Watch the video at 0:30, the exact moment Ledley decides to close down Mata. BAE (who starts 5-10 yard away from ramires) runs full speed towards ramires and doesnt reach him.

A good defender would have read the situation better (anticipated King would go to Mata) and dropped back earlier
For all the **** Terry gets - he's quite possibly one of the best 'readers' out there which often makes your defensive duties half as easy. BAE is always reactive, not proactive.

Not sure what Ledley was doing there. Both are at fault. Nobody took responsibility for their man
Two questions
1. Are you seriously suggesting he wouldn't make LB at Saudi Sportswashing Machine or Arsenal
2. Did we suddenly drop to 7th? Because as far as I know he plays LB for a Top 4 club never mind top 6.

I personally thought King was at fault for the third. BAE was watching Bosingwa and King should have covered Ramires but pushed forward

Or we could played that big lad on the bench instead. Gallas was directly at fault for 4 of the 5 goals.

If you know your football, then judging from them photos above, its Kings fault. There is no need for King to step up to him. Scott Parker is right next to Mata and Gallas is also spare, seeing as Walker has Drogba.
Ekotto only looks like the bad guy as he's busting a gut to try and get back and stop the goal.

I said he's over-rated at our club.
Arsenal have that Brazilian LB (Santos?) who's looked the part this season - doubt would BAE be ahead of him. The other Top 6 club I was referring to was Liverpool and Enrique is ahead of him, imv
Ekotto's desire was questionable yesterday, I noticed Bale having to cover for him on a fair few occasions as Benny caught out of position was making little attempt to get back into it. But that's the problem I've always had with Benny, he's far to unpredictable one game looking fairly decent, the next you question whether he has a brain, when he takes delight in doing the "Ekotto turn" in our own penalty area. Benny is a decent player as backup, but like a few positions in the squad left back needs an upgrade.

Looking at those pics you can see clearly it's King that lets Ramires go as BAE is covering the man on the win. He tries to recover King's error but it's too much ground to make up. On another matter why isn't Walker moving up with the line as well, he's playing Ramires onside.
Walker's still got a lot to learn about defending. Given the right coaching he could be a brilliant right back.
Bugger all chance of that happening at Spurs then with the current coaching staff we have.
He is a great Character but as you say he costs us a lot, he turned his back on a challenge and lost the ball high up the pitch yesterday and the ball was played in behind him, he did not even jog back let alone sprint, it was right in front of me he did not give a brick.
I suggested a few names couple of weeks back.
Here's just a few
Maxwell
Baines (the obvious choice, please Levy)
Bastos (top player)
Taiwo (hard to persuade)
Perrreira
Coentrao (most likely impossible)
Didn't say Santos is the solution - attempt to read / comprehend before deciding what I've written
I really like Perreira. That's the Porto one right? He would be very expensive I would imagine. Besides, I still think we have more important areas to address than this. He's slacked recently for sure, but on the whole hes been good this season.

Not good enough to be in a team challenging for titles. Hes poor in every big game.
I dont care if he is at fault for the goals yesterday, he just looked under pressure all the time and couldnt pass it to a team mate.
