awful game last night, one of those you wish you had the time back.
Losing Rose made it a lot harder for us to create chances, he's vital to us as that outlet down the left, and most of our attacking play in the first half went through him. Davies whilst good, isn't as attacking, and we lose our impetus when the ball is swung across to him. Though to give him credit he was pushing on more than I've seen him do before.
Felt like we'd gone back a couple of seasons, where we had lots of possession, camped out on the oppositions box and never actually made any meaningful attempts to score. Sunderland happy with the point, Defoe gave us a couple of scares with his pace, but Vorm only had a couple of saves to make all game. Ndong, and Kone looked good for Sunderland, gave them some bite.
Alli, Eriksen, Kane out of sorts, Sissoko still not done enough to be first attacking option off the bench, Janssen wasn't given any time or service, meh game, which takes on more significance with the results for Chelsea and Arsenal.
Still 2nd's not to be sniffed at...
