughton and just walked back.
Lennon-5. Should have scored. Not involved enough.
Sandro-7. Best player by a distance.
Huddlestone-4. What happened to the player who, while never nimble, could at least get around the pitch a bit more? Horrific waste of set pieces. Get Carroll in the team and for the love of GHod, where is Dembele?
Bale-6. Good goal and a few good runs but otherwise also quite anonymous. Set pieces infinitely better than Hudd's. Needs to help his lb more.
Adebayor-2. Good goal and played excellently in those 18 minutes. But macaron macaron macaron. Pointless challenge in a pointless area. We lost this game because of him today. We need him desperately too.
Defoe-5. Tried but was never going to see much of the ball after 18 minutes. Great run for the first, one occassion in the second half when he had the chance to pass to Bale in a much better position but did his usual blast the ball into the defender 5 yards away instead.
Carroll-6. Good stuff. Get him starting next game.
Dempsey-5. Actually did alright in his first 15-20 minutes on, running well, couple of good balls forward. Then reverted back to his Spurs performances of aimless runs till he loses the ball, passes backwards and stupid decisions. Trying too hard now. Surprised to see him and not Sig come on.
Dawson-6. Did well.
AVB-7. Good performance for the first 20 minutes. Good subs and tactical switch at ht. Not a great deal he could have necessarily done today after Ade's moment of madness.
