The players played very committed defense. No real offense was generated apart from the rather fortunate goal- stats agree.

I wouldn't say there was much of a gameplan at all, other than the usual press hard + angeball, and be very committed defensively, so it's hard to see how the players could really 'hijack' it. Our opposition was of terrible quality and failed to significantly test us.

It was a rather bland battle of two offensively poor teams and we won out with marginally better defense. It also happened to be a game that awarded Spurs their first trophy in a very long while.

To be fair the three most creative players in the team were injured in Maddison, Kulusevski and Bergvall.

Precisely...good analysis.
 
THE DAYS OF ANGE BALL is OFFICIALLY OVER

Such much for stubborn old Ange and his suicidal high line.
Never mind craving flair and flamboyance or the blind stupidity of the gung-ho charge.
it's now sit back & defend and then counter. . .

<will he still hold on to the job after ditching his principles - we are not who were are?>

People have misunderstood Ange's philosophy.

The Chelsea game, when we were down to 9 men was not about playing a high line for the sake of it. It was about teaching the players that you never give up, and you always try and win the game - no matter what. You don't sit back and accept defeat. You don't do 'damage limitation', and you don't wait for the other team to make a mistake. You work hard and always believe you can win.
