Rose let Coloccini run free. After his stupid and unnecessary handball. Giving truth to the concept that MOST goals are the result of a string on mistakes.

Rose had Sissoko, if anyone it was Dier who had Coloccini although by the looks of it we're doing half zonal half man.

From what I remember he was standing next to Coloccini who made his run to the far post that Rose didn't track.

He may have been standing next to him but I would still very much doubt that Rose would be the player instructed to pick up Coloccini for Saudi Sportswashing Machine set pieces. As one of Saudi Sportswashing Machine's best 3 or 4 players in the air I'm sure that either Toby, Jan, Dier or Kane would be detailed to pick him up. Rose is usually the man guarding the post for corners isn't he? If so then there is no way that he would be instructed to pick up Coloccini.

Thanks.... I thought it would've been VERY strange for Rose to have been detailed to be marking Collocini. Dier would seem a logical choice. Although Rose having Sissoko also seems a bit mental to me as it is a bit of a mismatch in terms of their respective sizes.

“It was positive in the dressing room after Saudi Sportswashing Machine,” explained skipper Hugo.

“We had a chat together and tried to understand what happened in the second half. At half-time everyone was positive and wanted to win the game but at the end, we didn’t respond.

“I’m not worried about the Saudi Sportswashing Machine game. It was an opportunity but we missed it. There will be other opportunities and the only thing that matters is to be where we want to be at the end of the season - and the season is still very young.

“There is no panic but we all know we need to get back to winning ways.”

The players are focused on doing just that at St Mary’s on Saturday (3pm). “We demand a lot of effort from each other and we’ve had a good week to prepare,” added Hugo.

Couple of brilliant saves again today ...

Three fantastic saves today, two of them near-impossible parries on the goal-line that he somehow shoveled behind even when falling backwards and in the relative center of his goal (having kept goal myself, I know that palming away shots like that while falling backwards usually just makes them spin into the corner of the net or bounce on the goal-line for an easy tap-in).

We really are blessed to have him around. How we got him, I'll never know: how we haven't lost him yet is an even greater mystery. But, whatever his circumstances, I'm grateful he's here.
 
Hugo Lloris may not be a Tottenham Hotspur player right now had it not been for the appointment of Mauricio Pochettino. Speaking to French newspaper L'Equipe, in a lengthy interview which mainly focused on France's Euro 2016 hopes, Lloris was asked about a failed moved to Manchester United last summer, and whether he regrets that a big transfer didn't come off.

Rather expertly taking the question away from Manchester United and making it generally more about his own experience with Tottenham, Lloris was quite honest and explained the London club hadn't been one he was happy with before the arrival of the new manager.

But Pochettino changed everything for the Frenchman, and Lloris explained to L'Equipe "I've flourished completely here. I can even say that since the arrival of Pochettino I found new benchmarks.

"My second season here was complicated, I had kept a certain level of performance but collectively there were too many gaps and it had been against the big teams. I had not felt a strong club, but rather an unstable one, with a coaching change in the middle of the season, just the opposite of what I like to see in football. I was actually asking myself questions until Pochettino arrived.

"Even when it was not working yet, I said: "Do not worry, we will get there." His speech was clear, we suddenly knew where we were going. With the quality of the workforce, and work ethic that is in training, there is no reason that we don't progress."

Lloris waxing lyrical about the Tottenham manager will be a joy to supporters of the club. It's clear that players enjoy working for Pochettino and for Lloris it's made him stop asking questions about his own future
 
Before I start... this isn't a big criticism of Lloris, I think he is excellent. But watching MotD tonight I've seen Joe Hart and Petr Cech coming off their line like an angry starfish, aggressively clawing at the very air and blocking shots. It feels to me that Lloris is more of a purist, pouncing on the ball, pulling off good saves, but rarely doing the Schmeichel angry starfish.

I also noticed Ben Watson of Watford scoring direct from a corner, just like he pretty much did against Spurs. Very impressive delivery! It got a tiny flick off Otamendi but was a wicked delivery. (Then City equalised from a decent corner and Aguero won it from a great cross).

Come to think of it the Gooners scored from a corner. Then Utd's first was a great cross from Young to Martial for a header, Siggy scored a header from a Barra cross, then Rooney scored from another cross, lots of it around today. And Villa's goal was a cross. And the two Wet Spam goals were crosses. And the Stoke goal and the West Brom winner.

Wow, sounds like he was sorely tempted to leave before the ePoch arrived

While can understand Lloris' frustration with Spurs for being inconsistent on and off the pitch before Pochettino arrived, he cannot shake off his own share of the blame for it. It was Walker and Lloris' mistakes which enabled Liverpool to come back and beat us 3-2 under AVB in 2013. If we had won that match, we would have finished 4th and qualified to the CL. Maybe that could have tempted Bale to stay and AVB would have been the manager longer. I think that moment of madness from Walker and Lloris changed the whole history for Spurs. And Lloris still have not improved his kicks which remain one of the worst among the goalies in the league.
