As a Tottenham supporter, I am baffled more than most at why Kane is taking set pieces. He rarely takes ours and having him take them is taking away the threat he poses at the other end of them. It wasn't his best game in terms of goal scoring, obviously, but he was still being Kane, getting involved, closing down, working hard. Thought Rose, Walker, Dier and Alli played well.
I thought Lallana played quite well too, which I wasn't expecting.
Better defending from the CBs and Hart for their goal, and we'd have won. I don't know why Rose, possibly the smallest man left on the pitch, was left to mark two or three players.
The game was crying out for Vardy/Sturridge/Rashford but because of the kind of manager Hodgson is, as soon as we went 1-0 up, he was only ever going to try and see the game out.

Lamela and Eriksen take our corners. Kane takes the odd free kick every now and then, but I can't remember the last time he took a corner for us. I'm not sure he ever has.
