My ratings against Villa after watching the game on the Spurs website. I wanted to concentrate on the perceived poor performers already mentioned.
Lloris 5, Tanganga 7, Toby 6.5, Dier 6.5, Reggie 4, Hojbjerg 6.5, Winks 6 Dele 6.5, Bergwijn 7, Son 4, Kane 6, Bale 5.5, Ndombele 6, Doherty 5.
Mason 4.
I didn't think Winks was that bad. I didn't think Kane was as bad as some reports.
Son was poor.
I thought the ref was generally poor on decisions to both sides.
Lloris clumsy for the pen shout, could have been given. Foul on Winks not given. Various other poor decisions.
Do we think Lloris would have been that clumsy if we actually had a centre half who could position himself well, run at pace alongside a forward and shepherd the ball out? Dier just got hopelessly out of position, then delegated to Lloris by sticking his arm up, something you're taught never to do. Toby was in no man's land as well.
Unfortunately, playing with sub-standard centre halves can have this kind of effect on even the best keepers. Lloris should have read it better though.
