Pretty shit half I'd say. We're lucky Spurs are out of ideas. Doesn't feel like we have 3 midfielders at all.

We played like shit for half of that. Thank God we didn't concede before HT.

Spurs will no doubt hook off Wanyama at half time(it's like they have been playing with 10 men), so need to step up in the 2nd half

Kos has been great so far

Cech was never saving that. Brilliant from Leno.

We have executed our plan quite well I think. Tottenham created little. If we keep dropping as deep though, we are bound to be on the edge and that's never a great thing with our defence. We need more from Guendouzi on the ball. Aubameyang's pace could be a big big asset late on.

Played well, deserve to be leading. But for a miracle save it would have counted for nothing though.

And that's why I'd hook Iwobi at half time. His threat in the final third is not enough to tolerate the damage he's causing in our defensive third. I'd bring on Kolasinac. Torreira is also going to be useful later on if we are to see this game out.

That harry’s Shave stick commercial has to be the gumpiest I’ve seen in a while. WTF

Leno with save of the season.

Iwobi has been very good defensively.

We are struggling to get the ball out from the back with Spurs pressing. Need to be a bit calmer under pressure.

I wouldn't change anything yet. Great that we have plenty of fire power on the bench though so when we make changes they should be able to make a real difference.

He's struggled under the press once or twice but everyone has. He's managed to get it out plenty too. The thing is, they are pushed up onto us so high when we do get out we can be dangerous. Thats how we scored and I hope when Auba comes on he can really punish them.

I don't think we have played like shit at all. We are playing away at Tottenham and have a gameplan which the score and stats will show has been executed well. Tottenham are out of ideas because we are organized in front of them. Can't moan about us when we don't defend well and even when we defend well.

Nearly every dangerous situation they have had has come about either directly because Iwobi hasn't tracked/pressed Trippier or as a result of another player having to leave his position to engage Trippier, meaning another one of their players is free as a result.

That's exactly what we should be doing to them and if they somehow play through our pressure, drop off quickly and form a compact block. We are making it too easy for them and putting ourselves under constant pressure by not pressing them early enough

Had it on mute and it still looked comical.

that's exactly how i've seen it.

Spurs look like they can cut through us with total ease. From the looks of it, that looks to be a result of us being a step behind in midfield, on and off the ball. I wouldn't be suprised to see spurs end up winning this.

Insane double save from Leno at the end there, absolutely brilliant.

They didn't have a shot on target until the 40th minute
