Finally able to watch the game today and very disappointed.
Things could have been different if the Son goal wasn't ruled offside. Kane getting hurt didn't help either and is a big blow if he misses a couple weeks as is speculated.
Bringing on Lamela instead of Vinicius to replace Kane was dumb - especially when down. Whats the point of getting a back-up striker if you arent going to use him?
The defence was not good. Dier has done a lot better than I expected him to this year, but I don't think he should be a consistent starter on a (hopefully) top-4 club. The worst part is, he is the best CB the Spurs have right now. Rodon looks promising but he's a kid. Toby's best years are behind him.
As much as I love PEH, and the fact that Ndombele has gone complete beast-mode the last few months, they are missing a key connection between offence to defence. Moose and Winks are not it. Someone needs to bring the ball forward between PEH and Ndombele. I thought that was going to be Lo Celso, but he hasn't been seen.
Rumours around Marcel Sabitzer at Leipzig and Skriniar at Inter would help alleviate those problems, but I don't think the Spurs have that much money - maybe Poch will back that PSG Brinks truck up to get Dele
