Very, Very poor performance tonight...and thats being complimentary.
Given 7 - Couldn't really do too much about the 1st two goals, bollocked his defenders on occasion and rightly so.
Richards 6 - Defoe often caught him out for pace, made a few good tackles though, not one of his worst performances.
Onuoha 6 - Average performance, did okay filling in for Lescott at the last minute.
Toure 6 - I'm sorry, yes on his day he's a magnificent defender, but for me he just isn't captain material, he isn't vocal enough. Bad game tonight...
Sylvinho 5 - Got absolutely mauled tonight, Lennon destroyed him.
Ireland 7 - A few good touches but with everyone else around him playing negatively it was difficult to find that key pass to get us a goal.
de Jong 6 - Threw himself about a bit, went missing in the second half.
Barry 6 - Came to life in the last 20minutes...unfortunately that isn't and clearly wasn't good enough.
Robinho 5 - Had one decent chance at goal that I can remember, he's just come back from a lengthy injury so it would be harsh to criticize him too much. However, overall a typical Robinho performance away from home...nowhere to be seen.
Tevez 7 - Again...didn't stop running, good effort.
Adebayor 5 - Minimal impact, didn't look bothered...LAZY.
Subs:
Santa Cruz 6 - Made a positive impact when he came on, was unlucky not to get a shot on goal with an obvious handball by Dawson, he IS getting better.
Petrov 6 - Should've come on at HT in my opinion, looked lively.
Overall, the final score flattered us. Spurs controlled the game from start to finish, never gave us a sniff at goal. I can guarantee that they will finish above us this season. Having a game in f**king hand won't make any blind bit of difference. A very frustrating performance indeed.
Anyway...onwards and upwards.
