Match Brentford (A) - 02Feb, 2pm - Live on Sky

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

That was bloody intense and a little bit uncomfortable, and not at all what I expected. So absolutely credit to the players and set up today. If it’s their fault we lose, the. It’s their credit when they win 👍

That 30 crosses into the box on 70 minutes stat is insane. Davies and Spence, and indeed Gray and Porro actually looked like a unit.

On to Man U. Need to win that too. Today massive bonus 3 points.
I never felt uncomfortable during that today and I don’t know why. For the first time this season it looked like we were in control without the ball. We needed that big time.

I was uneasy at the beginning of the game, but we took more control of it as the minutes passed. In the end the opponent had nothing to show for. Massive game for us, especially the defence
 
Or have the players understood the playing philosophy finally? 🤷‍♂️ Not being part of the dressing room and coaching team we will never know. It's purely speculation. There's a good interview with a former head of sport science for both us (under numerous managers) and then Ange at Celtic. Guys name is Anton McElhone. Worth a watch and dispels a lot of misconceptions.

In all honesty it doesn't.

When you piece it all together it just amounts to the notion that Ange needs the best squad in the league.


......it's not like today was a prime example of Ange-ball clicking.
 
The total mess of the transfer window aside been a really good week.

- got straight in the EL thus avoiding 2 extra games

- beat Brentford thus getting the relegation fears off our back

- kids involved

- Danso coming.
 
if anyone wondered what mason ball would look like, it was what we saw today. just play ordinary vanilla football and let our quality outlast the lesser clubs. should've done this shit months ago
 
So when we go all out attack it's shit and when we defend heroically it's shit.

Gotcha.

Me, I loved that.
Wow BM that misrepresentation I would have thought was beneath you...I'm beginning to see that it is not. When we've played Ange-ball we've been 16th...now he's gone against ALL and EVERYTHING he purported to be in order to scrape 3 points...credit to him, needs must and all.

But don't try and distill some virtuous nonsense from this...he was hired to bring attacking football here and he has failed miserably. Today we parked the bus in order to survive...awesome for today...let's not make it a habit...unless things get tight again...or unless he's miraculously lasts past this season.

There are two sides to the game and having the ability to do only 1 at a time is a sign of incompetence.
I obviously don't have your tactical perspective.
I would say you have a blinkered perspective...and though yours was meant as a sarcastic slight, it doesn't take any tactical perspective to realize we parked the bus and went against everything that Ange-ball is supposed to be. Thank god because that shit is shit and left us 16th...remember?
 
I just want to say I'm really glad we won a game of football in the league and may it continue (unlikely with Ange though).
 
Pundits don't know what they're talking about - shocker!

So happy we made them look like fools but we've known they're hardly impartial...especially on Sky.

Not worth letting it spoil a great result.

COYS
 
Had spurs in not one of my bet legs. Of course they won. Every time this year they've fucking cost me, and as soon as I'm out they drag me back in again.

Banned them for the fucking rest of the seasons.

The fans, club, and Ange should be soon celebrating the cup treble and an amazing league run.

With my money out of the picture there's nothing fucking surer!
