Nope we deserved to score. Not our fault they can’t take their chances. Diaby should have hit it first time too. 

Cash and Torres missed easy headers before they scored as well. But since their goal we've been shite. Before that it was a toe to toe boxing match.

That’s the price of having it. They have to comb through every frame as if they miss something they will be crucified for weeks. 

No one would care if that Watkins goal was given. You cannot, judge that as offside, due to not knowing by 100th of a second when the ball was actually kicked for the cross.

That half was just awful. A depleted Spurs side just battered us and how the hell we are 1-1 I’ll never know.  Emery needs to do his magic.  I just can’t believe how bad we are away from home…Newcastle, Liverpool, Forest and now Spurs.  At home we are untouchable but away we are so fragile…

You cant argue that we didnt deserve it. Spurs have been very good and we have been very poor. Its been a smash and grab.

Just hope emery gets a rocket up them 2nd half

What’s the point in playing a high line if we only have 38% possession? If we’re going to play high line we need to dominate the ball, if we’re not going to dominate the ball then we need to sit deeper.

Gotta close down the ball carrier quicker, too. Too much time to pick the pass.

Diego needs to come off. Konsa to CB and Cash at RB. Put McGinn at RW and get on JJ and Moreno on the left if they're fit enough.

Not enough ball carriers in this side against the press. Spurs have to be punished for pressing so high but it's hopeless balls to Diaby who is NOT a good hold up player.

Playing right into their hands for first half if it weren't for two magnificent deliveries.

We've panicked at their press. Unusual for us. We normally use that press to our advantage but haven't first half. We need to put our foot on the ball and slow the game down. Frustrate them and the crowd will be well at them. Diaby and one of Cash or Diaby/Carlos off, Bailey on and Tielemans and let's get balance to the side. That was a very unbalanced side first half.

Diaby is way off it, but Ollie is showing no appetite to challenge the defenders either......we can't hold the ball up.

its all so bloody passive.....we can't tackle/win the ball, only foul....its P*** poor......just like at Forest.

In fairness , think about how many times over the last few years similar has happened to us?

I'll take a shithouse win/result against the likes of these all day.

The points in this are massive for us 

It has happened loads against us, it was needed! As now we can regroup and hopefully play much better 2nd half.
