Watch Vertonghen **** off because we don't get top 4 even though he's partly responsible for us getting beat today.
Lloris - 4. Not his fault, but he walked off having conceded four, two of which went through his legs. Not exactly blameless.
Naughton - 6. Did little wrong. MOTM for the first time in his Spurs career to date.
Daws - 3.5. You play him against Hazard, Eto'o, Oscar and co., and you're going to have a bad time. Slow and sloppy with his short passing, but not totally awful.
Kaboul - 3. Was coolly tying his laces when Jan was desperately searching for passing options to his left in the build-up to the first goal. Unforgivable.
Verts - 3.5. Unfortunate slip, but was shaky throughout regardless.
Walker - 3. Did well first half ,went to **** in the second. Blaming his team-mates for his own stupendous error was the icing on the cake of failure today.
Bentaleb - 4.5. Acquitted himself decently (some sloppy passes), but has a lot to learn yet.
Sandro - 4.5. Tried his heart out, was let down by his rustiness and his mentally-useless team-mates.
Siggy - 5. I think I saw him touch the ball twice in ninety minutes.
Lennon - 4.5. Wasn't great in the free role, but pressed well enough for the first forty-five.
Ade - 5. Did little of note, but didn't **** up either, so neutral score seems about right.
Subs:
Paulinho - N/A. Game was out beyond our reach he came on.
Fryers - N/A. See above.
Tim - 7. His unusual team selection worked very well in the first half. What happened after that was not his fault, and he shouldn't be blamed for this.
Special mentions:
Daniel Levy - Apart from the players, there really isn't a totem pole that I can rage against at the club. But I can't help but feel that somehow, he deserves more blame for the state we're in. Not sure how, but he does.
Franco Baldini - not one of his seven signings started today. Not sure what that says about his performance so far.
Away fans - made the best of a bad situation. Heard them throughout the first 80-odd minutes, which is very decent as far as our support this season is concerned. Well done.
He's playing like he doesn't give a ****.
The good thing is i don't actually think losing him will harm us much. We can also get quite a lot of £££££ for him so it would be best to cash in imo.
Nah, sooner or later we'd have lost 1-0. And then we'd have tried to come out of the game with some credit. But Chelsea would have thought 'job done'. And without Bale, we really have nobody to alter that. A bunch of mates collecting a cheque. Sherwood doesn't have Bale, and it shows.looked a nailed on 0-0 draw til his players let him down.
3 - sherwood for a crazy gamble that unsettled the team, and made the players look bad. Then had the cheek to come out to criticize them!
can't judge the players under a new system of play against the league leaders.
