I'm glad you mentioned Solanke. The positional impact the guy has on the pitch and his ability to move opponents into non-ideal spots on the pitch id unreal. I wouldn't care if he never scored a goal. He helps the other players get into position and scraps as good as anyone. I love the guy.
The whole team was immense. The four goals were brilliant but the fact City had so much possession in the final third and we didn't buckle was amazing and a blueprint for our future defensive efforts. We will still have bad days as we develop but anyone who isn't really excited about what we can achieve in the next few years is a secret Woolwich fan. C.O.Y.S!
That was incredible. Deki is the best i wouldn't take £150mil for him atm. They couldn't live with him him, Son, Madders and Solanke. Solanke's hold up/link up play was brilliant, too. Loved Davies smashing it, Radu seems to thrive from his experience. Really happy for Werner, too. his ball was amazing after legging it so hard for so long. Love it, love it, love it! Now do that against everyone regardless of level, guys.
Guilty as charged for having voiced disappointment or frustration that Davies is still involved in the playing staff. He is a damn good footballer. We all want the sexy players who are big, strong, quick, athletic etc. Sometimes you just need a guy who knows what he's doing and can keep his head. I could see him managing Spurs in the future, dude is meant to be smart AF.
I am wondering if the narrative on Davies will ever change. Pretty average player most say, but almost always steps up and performs well. So if he always plays excellently, shouldn't that mean he's actually bloody good? He can't possibly be at a level beyond his capabilities every bloody time he plays, so his actual level is very high, he's not playing a blinder every week. Doesn't mean he'll ever deserve a statue, but whatever the level below that is, I'll sign the petition. He's an all time defensive favorite of mine. I've seen him have a handful of bad games in years. Absolutely love him.
The narrative around players is very difficult to change... repeatedly putting in solid performances won't change it for Davies...he's going to have to score a last minute cup final winner for spurs fans to give him the credit he deserves 😂 I hope he does!
Ben Davies is woefully underrated. You don’t get rated by Poch, Mourinho, Conte and Ange if you’re not an absolute professional AND quality footballer.
So pleased for the team, perfect birthday present for Madders. Loved it at the end with Timo’s cross for Brennans goal but did you catch Djed Spence’s run alongside Timo, he went like a rocket 💥⚡️
Hi Ali, Sarr’s also becoming one of my fav too the way he glides across the field looks effortless & Solanke is another fav who’s contributing in so many ways besides scoring. Davies is the type of player every team needs, no fuss, no nonsense, no frills player the Manager & his teammates know will play his role & get the job done, he adds so much experience on & off the field too which is invaluable for the youngsters in particular who I’m sure he’s mentoring. The Leadership is looking so strong on every line now - Vicario, Davies, Kulu, Madders, Son & Solanke up forward are leading from the front which in turn gives the youngsters coming thru great confidence. I said it earlier in year we are playing as good as any team & the data proves that even before the Man City game but some fans sadly look at the results only & not how Ange is changing the culture, integrating youth, aligning Academy with Senior squad, developing players for sustained success yet some toxic fans still can’t see any of these improvements, trust me Ange will win 🏆 this season & the City game was just the start to launch their relentless supremacy!
I am an aussie, my grandfather was English. he used to tell me, " always kick a man when he is down or he might get up and do you." Kulu sets up Madders and he delivers a Joe Frazier left hook and the champ is rocked. Then madders feeds sonny feeds madders and it is a right cross and the champs knees buckle and he is looking for the bell. End of round and a chance to sit down. 2nd round, Dom sets up Pedro, big hit to the jaw and, it is a knockdown. The champ is on his back, the ref counts 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 then Timo sets up Brennan and he kicks the champ in the head while he is still on the canvas and he aint getting up. ring the bell
Hi Ali. The pinnacle of the modern Spurs was that night at Wembley when we destroyed Madrid 3-1. The worlds cameras saw the Poch side come of age. Everything we loved about that team was on display, the arrogance of youth, hunger and a team who knew their time had come. Any Ange team will need to build towards those heights. Admittedly a trophy would top that.
Funny that Ange reverted back to midfield and wingers 1.0 which have him his 10 game unbeaten run last year. You can see how much they have all developed since then. They looked so, so much more a complete package after 15 months of Angeball.
I agree with you about Ben Davies ! Personally I’d sign him and Sonny up to play at least a year or 2 and then make them coaches for our youth teams. I think that would be very astute business. I think they’re fantastic ambassadors for our club. In fact I’m gonna have a cheeky tenner on Davies becoming a spurs manager in future
Completely agree with you about Ben Davies. I hope he sticks around. I used to be a hater and was always told by my Liverpool-supporter friend that he was good. In recent seasons I've realised I was wrong and have jumped aboard the Davies bandwagon. He's very good and an excellent Spurs man.
A full 90 min solid performance. No one had a bad game.Went on a stadium tour this week for my birthday and thought of you when we saw where the press sit and the media room. What a week!🤍
Hey Ali! its Sean here from Brisbane Australia or once was known as Ange Town when he coached the Brisbane Roar back in the day to the promised land! So, as an Australian Spurs fan if you were to ask me what and how "Ange Ball' came about and why its such a unique style of playing in the Premier league (and the Scottish league before that) and has taken time (a season and a half on average) to be adapted into the players psyche physically, mentally and philosophically is totally down to Ange himself. Ange was born in Greece and raised in Melbourne. A city that was and is a very demanding tough city to live. Especially if you play sport. No tougher City anywhere else in the world comes close I don't think. The biggest football code in Melbourne is Australian rules Football. Followed by Soccer that was played by European immigrants & 10 pound 'Poms'!! Which obviously Ange grew up in, and bonded with his hard working often absent father over their shared love of football. I think (and I've never heard anyone else say this not even Ange) That he was heavily influenced by the local Australian rules football He is a huge Carlton Football club fan. It is a very fast very physical always attacking game that requires the players to think on their feet and adapt. The idea is to get the ball to your players always running, going forward attacking and kick goals. Then drop to a defense on the rebound to aggressively get the ball back and attack once again. This requires a level of fitness that is superhuman as the game goes for 100 mins plus stoppage time over 4 quarters in huge arena's such as the Melbourne Cricket Ground. I think what Ange Has done is taken the strengths of Australian Rules football and adapted those things to Football. Australian Rules plays the ball in the air whereas Ange plays the ball down on the pitch (Puskas Philosophy) That's what (I think) Makes Ange’s game and outlook far different to all the other Managers in the EPL. This last game against City it all pretty much came together. It was there for all to see. Against the best side in Premier league history. Ofcourse now we all wait and see how the squad progresses going forward with the self-belief that this style of playing is a winning style and is sustainable long term. I've included the Highlights to prosecute my case from This year’s Australian Rules Football Grand Final Sydney vs Brisbane. Sydney were the favorites to win the game!! Sounds familiar doesn’t it!! th-cam.com/video/d6tkMo2ToZk/w-d-xo.htmlsi=-2R-ci34BVJNF-0x
Great video Ali, always enjoy! Ceiling wise I think this team has the highest potential Whats missing is that 2016/17 consistency. That season I went into every game so confident.
Hi Alasdair. Hope you're well. This game could be the turning point for Ange, as a game in his time when he was at Brisbane Roar. That particular game, Ange, knew that the roar finally under what he required, and they then went on a 36-game unbeaten run. It changed the roars season. They went on to win the title . One hopes that this game is the game that Spurs turn it around.
@@dennismartin2407 I remember that run, Ange literally turned a struggling bottom of the ladder team into a dynamic, powerhouse of football team, transforming Aussie football in the process, one gets the feeling this game was a statement game to launch 🚀 their consistency in performance of the real Angeball- relentless pressure, relentless pressing, relentless attacking until the opposition are emotionally & physically demoralised.
Ben Davies has to be our best pounds per game signing in terms of value; I rate him as one guy whom I will be sorry to see move on. Spurs man through and through and dependable!
What a performance. Travelled to the match with my city cousins and had to sit in the city end. It was really hard to keep quiet and see the spurs fans having such fun. However, it was hysterical listening to the city fans try to sing ‘w e are the champions of Europe’ when they were 0-4 down. Great credit to all the players, fans and manager. The Spurs fans are so much better than city.
Some say Spurs don’t play defense, but it seems all the best Angeball begins with the press. I was worried last year after Kane left, but now we have more of a multifaceted attack. Can’t stop Spurs when they are hunting their opponents! COYS
Hi Ali been a hige Bem Davis fan for a long time hes been a great servant to the club. And as a center back hes been elite the criticism of him comes from fans that just watch highlights.
Yeah, gets too much unwarranted flak. Just no need. He’s been top class, playing 2nd fiddle isn’t easy. Supporting from the sidelines & coming in playing at your best when needed. Perfect squad man.
Maddison and Deki will quite rightly get pluadits but Davies and the Dagon get special mentions. They were immense. Also Solanki is the striker we need for Ange ball and I hope all the Ange out will now shut up for good. We have a great coach and he needs to be supported by the fans.
First 10 minutes looked a bit ominous for us then we just clicked and started playing. Every player deserves credit for that performance and apart from Maddison getting two goals on his birthday, the standout player was Kulusevski who was instrumental in the win and for me he gave a MOTM performance. Vicario made some great saves and seemed more confident coming for crosses. Being without Romero and Van De Ven could have been a problem but Davies and Dragusin played very well together. It was a great day to be a Spurs fan. Nice to see some well deserved praise for Ben Davies!
Our season so far in the north west: Manchester 0 Tottenham 7. But hey, lads, it's only Manchester. Thanks for the excellent video as always Alasdair. When injuries strike badly every team needs a solid guy like Ben Davies to be there, never lets us down.
Thanks, Ali. Totally agree they need to build on this and stay competitive and consistent. We won’t win every game, but, we need to show the effort and teamwork they showed for 90 minutes. I loved how Ange showed he can tweak his tactics as they stayed more compact working together defending. I also noticed the FBs didn’t fly forward as much as they normally do. He’s been a coach for over 20yrs, so fans hopefully see he can adapt and tweak slightly while still playing attack minded football. Great game. May it continue next game. Thanks again, Ali. COYS!
Been a while since watching one of your vids but I’m definitely going to watch this one 😂👍 Cracking performance, everyone played their part , we just need to find some consistency going forward COYS 🔵⚪️⚽️👊
In the build up to the game a lot was made about how Davies would deal with the challenge of city’s forward line, he’s still waiting for it to turn up🤣
Thanks for a fabulous broadcast, Alasdair. What a brilliant match! I’m a Ben Davies fan and hope his contract is renewed. Love when they play like a cohesive team.❤
Solanke's build, abilities, and actions are similar to Fernando Llorente's. He can control high balls, protect them with his body, and distribute to midfielders or forwards. Wonderful players both. As to Ben Davies it would only be appropriate and decent by the club to reward him with a three year contract extension, as should be done with Son. These are loyal players unlike some who had left during the past fifteen years.
Incredible performance Ali. I knew we had that in us, but against City!? Surely this must be a turning point. This is the level we need to aim for. SO good. COYS!
Ange said he would need at least 4 windows to get anywhere near to the level he wants.After 3 the green shoots are starting to show.Patience is still needed as our youngsters absorb the teachings ofAnge.
Ben Davies was indeed the unsung hero. He was exceptional but no-one will say so.If we ever get rid of him we will make a big mistake. It's not a bad thing to have a Mr. Reliable in the team, someone who is always sensible and calm.
What a fantastic performance by our beloved Tottenham. But the players must keep grounded. Now go and put the same level of effort into the next two games this week, starting Thursday.
I think Ange in maybe two-three years time will get a better result than Poch did in 2016/17. He is a proven winner elsewhere, and I believe it is only a matter of time before he redefines Spurs football as nothing but Champagne football.
Thanks, Alasdair for the video. A great performance at the Etihad, one that makes you realise why supporting Spurs really is worth it. Some terrific performances throughout the team. Madders and Deki were awesome up front and at the back Dragusin and Davies were solid as rocks. Ben Davies in particular always seemed to be in the right place at the right time and did not go walkabout like Romero is prone to do. I feel the pair have earned the right to start against Fulham next time out in the PL. Spurs simply have to keep Davies around for as long as possible and maybe eventually find him a coaching role at the club.
Yessssssss Ali, now this is a video I have been looking forward to. What a result, thank as always for the consistency and Ange has to be given a chance. 100% want stability at Tottenham. COYS
Love the film analogies 😂, putting your context on a lot of Ange’s answers from press conferences is really interesting, Alisdair you really becoming the “Zeus” of Spurs podcasts keep up the great work sport 😉
Wonderful result & a perfect way to respond to the L against Ipswich, however we’ve been here before we’ve slapped Everton, Villa & Wet spam for 4 then go on to show no consistency….. PRAYING this is the start of a great run of form🤞, but I’m not going to get overly giddy.
Enjoyed the young chap getting in De Bruyne's face too and showing some fire. Sometimes I think Spurs haven't got enough nasty in them and I was glad to see him standing up for himself.
@pauljohnware Yep and do you recall when Kudus of West ham decided to hospitalise the whole first team? Sarr gave him some back when he flattened Mickey VDV. We need a few more warriors.
8 hr roundtrip? You are kidding Ali. 1030 at Lee Valley. Got back after midnight on the subsidised bus. Dropped Alex off on my way home which I reached after 1 am. Worth every minute. Ange aced Pep. Team played superbly. COYS
The moment we've all been waiting for! Love the thumbnail about as much as I loved the performance yesterday. Watching this is the perfect way to start the day across the pond!
A perfect night really. I won't forget that game even though I wasn't at the stadium. Every player was top, which is really rare. I was of course worried before the game as Radu and Ben panicked away at Galatasaray where we could have conceded 10 goals, really... But they were magnificent on Saturday night. We, Spurs fans, have been suffering a lot for years and years, but on Saturday we were rewarded for our patience and loyalty. That was such an enjoyable evening. I jumped and I jumped in front of the tv 😂. Thank you Tottenham. 💙 And now I'm gonna watch this magnificent game again on Spursplay !
What a match. Always felt Spurs could beat City. It was the perfect game for Spurs. Ange going back to his first team line up worked. Sarr and Bissouma really changed things. Maddison being a leader too. Players made chooses of the pitch. Though Radu and Davis were really good. Radu making that pass for the first goal showed players can play long balls if they feel it. Both FBs for Spurs stayed a little deeper , Maddison kept saying to Destiny to get back behind him , this is the system, Perro and Destiny are picking when to go forward , Next game against Fulham is big for Spurs. Ange will probably start the same line up. Ange bar is set very high and Ange is now seeing what Player can match it, what players want to be leaders on the pitch and play with no fear.
Absolutely bossed that game. I had low expectations, and I said to my son I just want us to try and match City in effort and commitment and not be embarrassed!! 12 mins in Maddison scores! Then it gets better and better. Hopefully, that's the torch paper lit for the season?!
Finally a quality performance where we kept our shape and defended well. Our goals were exceptional. I could see a plan B within our Plan A today because we looked both solid and fluid. Raghusin and Davis were outstanding at the back . Deki, Son, Solanke and Maddison gave them so many problems. Please THFC don't ruin this great win with a poor performance next week against Fulham. COYS
I must admit with injuries and after Bissouma yellow card at 1 minute and Halland miss at 2 minutes I feared a disaster. Yet after 10 minutes wow wow! I love watching Spurs when they play like this. Ben Davies is so underated. I think we have to trust the Ange system
Fantastic performance! Shoutout to Dragusin and Davies who were both phenomenal. Need to bring some consistency now in the league and follow it up, starting with Fulham. COYS ⚪️
Some fans were dreading the game based on Radu and Davies playing. Personally felt it was a good paring Radu playing in his natural position and Davies is experience and a leader, Also Bissouma really help the back out.
Hopefully the penny has finally dropped for this Spurs squad , that they need to should show the same intensity and effort in every game , that they did against City , and consistency will surely follow .
I'm glad you mentioned Solanke. The positional impact the guy has on the pitch and his ability to move opponents into non-ideal spots on the pitch id unreal. I wouldn't care if he never scored a goal. He helps the other players get into position and scraps as good as anyone. I love the guy.

The win at the Etihad was the perfect showcase of Angeball. With him at the helm anything is possible.

Kulusevski has gone from a promising winger to a Dembele level all round midfielder. Underrated by the wider football world.
He has the shooting boots and delivery into the area that the Moose never had too. Absolute monster.
Ange’s Spurs are the Best entertainment in the EPL. Box office football. 🎉💪👏

He’s only ever been pace away from being a top defender. He’s intelligent, determined and hardworking.

Kulusevski is definitely our future captain after Sonny/Madders. I'm hoping he stays with us and, one day, wears the captain armband in a few years.
Ben Davies - Mr Reliable & club legend!
Great video Ali, always enjoy!
Ceiling wise I think this team has the highest potential
Whats missing is that 2016/17 consistency. That season I went into every game so confident.
Totally enjoyed my weekend thanks to this brilliant display. Still buzzing from it!

Much as I love Poch.
In the build up to the game a lot was made about how Davies would deal with the challenge of city’s forward line, he’s still waiting for it to turn up🤣
Im delighted for ange,he deserves credit,that may silence a few people for maybe a week
Thanks for a fabulous broadcast, Alasdair. What a brilliant match! I’m a Ben Davies fan and hope his contract is renewed. Love when they play like a cohesive team.❤
I can't big-up Ben Davies enough. He was absolutely immense and fully deserved a perfect 10 for his performance #ModelPro
Solanke's build, abilities, and actions are similar to Fernando Llorente's. He can control high balls, protect them with his body, and distribute to midfielders or forwards. Wonderful players both.
As to Ben Davies it would only be appropriate and decent by the club to reward him with a three year contract extension, as should be done with Son. These are loyal players unlike some who had left during the past fifteen years.
Incredible performance Ali. I knew we had that in us, but against City!? Surely this must be a turning point. This is the level we need to aim for. SO good. COYS!
Wow!
I agree with you Ali, playing like that regardless of the opposition will undoubtedly get us that trophy
But but Ange can’t coach, he’s one dimensional, he has no tactics, he has no plan b… but but he’s never done it with a big club… but but….
Ange said he would need at least 4 windows to get anywhere near to the level he wants.After 3 the green shoots are starting to show.Patience is still needed as our youngsters absorb the teachings ofAnge.
This was reminiscent of the New Year's Day when we destroyed Chelsea. The challenge now is to repeat it on a consistent basis.
Ben Davies was indeed the unsung hero. He was exceptional but no-one will say so.If we ever get rid of him we will make a big mistake. It's not a bad thing to have a Mr. Reliable in the team, someone who is always sensible and calm.
been waiting for your video hehe wanted to hear your happiness 😊
PM Sarr, is a beast his gallop has a Patrick Vieira elegance about it
What a fantastic performance by our beloved Tottenham. But the players must keep grounded. Now go and put the same level of effort into the next two games this week, starting Thursday.
Great video with superb insights as always Ali. Thank you! . And "Daft Cards for Silly Things" should be the must-have game for Christmas.
I think Ange in maybe two-three years time will get a better result than Poch did in 2016/17. He is a proven winner elsewhere, and I believe it is only a matter of time before he redefines Spurs football as nothing but Champagne football.
Thanks, Alasdair for the video. A great performance at the Etihad, one that makes you realise why supporting Spurs really is worth it. Some terrific performances throughout the team. Madders and Deki were awesome up front and at the back Dragusin and Davies were solid as rocks. Ben Davies in particular always seemed to be in the right place at the right time and did not go walkabout like Romero is prone to do. I feel the pair have earned the right to start against Fulham next time out in the PL. Spurs simply have to keep Davies around for as long as possible and maybe eventually find him a coaching role at the club.
Sounds like Davies is emulating Bobby Moore, who was not very quick but rarely needed to be as he was always in the right place at the right time ;o)
At last Ali is smiling 😂
Most Spurs fans are sick of the anti Ange moaners...dragging club down...we in a great place & will get better
What a performance ! nice to see a happy Ali Gold and no sighs !
Yessssssss Ali, now this is a video I have been looking forward to. What a result, thank as always for the consistency and Ange has to be given a chance. 100% want stability at Tottenham. COYS
Love the film analogies 😂, putting your context on a lot of Ange’s answers from press conferences is really interesting, Alisdair you really becoming the “Zeus” of Spurs podcasts keep up the great work sport 😉
I’m gonna watch this video before I go to bed. It’s so therapeutic I can’t explain it 😭
Ange just dished out a daring and playful expression of the Tottenham brand all over City. Pep didn't know what hit him.
Ben is a fantastic player and so underrated!!!
Amazing result and a great performance - it makes such a difference to my week when we perform well 😅
Only spurs could lose to Ipswich then thrash Man City, only Spurs 😅
Well well well, where are the anti Ange moaners now....great team performance!! COYS
100% mate !! They really piss me off !! It’s called football ! And it’s a rollercoaster
Personal matters ,
Thanks Ali ! Quality as usual !
I love that funny voice “ remember when we beat city 4-0 away”
Hahahahahah
Wonderful result & a perfect way to respond to the L against Ipswich, however we’ve been here before we’ve slapped Everton, Villa & Wet spam for 4 then go on to show no consistency….. PRAYING this is the start of a great run of form🤞, but I’m not going to get overly giddy.
Sarr deserves credit he was every blood where ridiculous work rate.
Enjoyed the young chap getting in De Bruyne's face too and showing some fire. Sometimes I think Spurs haven't got enough nasty in them and I was glad to see him standing up for himself.
@pauljohnware
Yep and do you recall when Kudus of West ham decided to hospitalise the whole first team? Sarr gave him some back when he flattened Mickey VDV. We need a few more warriors.
@@patricky101 oh yeah true, he did take the second of Kudus's tantrum slaps. In the thick of it again.
8 hr roundtrip? You are kidding Ali. 1030 at Lee Valley. Got back after midnight on the subsidised bus. Dropped Alex off on my way home which I reached after 1 am. Worth every minute. Ange aced Pep. Team played superbly. COYS
The moment we've all been waiting for! Love the thumbnail about as much as I loved the performance yesterday. Watching this is the perfect way to start the day across the pond!
A perfect night really. I won't forget that game even though I wasn't at the stadium. Every player was top, which is really rare.
I was of course worried before the game as Radu and Ben panicked away at Galatasaray where we could have conceded 10 goals, really...
But they were magnificent on Saturday night.
We, Spurs fans, have been suffering a lot for years and years, but on Saturday we were rewarded for our patience and loyalty. That was such an enjoyable evening. I jumped and I jumped in front of the tv 😂.
Thank you Tottenham. 💙
And now I'm gonna watch this magnificent game again on Spursplay !
The brightest blues i've seen for some time. Lovely stuff, Alasdair!
An absolute tactical masterclass by Ange, and prove to those doubters that he isn't a tactical one-trick pony
Cheers Ali. Always good to see happy spurs fans
Porro putting KDB on skates at the final whistle was the perfect ending! 😅🤣
I've been waiting for this 😂😂. Now I can take my time and listen 😂
Thanks Goldilocks 🤗
Keep Ben Davies.
"It's the history of the Tottenham". Ruin the current champion twice in a few weeks, then gift out Ws to struggling teams like the good samaritan.
What a match. Always felt Spurs could beat City. It was the perfect game for Spurs. Ange going back to his first team line up worked. Sarr and Bissouma really changed things. Maddison being a leader too. Players made chooses of the pitch. Though Radu and Davis were really good. Radu making that pass for the first goal showed players can play long balls if they feel it. Both FBs for Spurs stayed a little deeper , Maddison kept saying to Destiny to get back behind him , this is the system, Perro and Destiny are picking when to go forward ,
Next game against Fulham is big for Spurs. Ange will probably start the same line up. Ange bar is set very high and Ange is now seeing what Player can match it, what players want to be leaders on the pitch and play with no fear.
Absolutely bossed that game. I had low expectations, and I said to my son I just want us to try and match City in effort and commitment and not be embarrassed!! 12 mins in Maddison scores! Then it gets better and better. Hopefully, that's the torch paper lit for the season?!
Finally, a newsworthy Spurs performance, not gonna lie, I bought Maddison’s shirt last night as an early Christmas pressie, happy bday bruva ❤ coys!
Finally a quality performance where we kept our shape and defended well. Our goals were exceptional. I could see a plan B within our Plan A today because we looked both solid and fluid. Raghusin and Davis were outstanding at the back . Deki, Son, Solanke and Maddison gave them so many problems. Please THFC don't ruin this great win with a poor performance next week against Fulham. COYS
I must admit with injuries and after Bissouma yellow card at 1 minute and Halland miss at 2 minutes I feared a disaster. Yet after 10 minutes wow wow! I love watching Spurs when they play like this. Ben Davies is so underated. I think we have to trust the Ange system
Perfect all round performance. Defence were fantastic.
Fantastic performance! Shoutout to Dragusin and Davies who were both phenomenal.
Need to bring some consistency now in the league and follow it up, starting with Fulham. COYS ⚪️
Some fans were dreading the game based on Radu and Davies playing. Personally felt it was a good paring Radu playing in his natural position and Davies is experience and a leader, Also Bissouma really help the back out.
Tottenham are an enigma.
This Tottenham side is so confusing.
First time this season we went long on a goal kick.. 💪
Fantastic yesterday, no excuses going forward after producing a performance like that 😊
Hopefully the penny has finally dropped for this Spurs squad , that they need to should show the same intensity and effort in every game , that they did against City , and consistency will surely follow .
Sickening that we should easily be at least second in the table currently
The only thing that is sick is you and the rest of the big mouth fanbase that think they fkn know it all
It’s not sickening. It would be undeserved.
I've always had confidence that this is a quality team with a quality manager. Just need consistency, which I feel will come in time.
