Spurs lose 2-0 lead
What is it with Spurs, one minute they can look great, the next they are hanging on for dear life. That seemed to be the case on Sunday when they went 2 up with about 30 minutes to go, then Everton made a change and brought on 2 strikers. Credit has to go to David Moyes and Everton for fighting their way back into the game, you just wonder why they didn’t start with the 2 upfront from the start?!
Even though Spurs had the chance to win it in injury time when they got one of the most blatant penalty’s you are ever likely to see, which Jermain Defoe decides to lose all composure with and scuff it straight into Tim Howard’s legs, that isn’t the worst part for me. It’s being in total control of the game and then when the opposition change formation and/or players, don’t adapt to the situation and stop doing all the thing’s that have made them dominant to that point.
When Saha and Yakubu came on, Everton started having more possesion in the final 3rd and pushing on more, but Spurs just stopped pressing and doing all the simple thing’s that put them in control and that is typical Spurs, have a good chance to push on and climb a place in the league and then mess it up.
Tottenham need to learn how to one, convert more of the chances they create and two, see out a game by defending properly, otherwise there is no way they will ever finish in a Champions league place.
