Atmosphere was good. I'm glad I went, was relatively safe in terms of covid. It wasn't packed so made distancing easier. Not an issue, but nice to see families out over Christmas holidays taking in the game whilst they can. Lots of kids today which I'm sure they enjoyed the experience.
Not a bad performance in all. I'll be honest I wasn't that comfortable watching us defend the lead for the whole 2nd half. Might have been a different story if they had Antonio up front. Also thought rice was good especially on the ball. Good feet in tight areas, drives the ball forward. Really think he could get into any PL given the role he plays. He'll get a big money move soon no doubt. Before I get attacked for praising an opposition player, part of the uniqueness of supporting spurs is appreciating good football, even if it was for an opposition player. I clapped Messi when he scored against us at Wembley. Its part of our tradition to embrace stylish football which is why the recent anti football we've had has been frustrating.
I think we need to keep all our players in January and only add more. Schedule is going to be busy so let's try to build on the recent performances by Winks, Dele, Doherty and Bergwijn.
I thought Doherty had a really good game. His crossing is far superior to Emerson and actually he defended the crosses against masuaku really well. I think he feels more confident playing RWB. Emerson is more RB.
Hugo made some great saves and gets MOTM. We paid the price playing Vorm against Norwich in the fa Cup 2 seasons ago. Lesson learnt. Bin Gollini this window. Promote Austin to no. 2.
