on another day that would have ended 4,5 or even 6 -2 soldado just couldn't get his finishing right after the 3rd we cut them up.

This is without an official manager and all through a change of formation.

We have unleashed the beast "ade" and scored 3 in a league game for the first time all season... be happy people, if we can win our next game then we are back in the mix.

Each step at a time! We need to sort out our defence again.

Seeing a youngster come on like bentelab and look so comfy from our youth team makes me wonder why on earth we bothered signing the likes of paulinho, capoue and holtby, maybe one of them but all three?

Theres proof we have the players in our ranks!

Baby steps for now but COYS

So proud of our team today. Yeah we looked a bit rusty but I can honestly say I haven't seen that much hunger for ages.

Someone mentioned that Rose was poor today, I thought he quality. Didn't back out of any challenges, flew up and down the wing constantly, never gave up even when he was slightly injured!

So happy to have some attacking play back in our squad....last time we scored 3 goals in a game was 10 months ago? Haha

Most goals, most excitement, least boredom. Win away against proper side.

Youre welcome.

West Brom is going to be better though.

2-0 win against Norwich in the League and 4-0 win against Villa in the Cup were both better all round performances, attack, defence, structure, control. Just being pedantic ;)

Today showed that we have a man in Sherwood who knows the club inside out with his usage of Bentaleb and Lamela. He took quite a few risks: playing an open formation, Brining on a kid for his debut, Bringing on a striker at 3-2, taking off Lamela and leaving Siggy on. But all of these risks paid off.

He looks as if he has such an attacking mentality, the old Spurs way in you score and we'll score more. I'm not saying he deserves the job after one game, but he certainly is putting his foot in the right direction.

These risks may not always pay off, but if we want top 4, we don't have much of another choice, but taking them.

But good game, good result and we all should be happy, or happier then we have been for the past few weeks.

We out scored them, and the score line should of looked far healthier in our favour.

A bit light at times, but honestly - thank fuck we saw something today.

Ok, did you prefer Everton away or that? Reason I ask is because Everton away was a good solid performance. Efficient that. But today was like, yeas we'll fuck ya.

What do you want?

This is complete tactical naivety and is not how to move forward as a club!

A mixture please, there needs to be more balance and structure than there was today that's for sure.

Did anyone else notice the Ref looking at Ade as he danced his celebration dance to the fans after scoring his second goal? He was looking at him as if to say 'what the fuck do you look like?' Hilarious.

Lets he honest...the first half wasn't great, but in the second half we battered them. Could easily of been 5-2 if Soldado was finishing.
He might actually start stepping up again now, now that he knows he is going to get chances.

I think all those chances caught him by surprise. Still, even when he is not scoring he still plenty else where, that cross for Ade. Soldado to Defoe "Anything you can do, I can do better :D"

Yup, it was very funny.

He looked like a stick insect having a bit of fit.
