Swansea aren't a bad side at all and on top in midfield, but I think we can definitely finish strong with a couple goals. Eriksen looks likely, N'jie could be a threat as Swansea fatigue. Walker recovered well and is putting in a real shift.

A real shame we're down because I can't believe how dominant we've been.

That's our problem, we're often dominant but not clinical in front of goal. Add our calamity full back into the mix and the awful set up for their corner and all of a sudden we're behind.

How many more seasons are we going to persist with the kyle Walker handicap?

Personally I'd be more afraid of Trippier trying to contain Montero. Kyle wasn't great for the opener but on the other hand a midget winger got a totally free header in the box..

Swansea are poor, overall. Really unlucky to score that own goal there as we would have gone on to win easily imo.

Now it's a bit more up in the air, but if we defend the right hand side properly in the second half we could get 2 or 3 more goals here. But we also have to make the right decisions in the final 3rd.

They are giving us all the space we want, to play, and aren't really setting an effective block of any kind; it's up to us to just go ahead and take the game because it's on a plate for us.

Loved Eriksen's passion when he scored. Glad to see him stoked.

Love how one good half from golden boy eradicates all the shocking performances.

Alli's one foul away from getting booked, and he's not having the best of games- maybe we should swap him for Dembele early in the 2nd half?

This game has been so FIFA-esque, they've had one shot on target but scored two goals.

It really was a monumental f*ck up not buying another striker. I'm also questioning why Njie isn't playing instead of Chadli when Son has shown we need pace to make us an attacking threat. Poor from Levy and Poch.
Because he is still getting used to the league. This is why you're not in charge at Spurs. You might want to apply for the job held by someone at Villa.

Dont think Chadli has done bad but I would like to see clinton come on and stretch them more for the additional space it will provide Kane, Eriksen and Lamela than anything else

Walker has been good actually, apart from the goal when he was put of position

No he hasn't, Montero has consistently arse raped him and he's constantly out of position... pretty much in Toby's back pocket instead of keeping tabs on Montero.

We're the only team in the league that can be losing 2-1 when the opposition have had only 1 shot on target.

Don't deserve to be losing, but I can still see it happening... Hopefully we can take some chances and turn this around in the second half.

dier and alli forced to play every minute due to injuries and their fatigue is showing today... good players, but both suffering. they've been run into the ground and desperately need the int'l break.... not sure what chadli's problem/excuse is.... it would be nice if he actually "ran" at defenders with the ball instead of "loping" at them. he can't be fatigued...

Don't deserve to be losing this.

Will be very disappointed if we don't at least take a point from this, but we're capable of winning it if Poch makes the correct changes.
Sickening thing is our tails were up at 1-1 and I would have fancied up to go on a get another goal or two before half time.

A draw even one down would feel a bit shit against a Swansea side clearly low on confidence.
