Spurs ace Lucas Moura's wife celebrates win with brilliant stadium post
Lucas Moura excelled for Tottenham as they completed an impressive win over Manchester City on Sunday, and the Brazilian was cheered on by his stunning wife in the stands
I’m away so had to watch the game with a mate who supports Chelsea. He could not believe we had a player like JT that he had never heard of. Said he wished he was at Chelsea
I’m not going to lie I was absolutely shitting myself seeing Dier and Sanchez start but they were fucking sublime. Loved that they were barking orders to the other defenders and midfielders as well.
Skipp and Tanganga didn’t look one foot out of place against arguably the best squad in Europe.

The back four looked so organised, fighting for each other, well proud of them and the whole team
Just reading back through this thread. The melting when people saw the lineup is hilarious. First game of the season and people already preferring to slag off players and management before either have been given a chance. Fans? Supporters? Giraffe. Thank God the people inside the stadium were behind the team. Hope some humble pie is on the menu this morning. If you’re just after big names on the team sheet and in the dugout, feel free to bugger off to the team we beat yesterday. They’re a club of plastic melts. Many on here would fit in well.
You idiot levy-lover. You’re supposed to slag off the players, manager, everything, wish for Conte and a team of galactico mercenaries, NDombele should be captain and Lucas and Son can never lead the line etc etc I want a ST refund blah blah blah.Forgive me for not joining in with the pre-match massive meltdown.
Football's a funny old game. I have us penciled in for the unlikeliest of wins today.
1-0
One thing I noticed about Alli was, in the the counter attack for Sonny's goal Alli was the furthest(of the players who broke for counter) away from the city goal but as the ball went in he was the closest to city's goal ready to pick up any spillage. Has a knack for it, he will still get a few goals if he plays regularly I think
Yep, the second half was very impressive, we had them on the ropes a few times.
Woken up this morning still buzzing. Didn’t expect that performance. We looked fitter and far more determined than at any point during Mourinho’s reign.
Loved Japhet‘s performance but Lucas just edges MoM for me - incredible desire and athleticism. An afternoon when those head down light-speed charges cause havoc in the oppo’s defence. Honourable mentions for Sanchez & Dier who looked solid and well coached (who would of thought it!).
Aside from the first 15mins I thought we matched them, then started to create the best clear cut chances - Stevie B!!!!!
Me and the lad stayed out till late last night revelling in all the days details. We were loud yesterday . Had mates watching on telly texting saying how incredible the atmosphere was. Well done us!!
A few words on Citeh: pathetic away support. My lad reckoned the quietest he had experienced in the league. A shell of a club with no identity - just a billionaires plaything. Pep really is a hubristic fucking cunt. Thinks he can rest players/tinker and still just waltz up and take the points. Mendy/Ake was an accident waiting to happen.
Interesting to see how we approach the next two league games - when we are expected to have the majority of possession - and interesting to see who else we might bring in. Oh and the H situation - just swallow your pride, stay and become a legend.

A fantastic match. We were organized and disciplined at the back. We did seem to start a bit slow but after the first twenty or so it was even going. Squad seemed juiced in the second half, and Nuno must have made just the right tweaks to get us more on the front foot. Son‘s goal was joyous.
Whatever Nuno is doing, it’s working because he got the best out of the squad. Have not seen Dier and Sanchez ever that good. Tanganga has to stay. anyway late here, great stuff. Let’s keep it rolling.

What did pep waffle about in the post match interview? They turned the sound down in the pub when that came on.
Dele apparently covered more ground than any other player (11.11 km) and clocked the highest average speed (6.9 km/hr) yesterday according to OptaJoe.
As someone who has been critical of his play over the last two seasons I can happily say bloody well done. He was great, particularly in the second half where he refused to let Gündogan out of his sight.

Agree.
I have been brutal on him but he didnt stop working today.
Credit to the kid.
But ... but I didn't say that?
We were brilliant overall. I just said that.
And I don't "want more", because goog football comes first and was duly served. The result followed.
I was merely replying to another post in the constant bickering of partisan views, where I humbly said that perhaps one can appreciate both views.
Good lord, that really have pissed off a lot of people here.
It is probably not the role that the Dele of old imagined himself playing. But he did it really really well yesterday. Hopefully he keeps it up and reinvents himself as a midfielder.
What partisan view is that? Do tell.
