He was absolutely fantastic. And has been since he arrived. Surpassing my expectations and he's clearly got a point to prove. Seems like a good guy too.
Nice rest for a week now as hopefully Lankshear starts vs Tamworth.
Everyone great last night in all honesty. Good to be Spurs this morning!
that pass with the outside of the boot at 19 seconds in was absolutely fucking sublime, if the runner (Son?) had predicted it and gone a bit earlier he's clean through 1-on-1 with the keeper there from nothing.
Would love to see us do that more often during games to keep teams honest, I do prefer building from the back but predictability has become a big issue with our work in the defensive third in buildup.
I'll reserve that promise for if we win the cup.
If we win a cup this season we want to see the Goats neck being snapped by a pair of female thighs
When was the last time we won against Liverpool (in any competitions)? Was it that 3-1 victory in 2017?
I know it's been ages, so this one feels really good. Just hope we can make this count now and get to the final.

Last season at home in the league. Only 9 days of national mourning were declared that time, so you may have missed it
Problem is lack of knowledge all round as when they cut back to the Sky studio, they said Ange was completely wrong.
Jamie...Redknapp...saying...others...are...wrong.
These are the standards being fed to the viewer.
Can I just add regarding Solanke’s offside goal , which I thought was a dubious call looking at Trent but ….. why the fuck do the close ups look like an 8 bit graphics ?? We’ve got HD , 4K and god knows what else but the imaginary is terrible
If we do manage to get over the line with two games to go.........that Ange post match interview is going to be a cracker.
Literally every journalist has their knives out with the 'second season trophy' stuff ready to put the boot in and they keep banging on about it.
COME ON YOU SPURS - TWO GAMES TO GO!!

In the cold light of day after last night's high ,thinking it all through .
When all things considered , players available to both teams ( especially the strength of the benches ) that really was a fabulous performance and wonderful result . Fair play to everyone involved .
Hopefully a sign we can now kick on

I repeat what I said a fair few weeks ago to raised eyebrows and a laughter emoji from the one iditiot. He's the best fullback.at Spurs fullstop it was obvious a far back as Coventry game. The thing he does in these clips repeatedly is win headers his direct rivals can't.

This was quite a grind, never thought I'd say this for a match under Ange actually. We needed to make it as ugly as we could though, that end-to-end stuff we saw in 3-6 would lead to a similarly one sided match and outcome.
They once again pressed the hell out of our back 5+DM, yet we dealt with it significantly better this time. We still had to resort to long balls at times, which was unavoidable due to how well they press as a team, yet we didn't capitulate and get trapped in our own half like we did last time. Bissouma in place of Sarr, and obviously Kinsky in place of Forster were the difference makers in that regard. Especially the latter was the ultimate press breaker for me, he played the entire match like an outfield player. It's not a must from a keeper, but it surely is a luxury to have.
Our defending still bordered on reckless and even chaotic sometimes, mainly because Bergvall's ambitious forward runs and Kulusevski's poor showing compromised the team shape, but in general I feel we did a good job keeping things tight. We clearly weren't all over the place like we were last time, despite players evidently getting tired in the last 20-30 min. Bissouma who did a really good job as the single pivot, Gray who looked as natural as can be at CB, and Spence who managed to keep a world class player in check deserve special recognition, but it was an impressive collective effort nonetheless.
Hard to pick a MOTM here, but the quartet of Kinsky/Gray/Spence/Bissouma stood out to me.

mate. I was hugely buoyed by last nights performance. Thought the keeper was immense on debut. Spence, Grey, Bergvall and Solanke were excellent. The signs for those just mentioned have been there for a while now and to varying degrees they’ve been the stand outs while other, more high profile players, have dipped.Have to say too, as a critic of Ange and ‘Angeball’ that he got his tactics spot on last night - FB’s playing as FB’s. Tight in MF (well, ‘tighter’ ) etc etc. credit where it’s due.
Things you find out in adversity eh? Hopefully, we can kick on now. Though, it’s not worth getting ahead of ourselves. One game at a time and count the days until injured players are back.
There'd be a hell of a queue building up for people to give him a slap . Can't bloody stand him
Agreed. Even though he's not officially a left back I still much prefer him there to Udogie. Just more assured in defence and offers no less in attack if we're honest. I'd keep using Porro for his attacking output but no harm in rotating them for the right matches.
Thanks. Wasn't able to watch last night - a useful (and fair) summary.
