Dele Alli-7.5

I have a feeling this rating is going to shock some people. I acknowledge that the English starlet tries to do too much with the ball at times, but he didn’t have any support today. He nearly scored an equalizer early in the second half, and was the only Spur who consistently tried to pull off anything creative.

Was he perfect? Of course not. But if one of his tricks had gotten him in on goal we’d all be talking about how stellar a second half he played. Unfortunately, he didn’t find the back of the net, and that will gain him mountains of criticism. It’ll be unfair though, he was the brightest member of the squad for long stretches.

Eric Dier-4.5

I tweeted during the match that Eric Dier was a passenger. I’m not sure I’m capable of describing his performance any better now. I didn’t think he should have started ahead of Victor Wanyama, and his listless performance proved me right.

He, along with Kane, need to get some rest before they step back onto the pitch for Spurs. The club can’t afford to let him play through his doldrums if they want to get results.
