Why is it a certainty though?
I don't remember West Ham being backs to wall when they played them 2nd half......
I didn't see that game but Spurs have superior squad and home teams usually wake up after bad first halves.
Spurs were always going to be miles better in the second half. While we should've tried to hold on to the ball more, we were always going to be with our backs against the wall most of the second half.
Glass half empty.
Second half was poor but you should still be able to take some positive things from an away win against Spurs after winning Chelsea 2-0. Clean sheets on both of those games is amazing and Pardew should get some praise instead of this 'papering over the cracks' s***.
Away to Everton in a battle for second place (kind of). 60% possession. Seven shots to 0.
Bit harsh.
You have scored two goals just twice this season. Looking at your squad it is pretty dull.
