OK I've just watched the second half again on full matches and shows.
It wasn't as bad as I feared. It was scrappy, Saudi Sportswashing Machine had a little flurry but we were in control, just not making clear chances.
Lots of huff and puff but nothing incisive enough, no brilliance to split them open.
Carroll was poor in the first half and poor again in the second half and was rightly removed.
We were playing 4-1-4-1 so a lot of onus on Dier... one time he tried a mazy run on the left wing and lost the ball and we were wide open but otherwise he stayed in there pretty well.
Near the end, Perez beat Toby but Jan put in a good challenge to clear... felt like that was Saudi Sportswashing Machine's big chance ... then at 89 mins Saudi Sportswashing Machine were hanging on, trying to bring on Gouffran to kill time.
Then they broke through again, Mitrovic missed a sitter from Sissoko's square ball... phew I guess that one was actually Saudi Sportswashing Machine's big chance and they fluffed it for no reason... then on 93 mins they scored from a simple bit of head tennis, header forwards, flick on, control and finish from nowhere... very disappointing. Spurs were really pushing forwards and they were sitting deep... so suddenly they got a flurry of chances near the end. We should have had things covered but Mitrovic and Perez made the difference.
Lloris was bad for both goals. For the second goal his leg was there but he dived out of the way to try and use his hands... if he had just stood there like a statue it would have hit him.
For the first goal, when Coloccini headed it back across goal Lloris was instinctively moving backwards, falling behind his line, so when someone (Wijnaldum I think) headed it forwards at 1 mile per hour he was already flinching and falling and scrabbling and just flapped it past Toby and onto Mitrovic. I don't know why Lloris is scared in situations like that but he does have a tendency to fall back into his net which makes it almost impossible to save anything, he should be moving forwards like an angry starfish.
