Spurs post match

[FantasyIreland]

We don't look as controlled in the middle of the pitch as we did last season. Fernando and Fernandinho, aren't the answer as a pairing, very frustrating to watch. A better team would have punished us and although are attacking threat is ever present, Pellegrini needs to sort out the midfield, and fast. Kompany didn't have his greatest game either and reminded me of Arsenal away in that he goes flying into challenges and gets left hopelessly out of position.

Neither of the Ferns were fully fit yesterday so to tag them with the 'not the answer' tag is both premature and idiotic.

Fantastic game of football. No problem with sagna,he was never far away from navas and did his job well. It may be a problem pairing him with milner but hes fine with navas,he just needs to support rather than run beyond him.

Seen a few people state how Navas was really poor.

I have to agree here . He made the wrong decision most of the times he had the ball in the attacking third yesterday . Mainly in the second half. Though he did ok first half. He looked low on confidence to me . Usually im a fan of his , and he has come on and changed games for us in the past.

Overall though I thought we played pretty well .

As Hrt said after the game, I think there Is far more to come . And when we have a full team to select from and we hit form, someone is going to get a serious serious hiding

Another 3 points, well done and onto the next game. Thats all it's about win the game.

I thought Navas was brilliant yesterday. Constantly a threat down the wing and set up our 3rd penalty which wrapped up the game. Seems to be another scapegoat, some of our fans are never happy.

Fans are always happy after a 4-1 win against a decent team, but that doesn't mean there aren't areas in which we could improve .

He is our only real option that gives us pace and width , and in my opinion this is one of the areas we will look to improve next summer.

As much as I like him ,Id be looking to upgrade him in all honesty. Who that is I really don't know . Maybe Reus?

How the fuck David Silva walked off the pitch with both his ankles and achilles intact I'll never know. The fucking ref could have sent any one of three of their players off for their planned assaults on him. I seriously worry how long his ankles can stand up to this game after game. Good job he's a tough little fucker. I reckon Pellers should start doing a Fergie and highlighting this all the time. See if it makes a difference.

This. It was open season on Silva yesterday. Spurs got away with attempted murder yesterday. 3 dreadfull challenges. 2 where not even a yellow card was shown - should have been at least 1 straight red for the lunge down the great mans achilles.

It's the same most games Pellegrini should be saying something just to put it in the referees mind

Too early to call. Both excellent players with complimentary skills. Takes time to gel a midfield and they've had what 1-2 matches together?

Totally agree BlueA -

I saw Spanish Dave get his achilles trampled on yesterday by some oaf in a Spurs shirt - in front of CB stand near the tunnel - ref and lino missed it .
He takes a lot of kicking does our Dave. I will forgive him an off day yesterday.
