Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

I don't get the criticism of the performance at all.

We were mostly composed and dealt with everything thrown at us. Sure the goal was scrappy but even before then I thought we controlled the game.

Also who cares... CHAMPIONS 😎
 
The Australian domestic league is decided after an end of season play off with a single Grand Final deciding the Champion. (Actually all the major football codes are decided that way-it's a cultural thing). Postecoglou has plenty of experience winning finals, so I knew he would have the players ready. Could they execute was the only question in my mind.

He got the team selection spot on.

You’ve probably seen more of Ange’s teams than most on here.
Are you surprised how pragmatic he’s become in this competition?

Do you think he would approach the CL in the sane way next season?
I wonder how he would upgrade the squad too.

I love this picture. So chuffed for Sonny.
 
I always wanted us to win this trophy. I remember fuming in Pochs first season when he rotated and we got limply knocked out by Fiorentina. The final ended up being Dnipro vs Sevilla, we really should have won it that year.

Was the exact opposite of this season though.

Ange has been able to rotate in the league. Pretty much thrown games there. But he’s rotated.

Are you saying you’d have preferred to play a weaker team in the League Cup final v Chelsea over a round of 32 game away to Fiorentina? Play the stronger team in Italy?

I’m not sure many would agree with that tbh.

Great point! I've scrubbed that league cup final from my memory so always forgot that it was sandwiched between the Fiorentina ties.
