A lot of people overreacting to the result, which I guess is understandable considering we've been in such great form over the last 6 months. However, I just can't wrap my head around the "supporters" who needlessly bash on our players. It's fine for you not to like them (you are entitled to your opinion) but we don't need the constant negativity on the board do we
Overall, I thought there were some positive signs to take away from the game:
- Despite being at fault for the first goal, Moreno looked lively and I think against most other teams he will bring us a lot of joy as an attacking outlet down the left flank. He's rather snappy in the tackle too!
- Allen looks like he is growing into a solid CM. He doesn't do anything fancy, but he is good in possession and he reads the game well to press when we lose the ball. I just don't think we have enough creativity in the engine room with him, Stevie, and Hendo all playing.
- Markovic was lively and showed why he is so highly rated. Not even on the field 2 minutes and we fashioned 2 decent chances from his flank. When he hits full fitness and finds his feet in England he will be a very good player for us.
- Studge looks better suited to playing with a strike partner. Hopefully Balo can strike up a quick partnership with him.
At the end of the day, we took one on the chin from last seasons champions on their turf. It happens. Dust yourselves off and refocus on Spurs.
