Keep pressing play at the 0:04 mark..... The fucking noises this cunt makes......
Look at them Villa players...they just know they're pretenders and nowhere near as good as us.
it's up to us to go on a serious run and really show we mean business
We should be aiming to win our next 5 and go unbeaten for rest of season
What's weird is that Villa and Palace especially, caused us a bit of frustration by playing defensive, not really engaging in the press in first half of games.
Only for both of those teams to come out pressing us in the second half and both times it cost the teams.
They're not the only teams to do it. But it's just odd why teams choose to do it against us. When they do, we absolutely blitz teams and score a few in a spell.
I don't think people realise how draining playing defensive football is.
It was pretty clear that they had received instructions from Ange/someone not to retaliate, especially Udogy!
I think Spurs plan with the lack of strikers capable of scoring 20+ goals being available is to get a number of forwards capable to getting 20 or so goal involvements (ie including assists) in the squad.
Hence we now have Son, Richarlison, Johnson, Werner, Maddison - and we've scored 59 goals in PL this season versus the top 3 who have scored 70, 65 and 63 respectively so our strategy is broadly working given its Johnson's first season and Werner only came in January.
Emre had a mare.
Son's two footed enough to play what was a really simple pass to Kulusevski, and that looked like the best option initially, as it was he left it so late he makes it really tight for Johnson, but Johnson the more reliable finisher so Son made the right choice.

It was a perfectly fine tactic and generated numerous chances on the break that poor decisions from their attackers meant they didn’t score.
They fell apart at 1-0 but before that the game-plan was working fine and they had carved out the better openings, relying a lot on our own (predictable) mistakes.
We were just more clinical when they made mistakes in the 2nd half and tight, tactical affairs tend to end up with one team running away with it when they lead.
Even after a port and lemon?
No, he didn’t.
Our individuals beat their individuals on the day. Management wise their setup was fine, they caused their own issues and messed up their own situations.
At 2-0 they have to go chasing and with 10 men it’s done.
Yeah our forwards are definitely sharing the load so to speak and kulusevski too, Sarr aswell has popped up with a few.
It's probably the smartest thing to do, although without a coach like Postecoglou, it might not have been possible.
100%!
We need better quality!
Danny Murphy excellent on MOTD.
Went 5-3-2 to counter our tactics when he's played 4-4-2 all season, made it really easy for us to pin them back.
I'm pretty sure we've not scored this many goals after 27 games in any Prem season...
That quite telling.
