He is more lost now as Spurs are all about pace. He slows down our attacks by passing side ways or back wards. He knows his limitations so is honest enough that way. Needs to be replaced would only be on bench if Sandro was fit.

It seemed like a re-run of earlier games. Enough possession, but little cutting edge or idea in the final 3rd.
Bale playing the roaming role just seems to congest the centre. BAE was given a bit of space on the left but barely put a ball into the box. Lemmon hardly got on the ball.
Dembele seemed completely out of it, until he scored and Holtby started brightly, but died off in the second half. So the creative midfield wasn't firing on all cylinders.

Having said all that, maybe simply because of how Lyon played, I thought we were the best team on the night and deserved the win.

I think as a whole we were poor gave the ball away far to much and looked like we had no idea how to break them down Parker Dembele,Gallas,Lenon,Adebayor were never in the game and when Parker and Dembele did get the ball they gave it away we are really missing Defoe.
Overall i think we are paying the price of not buying in January.

In fairness, he looked after the ball very well last season, his passing being mainly safe rather than incisive. Sandro has his own fair share of misplaced passes, but they are both good at breaking up play, something we have been thankful for on lots of occasions. Prefer Sandro though as he is younger and stronger. Both are better than Livermore, who suits the bench more than the pitch.

The only thing I see from himis destructive, he stops other teams playing. Don't see him being here next year, hopefully we buy a younger DM to rotate with Sandro.
Great strike from Dembele.
Just watching L/pool, 2-1 up at the mo, still need 2 more without reply!!!
