Tottenham Hotspur v Aston Villa (A) (16/02/20) (2pm)

[cretinousgoat]

go on then - enlighten me

Spurs 5 Burnley 0

We limited their chances to just 3 on target, had 66% possession, a 61.5% tackle success rate, dominated play, and created chances at will (25 shots with 9 on target)

You're welcome.

I think I can now see why it tends to go so quickly wrong for Mourinho teams - so easy for the wins like yesterday to turn into defeats.

As soon as the players stop trying for him there isn't much left.

Have you witnessed one game since he took over where you have said to yourself that his teams look any more organised or solid than Poch's, because I haven't.
At times the teams look like strangers and some of them are past their play by date IMHO.
The playing staff are the issue, rather than the management of them.

Silk purse and sows ears

We've just won a thrilling game of football where both sides created tons of chances and we got over the line in the last minute.
It was a throwback game to another time, if you can't take joy from that why bother?

As others have said our form is very good, we are improving, We have some real promising new players who are bedding in well.

I just don't understand the negativity. Yes we aren't perfect, Yes perhaps 1-2 are past there sell by date. But try looking at the positives or you just come across as somebody with an agenda.

If I was that negative after a win I'd take up something else with my spare time and save myself the stress

 

[sammyspurs]

Welcome to the famous home of Spurs where improving isn’t improvement because we liked the last guy better.

And don’t forget kids, 5th is better than 4th if you get more points!

COYS!!!

I just watched MOTD2, he just runs off, does some religious thing,

It is a religious symbol in Christianity.

I'm not sure if it was catholic or what not so didn't want to specify in case I got it wrong

Wasnt always pretty,but we got the job done ...In the end!
Funny thing is i enjoyed the game yesterday and never felt like we would lose.Even when we went 1 down.
I don't blame Toby for that goal,that's on the skipper i'm afraid.
Good to have Ben Davies back,thought he had a solid game. A defender that can defend.Who'd of thunk it.

 

[Brian Fantana]

It’s nice to see another away win after that awful stretch of being terrible on the road.

I missed the first 20 minutes but thought we were OK. At least we were actually creating chances. Son has been pretty poor since his MaraSona goal, but at least he’s still finding ways to score. Few things in football more satisfying than winning right at the death.

I don't think this should be understated. We were turd away from home for nearly a year. It is going to take a while to get confidence back and relearn how to win away from home.

 

[Brian Fantana]

You have got to feel sorry for the defender, let's hope he won't be the reason if villa get relegated by 1 point.

He hadn't played for 3 months. Pretty negligent management by them to not give him any game time during that period, especially as there has been loads of games. No wonder he came into their side and thankfully for us, had a stinker.

You're pitching that at the wrong person, I took great joy and pleasure in the win.
The only agenda I have is wanting to see a competitive and cohesive team playing with a structure and going back to looking like we can beat anyone.
The fact is that at the moment we play like a misfiring engine and not the smooth Rolls Royce that we were 2 seasons back.
That said, if we win all our remaining games 4-3, 3-2 or 2-1 I'm not going to moan, but it would be better to see some clean sheets and a tighter defence.
Surely you can see that?

Granted, but be fair, they could have played you and me in central defence that day

Ha
Haha
Haha Haha
Bwahahahahaha

You live for conflict you dullard.
You are as valuable to this board as arcspace

I wouldn't mind if you actually understood anything about football, but you air your ignorance with every post. Not that I bother reading your turgid witterings

But you do Cooper you do

Now go and play with your walkie talkies in the usual place

Five miles behind the front line while the ‘canon fodder’ do the work

Gutless coward sneaking round on here having the odd rant like this one before disappearing again

In context I’ve got more respect for Clash

 

[Bazali]

Stop disagree spamming then. And why are you trying to ‘trigger’ me? I made a perfectly reasonable post about Sonny’s ruthless finish and you stuck your massive thick head in. How is that me engaging with you? I had you on ignore, but the disagrees still get through as you know - that’s why you do it.

As for ‘cider boy’ I’ll style you as the ‘six dollar man’. We have the technology, but we ain’t spending any money on fixing up this loser with his self-inflicted, alcohol induced frailties.

$6 man. I like that. And please stop quoting - word for word - my own posts back at me. Have a little originality six buck man.

And finally, in the real world when two adults dislike each other, they tend to avoid each other. Now why don’t we? Stick me on ignore like you’ve promised to do at least 50 times before and we’ll be fine. Cheers.

Six million dollar man surely?

Still you got a like from Pie man so there’s nice

But fair enough I’ll disengage so we’ll see if you can manage the same

Toodles

We kept a clean sheet in the game before against City.

I don't think we are playing like a misfiring engine, we are just playing a different style to the endless possession bore the opposition to death style that Poch employed.

I agree we could do with tightening up our defence, but we've had injuries and hardly been able to play a settled team.
The biggest reason our defence is struggling imo is not the defence itself but the lack of a quality DM in front of it.
Tanganga excited me, shades of Ledley, and I'm talking pace, power and composure not skin colour.

I'm seeing a game plan now, we are all about hurting teams with pace and winning the ball high up the pitch. We aren't about playing out of the back and keeping the ball.

I'm confident we can make top 4 now, Chelsea and Leicester are both struggling our form is good in comparison.

Firstly I wasn't "PISSED OFF" about the equaliser so not sure what you mean by "you people"
Secondly If I fuck up at work and then rectify it I don't stand there with my hand held out for a high five.

Toby scored a beaut, his first in what 2.5/3 years?, it's literally a day or two after he became a dad again so surely there's a huge desire to celebrate that moment and there was 75 minutes or so left of the match.

Do you honestly really want the game to lose all of its emotions? Behave yourself son

 

[Park Lane Mark Twain]

Not sure how much moaning about yesterday’s win is helpful to anyone.

Loads of chances, exciting game, won in the best way possible I think. Bang, no chance to reply. We went the best part of a year without an away win and yet this one is not good enough ? Wow.

Just stop and think back to Brighton away and how terrible that was and then see if you can conclude there has been no progress.

It’s not perfect, but 100% we lose that game yesterday pre Jose.

More importantly, we seem to have found a way to score goals without Kane playing for us. A couple of goals where we have scored 3 and multiple 2 goal games now. Impressive return when you lose your lynchpin.

Son... Alright Ray Winston calm down

Becoming a real fan of these videos, from getting an insight into our game management to watching the drama surrounding the VAR decision, especially the bench when they see the VAR video...and all hell breaking loose at the winner...
