Hugo Lloris - 8 - really really good today, caught everything, was off his line quickly and made a crucial crucial save from Matt Taylor moments before our equaliser, one of, if not his best performance in a Spurs shirt to date.
Kyle Walker - 6.5 - definitely more solid in the second half than the first, Jarvis was causing him problems in the first but I struggle to remember any moments where Jarvis even touched the ball in the second half.
Michael Dawson - 7.5 - solid in the air as usual and our superb form with him back in the side continues, I was wrong to have wanted Dawson out in the summer and I am glad he is proving me and doubters wrong with solid, body on the line performances.
Steven Caulker - 7 - I thought he was solid too, he is going to get better with age and experience, especially playing alongside Dawson too, could have had a hattrick today, should have most definitely have scored one.
Jan Vertonghen - 6.5 - He clearly isn't a left back, don't care if he plays there for Belgium, he shouldn't be playing there for us. He too was also more solid second half, we defended better in the second half I thought.
Aaron Lennon - 6 - Poor from Lennon today. Good tracking back but we can't expect that to be his highlight every game. Not in the game enough, players not passing to him? not demanding the ball enough? no idea but I hope he can switch it on against Arsenal on Sunday.
Scott Parker - 6 - Another poor game from him, silly silly foul too to concede the penalty, no need for it. Admittedly, he was better in the second half as were the whole team in my view. Needs to release the ball quicker though, I'm scared of the prospect of Wheelchair and Cazorla against him.
Mousa Dembele - 6.5 - Another game that wasn't his best but I put that down to him being on an early yellow and not over doing it. Still made some superb tackles and interceptions in dangerous places and seemed to release the ball a lot quicker than he usually does.
Lewis Holtby - 6.5 - Some neat one touch passing here and there but at times I don't feel players are on the same wave length, gave the ball away a few times trying for some balls that would have been good if they came off. I think he should start against Arsenal too.
Gareth Bale - 9 - Wins the game for us again, cracking opening goal and an even better winner, his best of the season. I could watch that goal over and over again, the lad is special and one of the best footballers I have ever witnessed in a Spurs shirt.
Emmanuel Adebayor - 5.5 - No idea how he hasn't ended up with a goal today. Touch was poor. I have no doubt though he will be well up for the Arsenal game, in fact I will probably put money on him scoring, he loves the occasion.

Gylfi Sigurdsson - 7.5 - I thought he was great. Calmed play down at times, passed well, wasn't afraid to put a foot in, hit the post and then finally got his luck when the ball came off Caulkers back and right into his path for the equaliser which set us on our way for all three points!
Tom Carroll - 7 - I liked what I saw. Calm on the ball, he got a 100% pass completion too when he came on, just looked assured on the ball and would love it if by the end of the season or even at times next season he can start games and we can start to see what he's like from the beginning of games etc.
Jake Livermore - N/A - Not really on long enough to rate but I do know that the LIVERMORE EFFECT is still intact, three sub appearances in the last three games and three winning goals in the dying moments!
