Well that was awesome. Capoue and Bentaleb are freaking force to be reckoned with as a mid field duo. Lamela with 4 assists this week, not bad. Eric Dier was a beast all day, surprisingly good in the air for his height. Danny rose played good as well. I really didn't see a bad performance from any one player, even Kaboul had some good moment's. Dembele should see less time on the field.

Dembele looked really rusty, but he has immense talent. We will need the depth there. He needs to keep playing.

I wonder what Poch will do with the defense when Kyle Walker is healthy. Dier has clearly earned his spot.

This will be a tough decision... I have no idea.

I'll let Poch decide that and just enjoy those performance instead.

That's what he gets paid the big bucks I guess.

Just finished watching the 2nd half! Spurs looking really good and I love the chemistry this team seems to have.

Of course Poch knows better than me, but I wouldn't mind seeing Walker start and Dier slide back over to take Kabouls spot.

If Dier can play CB, what we got him for, as strongly as right back, we could eventually have a scary defense.

Davies - Vertonghen - Dier - Walker

Although Danny Rose is not losing his spot without a fight.

That would be my preference also. Kaboul DID look better today vs last week. But I think Dier has outplayed him so far in 2 performances.

Seriously? I haven't watched much of your games this year, but I never thought I'd see the day

I personally am not as high on Bentaleb as I am on Capoue, but he hasn't been noticeably bad, and I think it says a lot that Poch rates him. The team has been clicking, and Bentaleb has surely been apart of it. And at this point, I'd rather have him out there than Dembele, Paulinho, and an unfit Sandro.

Yes it is the truth Bentaleb and Capoue were constantly destroying anything QPR tried to do in the midfield. Just saw on twitter Capoue has the most passes completed in BPL with 170+. During the match today I saw our passing stats at over 600 with 91% completion rate. What are some normal numbers for a game ? In comparison I know QPR only had 100+ with a 60% completion rate.

Bentaleb has definitely played better these first couple of games.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Let's slow your roll there a little bit, eh chief.

Yes, it was a great performance today by Spurs ... against a woeful promoted side that is looking like a favorite to be dropped this year and that wanted no part of pressing Spurs at any point in the game anywhere on the field for 90 minutes. Hence you have a spell where you can complete a 48-pass sequence that leads to a goal.

You should wait until you face a side that has any hope of finishing in the top half of the league before making any sort of outrageous statements like "Spurs are coming for you!" or anything close to that.

Like when you play Liverpool next week ...

Or we could just have fun and say whatever we want.. No one thinks QPR is any good.
