Yeah I think losing a player before half time means you obviously need to change expectations. A win is all that matters in that situation. Only just watched the highlights & we should have been 3 up but then we’re fortunate they didn’t have the quality to take a few of their chances. We stayed strong & resolute.
Top of the league for a little while after the scum up the road beat the northern rich kids
They were fortunate that we weren’t 4-0 up. If we had scored in that first ten mins it would have been a battering. We never and Biss getting sent off changes everything in the way the game was going to go but we still found a way to win.
We are showing signs of what successful teams do and it’s such a great time to support Tottenham.
Yeah I only saw the highlights & should have been at least 5 or 6 goals. Although I think that’s where we obviously miss kane. We miss a lot of chances & apart from son, not many clinical players.
Yeah agree just sometimes when we need to put the foot on the gas wish we just speed up the play.
Luton is a hobby.
You’re a fucking waste of space fella. I don’t consider you to be a spurs supporter.
Wind your neck in.

You can go fuck yourself politely.
I was amazed by our start! No mercy absolutely flew at them, could have had 2 on another day and made the game more comfortable. However the manor of victory was very good and is better for our players as they have faced more adversity and managed to deal with it. It didn't look like we had one player less most of the time and thats a great sign. There is something different about this team, seems to be a sense of professionalism here, a graft and unity that they are all on the same page trying their best.
Of course Bissouma was disappointing, he is a boss in there normally but very poor decisions there, really rash tackle I don't think was needed and no one wants to see diving. Still though we stepped up and made sure it didn't cost us. That's what a team does, no crying, get on with it.

I rate this as the most telling of all our results so far tbh.
Richie is getting chances, but if it carries on like this, we have to look elsewhere. I like Richie as a person and think he's a much better player than we've seen so far, but we can only wait so long.
Wanna think of a way you can get 3 disagrees from the same post!
It's probably already been pointed out, be it wasn't a straight red and, as such, can't be rescinded. Usual referee bureaucracy where any semblance of sense is lost because "that's what the rules say"
Imagine if real life never changed rules that were unfit for the modern world.
That said, both his yellows were right and he only has himself to blame.
Several positives
the win obv
we also carved them apart and could have scored 4 by 10 mins, 6 by HT.
OK not great that we only got one, but it's way better than some of the 1-0's we've had over relegation candidates. I'm thinking games like Watford away, a 1-0 in the last minute. Awful game and even with Kane we had no where near the amount of good chances.
Very encouraging, most of the PL teams will be set up to defend against us

We now how a small squad of players who all seem to be "onside" with how to play as a team.
We also have a decent proportion of them that have a good first touch and can hold a ball under pressure. These were things that were driving me absolutely fucking bananas for years. We were so bad I genuinely feel we were not practicing that sort of thing in training.
We seem to want to win the ball back too, definitely something we haven't been doing.
I recall a game against Chelsea at home under Mourinho, possibly when Lampard was in charge of them. They passed and passed and passed and not one of our players tried to win the ball back. I lost my shit, stood up in block 530 and yelled "somebody fucking tackle them"
Nobody fucking tackled them
Think we lost 2-0 at home.
I genuinely can't see this happening again.

And a replayFirst time I’ve seen that
Looks blatant to me.that effects the outcome
Plus to be full victim …It’s a pen and a sending off
May as well give him a fair crack this season & then sell him if he hasn’t stepped up. To me he seems to suit being the main man at a mid table team.
