Tottenham vs Stoke a few quick thoughts

The more things change at Tottenham, the more they stay the same.
Dembele starting at wide right was a strange decision and not one that paid of.
Ben Davies is looking good at left back.
I’m liking this new Eric Dier in Centre Midfield, he looks gobby and not afraid to get a bit nasty – we need more of that.
First half we looked decent value for our 2-0 lead but admittedly Diouf should have at levelled it at 1-1 with that header straight at Hugo Lloris.
Then it will went a bit wrong
If there was ever proof that Tottenham need to buy some strikers then we saw it yesterday
Purchasing N’Jie is a small step of still a large problem, when Harry Kane gets subbed off its madness not to have a replacement.
We looked incredibly flat once Kane was subbed off and Lamela looked lost upfront, but that’s a bit harsh on him as it’s not his fault we were lacking in replacement forwards.
The way we finished the game we were lucky to come away with just a point
I’m not sure the boos were necessarily warranted but that seems to be symptomatic of the modern day Football fan.
Next up we go to a Leicester side who have defied all the critics expectations and started incredibly well, so it’s not going to be any easy game. If we don’t get a win there then the murmurs of discontent could get that little bit louder. Let’s hope N’Jie can mark his card with a debut goal.
