Vertonghen and Dawson aside I dont think any of ours had a great game but for the guts on display everybody gets 10/10 from me.
Our midfield was non existent far to frequently for either Parker or Dembele to have had a really top game.
That said his assist was pant wettingly good and surpassed anything I ever thought possibly from Parker, so fair play for that!
We were very lose with our control and passing, we lacked composure for much of the game and we allowed the occasion to get to us.
That said, we showed a terrific amount of belief and desire, we were tactically quite sound and more or less kept our shape very well. Under Redknapp I often complained there wasnt a rehearsed system of play underpinning how we perform, so that on 'off' days we were likely to capitulate. Today is a fantastic performance on the basis that the opposite is now true.
Now that we have a tactical foundation even when we lose our heads a bit, even when we arent at our best, we still have faith in getting a result because we still have the ability to do so.
Absolutely delighted right now :holtbytongue:
