Match Premier League - Home to Aston Villa - 03/11 - 2pm KO

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Wonderful result. To be fair, although not better than us by any stretch, at half time they simply looked better coached and organised. Second half, we simply strung them out, upped the tempo and looked a different animal. Nice to see.
 
We frankly don’t look like we even have an identity. Just pointless possession. It’s all so stale.

Emery is an actual coach with actual tactics, not some blagger from the A League.

Yes mate. Emery's tactic was superlative, next level stuff. So much culture and the Spanish accent ties it all together. Gives it much more gravitas and credibility.

Now Villa fuck off
 
So many positives to take. Hard to play against them because of how deep they sit and can hurt you on the break. Add in the time wasting and it’s not easy to get any momentum against them.

Dragusin excellent today.
Bentancur had a great game in the first half.
Sarr outstanding. Madders getting his goal.

Solanke deserved his two goals because he is so unselfish in how he plays. He works harder than any centre forward in the league and for long periods he’s not in the game but he pops up with a bit of class for the first and an easy tap in for the second.
 
I made the mistake of reading this thread during the first half. Corrected my behaviour at half time.

All I have to say to all the miserable fucking melters in here is...

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha! Don't you all look like petulant little knobs?!
Nothing at all wrong with critiquing our play during a match or pointing out players who aren’t playing well, etc. it’s this whole “sack the manager, sell all the players” thing based on a few minutes of football that didn’t go our way that’s fucking annoying.

Can imagine some of these at home, when their mum lights a candle, do they phone the fire brigade and say the house is burning down?

Fucking knee jerking twats and there seems to be more of them every fucking week.
 
We're a team that does very well in chaos and transitions.

As players tire and the game stretches we look more dangerous but for long spells we look out of ideas.

If teams just get men behind the ball then we need to press like crazy to force errors and chaos, that's what we didn't do in the first half.
 
Surprising but actually very effective subs from Ange.

Thoroughly enjoyed that second half.

I know better than getting excited, but this team is showing some signs of becoming a force. Some.
