City result , I didn't get carried away with it because I knew with this club what would happen next.

When we win he says it's all about winning.
When we don't win, it's all about the positives and winning isn't everything.
We're nowhere near that good. Unless you mean 19/20
A win is obviously better than a draw. The point I am making is I enjoyed the game last night and I am enjoying the way we are playing this season.
Agree! Under Poch we bossed games when we won. Under Ange we go out hoping to outscore the opposition, that's his strategy. Bit basic no?
Yes obviously I mean 19/20 Poch
Edit: "obviously" in that Poch was sacked in 2019.
But the away form back end of 2018/19 was as inconsistent as we are now.
Do you believe this current squad is as good as any Poch squad post 2014?
That's actually quite a damning indictment tbh. Poch had checked out and was coasting by then. The team had been in decline since we lost Dembele.
OMG, why did I do that to myself. I miss Dembele
It's hard to tell. Johnson is starting to look Dele-esq to me. Deki is starting to look on a par with Eriksen.
Vicario is no worse than Lloris really. Neither were/are great under pressure.
At their very best Romero and VDV are/could be as good as Toby & Jan
If Porro and Udogie were 80% of Walker and Rose then they're both doing well.
Sprinkle in Madison, Bissouma, Bentancur.
I just never feel the team looks as well coached or motivated.
It's not a damning indictment of Postecoglou who, like Poch, is overseeing a complete overhaul of the playing list. You expect inconsistency when that happens unless you're buying ready made world class champions which, obviously, we aren't.That's actually quite a damning indictment tbh.

If Tyson fought like he sparred, he’d knock Paul out in 5 seconds. Wake up
. It was rigged. Now let’s not derail the thread.As a whole and what is being asked of them I'd have to say no! Individually I'd say yes!
Fair dinkum. Seriously? I’ve never heard Ange say style is more important than winning.
you guys need to stop looking for excuses to sack him. Yes, he wants to entertain. And yes he wants to win. What’s wrong with trying to do both? As you all here say historically Spurs trophies and titles are average. So how about have a crack, play entertaining football WHILE trying to win. I mean you guys will find fault with Mother Theresa 
Really? You genuinely believe that BJ Solanke and old Son are as good as Dele, Kane and prime Son?
Biss, and Madders better than Dembele Eriksen?
The back four? Really?
I don't. But I believe the direction of travel is good - better than it has been for 6 years certainly.
It’s better than losing
Bentancur's yellow card kind of forced Ange's hand. He's already suspended for domestic games so we can't afford to lose him for the Rangers game.
To be fair, that's actually a pretty good point you make there.
When stacking the players up side by side (I know that's what you asked) I'd have to concede and agree you are probably right. My thoughts are driven by how we are playing at the moment under AP's "style/philosophy" and I think the current crop would produce better displays, individually and otherwise if AP tempered his approach.
