Tottenham player ratings: Spurs loss to Monaco
Harry Kane-4
This was one of Harry Kane’s weakest matches in a Spurs shirt. I’ve argued that he should have been rested before now, and it’s clear to me that he has to be given the Sunderland match off. He looked tired and off the pace all match long.
He had the best chance to tie the match in the second half, but fired his shot directly at the Monaco keeper. Kane was terrible today and something has to change before he steps onto the pitch for Tottenham again.

Erik Lamela-5
The Argentine attackers gave his detractors plenty of fodder today. He never really got into the flow of the match offensively, and his giveaway in the first half led to Bernardo Silva’s goal. His only saving grace is that he worked his socks off, per usual.
Christian Eriksen-6
Tottenham’s Danish midfielder had a reasonably bright start to the game, but was nearly invisible during the second half. If he wants to be considered one of the best players in the squad, he has to come up big when it matters most. He failed to do that miserably today.
Son Heung-Min-5
Son got the start as a result of his two goal performance at Stoke, and looked reasonably lively to start this match. In fact, he should have scored the match’s first goal but had his tame effort cleared off the line by a Monaco defender.
He faded as the first half went on and was mercifully taken off early in the second stanza. He really failed to capitalize on his momentum from the Stoke match.
