We won 2-1 at Portsmouth, great away result with lots of lessons to learn.

We have our Gomez to thank for making 3 magnificent saves. However, he is still quite a suspect at long ball situation (although he's already better than last season).

The defence look solid with King back at the fort. The decision to add Dawson to form three centrehalves was a good one.

The midfield is still not providing enough cover for the back for resulting the introduction of Dawson. Lennon is not doing enough run down the wing. Krancjar is not creating enough by drawing players toward him and releasing the players around him.

Defoe did well to score, he did better when he totally ignore the team's objective. He was determined to score right from the start, ignoring that Keane is probably in better position than him.

Defoe also forgotten that he is a professional player and no player would like to have his leg stamped, this action/reaction may cause player/s to loose their legs if not their career/s. He also played into Fratton park's fans hand by being sent off. Moreover, the team is strongly handicapped by his rashful act. So Defoe: "However smart and good you are, you are only a player in a team, play for the team and not your own selfishness!"

Crouch did well to play as the lone striker and gotten into good position to score despite the handicap.

I suggest Harry to implement a fine on Defoe so as to teach all players the importance of playing for the team and not let selfishness stand. He should not condone to such acts.

Playing at Fratton Park is not going to be easy for Harry, Krancjar, Crouch and Defoe, let alone a man down in the second half. We shown great character to weather the storm and pull together a victory with 10 men away.

This is the type of performance which will make a Spurs fans proud and sing "COMON YOU SPURS!!!"
