whats the point?
We've got a very nice stadium and training facilities and er...,
Just out of curiosity, how do you rate a player 6.who in your words looked not interested?Lloris - 1 - I hope his arm injury will heal quickly and not put his career at risk. But what a clanger from our captain in the first couple of minutes. He is not a leader on the pitch invoice or in performance. He is a shadow for the keeper who used to sweep up behind a high line.
Sissoko - 6 - didn’t look very interested but battled through the 90.
Toby - 5 - another who didn’t look interested
Verts - 6 - Put his head in where it hurts a couple of times, but also forgot to mark opponents in the box too.
Davies - 5 - maybe his inept performance was due to rustiness?
Dier - 3 - a bad case of rustiness would be a kind description. Slow and ponderous in a woeful first half. Can see why he has not been played in CM for so long.
Ndombele - 4 - A luxury player on days like today. No fight at all.
Lamela - 5 - ran a lot but was very bad with the ball, too many touches and slow of thought
Eriksen - 2 - it’s got to the point where I don’t want to see him in a Spurs shirt again. No fight, no quality, no tackling, no anything.
Son - 6 - didn’t look like he was interested today.
Kane - 4 - he really didn’t look interested at all (in tackling, running, shooting, tracking, anything) and that says everything I needed to know about whether we should keep Poch. Poch definitely has lost the dressing room.
Gazza - 5 - we need a better replacement for Lloris.
Winks - 7 - instantly showed more desire and intent than the XI who started. Wanted the ball and was ‘urgent’. Unfortunately he is in a run of bad form, but at least he tried.
Moura - 8 - MOTM - unlucky not to have at least one goal today in a cameo that put Harry Kane to shame.
Unfortunately the question wasn't 'what's big, slow and can kick the ball further than most players with his first touch?'How did Dier play? Because if you believe this forum he was the answer to all our problems.
Lamela an 8? Are you on drugs?Sissoko Moura Lamela 8
Winks 6
Everyone else 5
Bar Eriksen 3
Harsh on KerslakeLloris - sickening injury from which I hope he can recover, but also a terrible mistake to make at the start of a match.
Sissoko - Stephen Kelly
Alderweireld - Chiriches
Vertonghen - Bunjevcevic
Davies - Wilson
Dier - Kerslake
Ndombele - Zokora
Lamela - Leonhardsen
Eriksen - Acimovic
Son - Dominguez
Kane - Booth
Gazzaniga - Keller
Winks - Clemence
Lucas - Defoe
I think his work rate has been ok but the team is very low in confidence and imo we're not playing to his strength . He was never a speedy type strike more intelligence and clinical finishing.My biggest disappointment is Harry Kane. I see him regularly get ratings unworthy of his performances. Great at taking his chances but doesn't do enough for me in the rest of the game. Today he played the same game he did when Eriksen Son Delle etc were in their pomp providing the graft and craft. Compare his to the work-rates of other EPL strikers it just doesn't match up. He needs to offer more but the saddest thing of all he's shown little or no motivation and leadership through these recent poor performances.
I respect your point of view but I've watched the whole Liverpool v Leicester game and witnessed Salah and Mane up and down the pitch all afternoon, winning back possession on the edge of their own box yet still get as many goals as Kane. He seldom if ever offers that level of effort. The game nowadays is about athleticism and Kane doesn't have that in his locker.I think his work rate has been ok but the team is very low in confidence and imo we're not playing to his strength .

Sissoko only one worthy of rating

Anyone can manage a team that are winning and full of confidence.whats the point?
