Grinding out a win doesn't rely on the oppo being shit IMO. In my book it's being solid, not giving the oppo a sniff by locking it down. Admittedly, a fair few of those shots were lame but there were still a hatful of big opportunities for them.We weren't good, just clinical and ground out a win. It happens.
I don't think Mourinho will be pleased with the amount of shots we conceded (22!), even if two-thirds were very low quality/chance.
I don't disagree, but when you play 4 matches in 10 days I can understand it. Him not rotating more and using all five subs though is compounding the problem.Grinding out a win doesn't rely on the oppo being shit IMO.

The thing is, every game is "grinding it out" isn't?
Allan Saint-Maximin anyone??? He would be our greatest signing from Newcastle since.......Chris Waddle.The fee back then was £590,000,think we might have to pay a little more for this kid.
Great win, would love to finish sixth-fuck Wolves.
Me I'm looking forward to a nice trip to San Sebastián or Bilbao or Castellón (Villarreal) or Valencia. Or an easy one down to Getafe just outside Madrid
Three towns with wonderful beaches, five with fine food
Because you thought Seasengon was Roberto Carlos because you was right about SalahNot good but why do you always try to point score? Don't you get bored of it?
I saw Ginola track a runner once...I like him but come on... I paid to watch Ginola who we signed from the Toon and I can honestly say watching that man even take a corner was like poetry
He really doesn’t trust a lot of the squad, does he?I don't disagree, but when you play 4 matches in 10 days I can understand it. Him not rotating more and using all five subs though is compounding the problem.
I think he also had a good game against City whose midfield is a little more gifted than ours.All it takes it someone to make a few dribbles against the weakest midfield we've had in years and some of you are falling over yourselves about a player tbh.
Nice team, green shirts and white shorts which makes a change. Nearly made it to the 1st Division in the late 90s but fell away at the end. Languishing in the Regional 3rd (4th tier) now though unfortunately which really is a football wilderness.Shame Toledo dont have a decent side, loved my day out there, easy train from Madrid and a beautiful town!
How much are you expecting this realistic punt to be considering their fans all love him, he's on a long contract (5 years left) and they paid £20m-ish for him?I think he also had a good game against City whose midfield is a little more gifted than ours.
I think he's worth a punt - if we can get him
Believe we can leap frog 3 teams in 2 games? Well of course we can, we are Spurs! :townhmm:Meh. 3-1, cool as you like. With games coming in thick and fast it won’t all be pretty.
4 points behind 4th now with a game against Leicester to look forward to. Believe.
Brilliant way of seeing the silver lining, in amongst the murk and lack of vision.It wasn't the most stylish win, but I know I'm happier that we won, than if we had played really well and lost.

Cool name for a ground too, Salto del Caballo - "Horse Jump"
And who’s place would he take?How much are you expecting this realistic punt to be considering their fans all love him, he's on a long contract (5 years left) and they paid £20m-ish for him?
Not even a chance of this happening.
Oh moan yourself into a frenzy if you like.Believe we can leap frog 3 teams in 2 games? Well of course we can, we are Spurs! :townhmm:
