Whatever the argument about long balls or tactics - personally I'd rather see Tottenham put out a team of talented young men playing the sport I love, to a high degree of skill and entertainment - and actually look like they want to go out and beat the opposition because they are better footballers than them. Rather that, than an agricultural team of grafting, second tier, hoof monsters who rely on disciplined tactics of fear and the occasional Garyowen to create chances.
I think the teamsheet is the giveaway though.
Tottenham - 4-2-3-1
Leicester - 8-1-1
If that's what they want - then good for them. I'd rather we play like we do and lose, than put up with a season of watching the Farmyard football that Leicester serve up.
Tottenham embedded philosophy.
“It is better to fail aiming high than to succeed aiming low. And we of Spurs have set our sights very high, so high in fact, that even failure will have in it an echo of glory.”
"The public can’t be kidded. They know what they want to see, what is good and what is bad and what is just average."
“It’s no use just winning, we’ve got to win well.”
"The great fallacy is that the game is first and last about winning. It is nothing of the kind. The game is about glory, it is about doing things in style and with a flourish, about going out and beating the other lot, not waiting for them to die of boredom."
"Winning isn't everything, but wanting to win is."
Leicester embedded philosophy.
"Clear it!"
