Re: Premier League 2023-24
Bloody Nora, what a first half! After 15 minutes I was wondering how many we'd score and then all hell broke loose! Romero, for some inexplicable reason, reverted to idiot mode and two of our key players had to be substituted because of injury. We still look good going forward, but TBH I'm keeping everything crossed for the second half.
This is the way
Re: Premier League 2023-24
Quite amazing first half of football. We were outstanding for the first 25. 69% possession and playing like prime Barcelona. Then Chelsea came back into it. Then the penalty, Romero won the ball clearly but went over the top of it... red card. Not malicious and no force upon hitting the Chelsea lad's shin (Romeros ankle buckled on it). But them's the rules.

Whatever happens, we're a different team now in all aspects. They're all putting a shift in now, not like before.dtaai-maai wrote: ↑Tue Nov 07, 2023 4:05 am Bloody Nora, what a first half!

Re: Premier League 2023-24
Not sure I've had a game like this where I'm cheering every single defensive tackle, or Vicario save, like a goal!
Surely can't hold on. It's too much.

Re: Premier League 2023-24
Lol, still got close. The Dier goal, that Sonny chance. But...wasn't to be, is one of those can't do much about. Silly tackle from udogie already on a yellow. The Romero one, meh, silly rulebook stuff.
We lost with 9 men, a slightly harsh red... take it in on the chin.

Re: Premier League 2023-24
I can't remember losing a game 4-1 and feeling prouder of the players . (Apart from 2 morons). And Vicario - what a keeper he's turning out to be; apologies for my initial doubts. Quite a game, and I don't think it will have any impact on how Spurs moive on from here.

Re: Premier League 2023-24
Vicario is proving to be an absolute steal! Highest save percentage in the prem.

Don't get me wrong, I'm absolutely gutted to lose, particularly against Poch's Chelsea... gutted. But like yourself, and the fans still roaring in the stadium when down and out, proud of them. This is a different team than we've had to suffer for a while. Today's result doesn't change that, just a little more discipline when tackling is required!

Never gonna be boring with Ange Ball anywho, christ. Good for the neutrals. 


Ange Postecoglou on playing with a high line down to nine men:
"It is just who we are mate, it is who we are and who we will be for as long as I am here. If we go down to five men we will have a go."

Bet we had you worried after that first 20 though. Spurs Chelsea never fails to disappoint (unless you're Tottenham, we don't see many points from Chelsea

Re: Premier League 2023-24
A game lasts 90 minutes, or 111 in yesterdays marathon. We were the better team after the first 20 minutes, and never lost our heads.

Talk is cheap
Re: Premier League 2023-24
Yup.

Ange's interviews are always something else. No bitching, no breakdowns, no babyness. Truly hope this chap stays with us for a while. Class. Grace. And a hell of an entertainer on the pitch.
