To add to my post earlier on his effort in winning the ball back for his first goal, would Sandro have competed with the goalie the way he did to force th 2nd goal ? Yep he's rough but he seems to have the determination to make it work, not sure how much game time he's had in the two games, but 3 goals is a pretty god return when we're in desperate need of them. lets hope Koeman uses him to best effect.

I'm impressed with his determination to win the ball back at the start of the move for his first, not sure we ever saw Rom do that. Certainly has a role to play for us at the moment.

Baines, just ahead of Pickford. He was the only outfield player who kept trying to do something to get us back into the game. Pickford saved us from being totally embarrassed ?

If we're going to struggle to score, and we are, we need to keep clean sheets, I just can't see it happening with this bloke. Holgate can defend, if not him let's give Kenny the opportunity to show what he can do.

Poor on the first goal, but saved us from conceding at hatful. We lost all confidence after the first and defended naively from then on.

Awful display today, we played very narrow, Spurs always had an outlet with both their full backs, I lost count on how many times they sprayed the ball out to Davies on the touchline, Martina was nowhere near him, Kane won every header and held up the ball well. We were OK up to the first goal, which looked like a misplaced cross, I thought we were going to give them a game, after that we fell apart and lost all confidence. 2nd half we were clapping the players for keeping the ball in play, that's about it. Williams, Martina and Klassen very poor, Sandro took some heavy knocks. like everyone else, I'm concerned on where we go from here.

At least there's someone with worse team selection qualities than me then?

Seamus is a rare example of how to behave, many other players should hang their heads in shame

Me too, and I've got Joe Hart as sub, need to take him out deffo!

I'm not impressed with Koemans after match statement, "we need a striker" that's been known since Lukaku left, Sandro was always an unknown prospect. He's now pretty much announced we're desperate, we're going to held to ransom over it. We should have bought an experienced CF early in the window with a view to offloading if Sandro and DCL are able to step up( which I think DCL will do, and much sooner than Sandro if he does at all on what we've seen so far) Dzeko or Giroud who may have second thoughts after Arsenals showing yesterday!

Pickford for me, just pipped Rooney, made a composed and assured PL debut

Shukes, you forgot Martina I'm thinking that they need a few more games together to show what Koemans looking for, Rooney seems too desperate to force an impact rather than it happening instinctively, Sandro has a lot of energy, needs to learn how to stay on his feet ( same as Barkley), Keane will settle in, and Pickford looks confident already and will continue to grow in stature. There's still something missing, I'll,be happy with Sigi for £40m or less, over that and we're being fleeced, and a big strong CF ( no not Deeney )

We need to keep him, he brings pace in to the game which we need after watching the last two games.

That makes a lot of sense to me, well said

Ta. Mike, yep I'm nervous, but I think we'll get the job done tomorrow

Happy to see it's on itv4, missed last weeks game. Any idea when the next round is? would like to take my lad to his first European game before school starts again and it gets too late for him.

I'd be OK sending Ashley Williams back as part of the deal, he's not impressed me so far

Throw in Niase sounds better to me

Absolutely brilliant, what price would he command in today's market?

Another bullet dodged as far as I'm concerned, too inconsistent, there's been a few flashes of brilliance but not enough for us to invest in him.

Couldn't agree more, hope TP wasn't aware it was today

I've wanted him to go for a while now, think we can do better with a team player, having just seen the video of him and Pogba in LA talking about seeing him in training tomorrow, I want it done now, absolutely no respect for anyone, totally self centred. If he had put as much effort into learning how to control the ball as he has on leaving Everton, I might, just might have wanted him to stay.

Tristagi has is right for me, commercially it will raise our global profile many times over its current status. We all complain that we don't get the best sponsors on board, it's due to us not having the commercial clout, Rooney would raise our profile and therefore the commercial clout.

Ross needs to take a long hard look at himself, to be replaced as a starter for England by Livermore, he's not doing something right, he might well have more talent and flair ( when he can be arsed to put some effort in) but it's too inconsistent. If he's not careful the boat is going to well and truely sail without him. If he wants to save his England career, he should make sure he's no 1 choice on his clubs team sheet week in week out. I would love him to do it here, but I struggle to see it happening

Finn, are you at Glastonbury?
