An afternoon of turgid and virtually entertainment free football at White Hart Lane saw Everton return north with all three points and Spurs drop to 16th place with only goal difference keeping us out of the bottom three.

Near the beginning of last season (and two Tottenham managers ago) Everton also won at WHL but what a contrast that game was to this. On that occasion Arteta made great use of the space in midfield to open us up with some fine passing and give the anti-Jol movement in the boardroom a big shove in the direction of southern Spain. This time though there was more space in the away section than there was on the field as the clumps of empty seats in the corner of the Park Lane watched a well organised five man blue midfield successfully stifle any attempts by us to get Lennon or Bentley into positions to attack the defence directly.
