Adrian makes his share of mistakes, but I think what he adds in spirit is almost incalculable. AND he did somehow adjust to the deflected Erikson shot and still tip it over -- Major League save, that one.

Tbf that picture doesn't tell the story of what happened. He had the ball in his hands and kouyate headed it out of his hands. Poor play for Kouyate.

Two times I felt he let us down: first, when he was clearly fouled (badly), but then spent a good 15-20 seconds trying to get Mike Dean to blow his whistle, meantime Spurs almost scored. Second, he was directing traffic when Son was approaching (not expecting a shot), then didn't close down Son, and then turned his back on the shot. But he added so much grit through the midfield for most of the game that Spurs could have had two or three were it not for him. So it evens out for me; I give him a six. Reid and Ogbonna are still suspect for me. Thought Zabs and Arthur had great games.

I think you've seen an overall problem we have, Obiang, Kouyate and Reid are brainless, constantly need to be told to get back in to position.

why do players turn there backs, they need to get in the nets against Anderson, get used to taking it on the body, its not that they do not get paid enough. Great performance, I thought the week link was Kouyate, and Rice was excelent

Unfortunately this reaction is deep rooted in the grey matter defending yourself against danger isn't a conscious one. In times of danger in 99% of situations the body actually takes over and defends itself. Its a natural reaction. Bit like a golfer keeping his head down when you want to see where your ball has gone but in this situation you've got to defy what your brain is commanding you to do. Other wise you'll never be any good. Another example of a natural reaction is when your with your bit on the side and her husband comes home unexpectedly you jump out the window .
