Tuesday Review

Tottenham 1-3 Everton
Tabloids will talk of a crisis at White Hart Lane, as Spurs crash to their second successive defeat, in a season which was supposed to offer them so much. On the evidence of this, it will still offer them much, but they are looking weak in midfield and at the back, especially with Kaboul limping off. Everton, on the other hand, looked strong and played some attractive football; Arteta was the conductor of this win, controlling the tempo, setting up most of the attacks. One concern for Everton is that their centre forwards aren't scoring yet; if Yakubu had been playing here, he would have linked with AJ better than Anichebe did. In summary, it's difficult to read too much into the second match of the season, but there were many periods where Spurs looked deadly, and even at 3-1 down, they looked like they could have still won the match.
