Tottenham Hotspur are looking to cement their place in the top four of the Premier League today, while the hosts West Bromwich Albion need a win to keep their hopes of another season in the top flight alive.
The Baggies have parked the bus for the majority of the first half, while Spurs have had decent chances through Harry Kane and Victor Wanyama, only to be thwarted by keeper Ben Foster and it remains 0-0 at the break. The home side had a decent chance on 40 minutes to take the lead after some good work from Jay Rodriguez, but was unable to find a team-mate with his ball across the box.
There’s no doubt there are there for the taking, but we need to make our possession count and be more clinical in the final third.
Below, we have put together a selection of thoughts and reaction from your fellow Spurs fans based on the first half display.
This is another frustrating watch. Lots of possession almost no decent attempts on goal, inviting getting caught on the break. #THFC

Alderweireld has been exceptional in this first-half. Has brought a sense of real calm and composure to our defence.
Should be doing everything in power to keep the player if he wants to stay at our football club.

Got to stop giving WBA the sole thing they thrive on. Free kicks and corners.

Lamela is the worst player I’ve ever seen play for spurs I have no idea how he continues to deceive half our fan base

WBA hardly had an attack but look much more like scoring. Jesus. #THFC

Have something to tell us about this article?
Absolute shambles today cannot score 1 goal and certain players want more money damn cheek !!
Shambles is the right word to sum that up. Top 3 to fight for against a team bottom of the table and they did that. Poch is like Benitez of old, an “advertiser” no interest at all in the domestic cups and just looking for recognition in European football. He and his team can’t even do that right.
With so much to play for to turn up and give nothing as the whole team did today shows you exactly what’s happening at the club at the moment.
Not buying a new shirt until we win something.
Everytime we get in a position to take 3rd spot we bottle it bunch of bottlers !!
Pathetic !!
