At half time at 0-0 I was pleased with how we had kept it at 0-0 and asked for us to be a little more patient in the last third and retain the ball better.
The problem we had was that we were playing as well as we could and our substitutions made us worse - their substitutions improved them. Darren Bent is just the type of striker we needed when we purchased Heskey, as a struggling side he offers the square root of fuck all unless he is 6 yards from goal. Sadly a pitch is 110 yards. The fact of the matter is we're not good enough. Delph, Bannan and Albrighton have all started games this season and they're clearly not good enough. El Ahmadi doesn't instill me in confidence when we play 4-4-2. Holman, you can't fault his effort or work rate but the quality is championshipesque. As for the youngsters like Bennett, Lowton and Benteke, they need to be given time, but it would help their development if they were playing with experienced premiership players and not the likes Delph, Bannan and Albrighton.
Spurs are a million miles ahead of us, the diffference being they have an astute business man who knows his football in Daniel Levy, we have Lerner who doesn't give a fuck.
Even West fucking Brom are better than us and it fucking hurts like hell.
