If you try that experiment, you play Porro as RW; not Spence. Ange already tried it the other way round and it sucked......... It completely nullified Porro (who's strength is his delivery from out wide).

It's bllx...... It's been going on for decades up and down the country but for some reason we do it and it's a form of anti-football satanism.
I try. But, even less past you mate.
Shit, so it wasn't sarcasm? You were serious.
I guess we have to get Robbie to start singing I'm Loving 'AngeCont Ball Instead', again. Nowdays (Incase you also one of the school teacher types. It is an intentional slang word used where I come from), he'll have to add a few word to his lyrics (Please sing for effect)
"And through it all,
He started copying Conté;
Mourinho and Old Nuno;
Just to win a Game.
And through it all,
Mate, he learnt to counter;
You don't need 11 Strikers,
It helps to have defense;
We hoof the ball,
At Every sign of trouble;
No longer do we dribble,
We clear our lines instead
I Love AngeCont Ball Instead....
(Repeat as necessary, until you understand.)
Bentancur & Bissouma both played well but we don’t see it often enough
So many frustrating things about us but conceding a goal even when we have a decent performance is near top of the list .The goal for them gives them a foothold so hopefully we snuff it out ,could be a bit nervy something obviously was hoping to avoid .
Or, bear with me a second, they scored a few.
I wanted a 3+ goal lead. Their home record is excellent in Europe. They put 6 past Roma under Mourinhho for his biggest career defeat.
And he actually values defence.
I don’t think anyone’s wild have any angst if we were in the top 3
Yeah we definitely need a goal or two to get through
I feel good today, it was a proper game, I just wish Ange had learnt to play more pragmatic when needed during this season as there is no doubt we can score goals.
Great performance and if anything , conceding the late goal might just sharpen us up for the away leg.
Hard to pick a man of the match, all on it.
Would love to see some of that aggressive nature from the likes of Johnson last night being displayed in our league matches as well!

It feels like letting them in the door for sure. I know they’ve a great record at home but I didn’t think they were a good side at all last night. Hopefully the players aren’t deflated by it as it felt like a kick in the balls and lots on the wall back to the station sounded frustrated by it. Typical Spurs though, we refuse to do it the easy way.
Our subs killed us. Richy should have been playing over the hour mark at least. Tel is hopeless. And for all the talk of Kulu should have been the captain, Madders still showed more. It's scary that whenever Madders was off, the opponents can just get back on us so easily.
I’d love to live in your world you fruit loop.
Do you get free drugs??
Are you actually a spurs fan? 3-1 win and this is the shite you come out with.
give it a fucking break
We got into so many good positions out wide and inside the box but the final ball was so poor . 4-0 wouldn’t have flattered us but I’m not that comfortable with a 2 goal lead and it’s essential that Solanke starts next week cos we’re going to need an out ball .
