Tottenham lost against Milan 1:0 on San Siro, but it was not because Sarr or Skipp fall under influence of hot atmosphere. Youngsters were among the best players in the squad. Especially Sarr was good to the point that he was similar to Bentancur in some situations. I hope that partnership will continue to develop into something more creative in attacking phase. However for that they would need Son and Kulusevski to start playing football again.

Those two Son and Kulusevski looked like completely helpless, like players who can't go around opponent in one on one, can't make space for cross in similar situation not to mention inability to go inside and shot to second hand MIlan goalkeeper who we didn't even test yesterday.

Entire team did effort last night, they fought, but it seems Milan read our tactic and individual player skill to good. A part from few offside situations we didn't create any danger in front of goal except poor Dier's header after suffering Ivan Perisic finally found him inside the box from corner and not Milan goalkeeper. By the way he was trying that entire game from every corner and I wonder why is that ? We made so many corners and in most of them ball just went into keeper's arms. I asked myself is that set piece specialist still with us or not ? Gianni Vio where are you ?

Romero need to work on himself. Way how he lost air duel before goal, way how he made orange card tackle in second half were for big concern. Some other referee would give him straight red for that open sole reckless tackle and it seems he didn't understand why he got even yellow ? Someone need to explain him. He's to important to get red cards every two games. It was orange card tackle if you understand me.

Dier hit his limit. I really don't understand constantly trying to cross toward him from corners. Lenglet is not player for this club, Ben Davies was shocking after he came in, while Royal was again very good.

I am still hearing excuses for supermodel Son Heung-min like Perisic is bothering him, going to his space, tactics doesn't suit him. It's same tactic and formation from last year when he shared golden boot award when we scored a lot of goals. In this season with same tactic he was equally poor no matter who is playing on the left Sessenon or Perisic. He is holding ball for to long, he is trying to do complicated things he can't do and get dispossessed or falls because he find himself between to many opponents. Why to release ball on time to team mate who is alone when I can try to dribble two or three players when in reality I can't dribble one ? Here is situation from the second half. He was on the right wing one on one with opponent, but failed to find space for cross or to go around him. He tried to cross but he got blocked and ball went in corner and promising attack ruined. What kind of winger are you if you can't make space for cross and do good cross in one one one ? I can understand when you are one on two, but in one on one you must dominate defender if you are real winger. If you are not tell us please so we can try someone else on your position. He was that bad that I am not sure if Gil could do more than him. I don't understand why is this Calvin Klein supermodel Son starting every game? Is it Asian's sponsor's request ? Son is more and more looking like Dele Alli in last seasons in Spurs. From outside it looks like football is not priority in his life any more.

Other struggling guy Dejan Kulusevski only crushed and wrestled with opponents, gave effort, but couldn't do anything like making good cross or going inside and shot or make some good intelligent pass. "Ginger from Sweden" is not the same player after returning from injury. He is more and more like Lucas Moura.

It's pure luck we lost just 1:0. Result is that low because Leao failed to calm down ball and that helped Forster come to it before him. Milan also missed two headers from 5 meters which would be goals any other day. Shots went few cm near post of our goal.

Effort was there, wish to get the ball also, field play looked more less ok, but lack of actions, good ball flow, creating chances were missing. Milan players also made to many fouls especially one blond who I think made even penalty after hitting Harry Kane's face with hand. He didn't get even one yellow card...Shocking.

Well when you buy veteran players for free like Forster, Perisic or rejects from big club on loan like Lenglet you can't expect wonders from them. This was Milan which conceded a lot of goals against Sausolo in Serie A, with second hand goalkeeper on goal, but we didn't even test him. We just tried to injury him when poor Lenglet kicked him in second half in one situation.

Good news is we are still in the game for next round. Chelsea demolished that Milan in London in group stage, maybe we can win them with 3:1 or 2:0 too. To do that we need to rise level of game, be more creative, create good actions and chances. However even if we do that I have no illusion that next opponent in Champions League will wipe floor with us.
