Don't think that was entirely down to Hendo.
Second half Spurs moved Alli to the number ten and created an extra man in midfield and for some odd reason we didn't change our shape to accommodate until we went with 3 at the back and Matip was introduced.
I agree, it wasn't entirely down to Hendo, nor was it down to Can or Milner, they were just sh*t and clueless in the 2nd half as a whole. No one in that midfield played well 2nd half.
I also noticed for a lot of our matches, when our midfield is on point, that is mainly down to our attacking players pressing/energy, but when the attack tires or plays sh*t, our midfield crumbles.
They say, when the #6 plays well, the whole team plays well, and if he plays sh*t, the team plays sh*t, but in our case, if Firmino our #9 has a poor game, it seems like our midfield does too as they struggle to control the game which in returns puts pressure on our defense and eventually, we concede!
