Thought Llorente came in and upset their rhythm, wasn't pretty (apart from him) but very effective. It's how the big teams sometimes manage to get over the line.
We're yet to hit our stride, I believe the new defence will take a little time to bed in but from what I have seen, in a few months they will be pretty awesome. If we can continue to dig out wins in the interim this is ok.

Oh you stupid man. Just fuck off Baz, go and waste someone else's time, I can't be arsed to deal with your retarded, twisted and infantile thought (?) processes.
The only thing I'm a victim of is being effectively stalked by someone who hasn't the humility or maturity to accept objective criticism of their posting style.

Fair enough the old goat is embarrassing himself enough without any help. I'm out
Llorente's brief performance was perfect, even got the balance between causing a scrap and not looking like it was his fault down to a T.
That's what an experienced player who's seen it all before brings to the squad. I thought he was bloody great. Didn't lose a duel & rattled them completely. Oh, & he's one sexy fella too.
only downside was shaving that glorious beard
This is second match it happens so it must be the new tactics. Sanchez stays and covers from behind and then Jan pushes forward as an addition CMF (the second goal). Interesting and adds depth to our attack
I thought this but then saw some people
saying that Jan was moved into midfield. I don't think that happened, did it?
Nope. He just drifts there now when we attack. Like Lahm
I don't think so, just that the 3322 formation allows the right and/or left centre back to push forward.
I have read some shit from those idiots regarding saturdays game but this one is my favourite and even by their clueless standards is unbelievable..

Only saw it on motd but it wasn't as bad as I had feared.
I think Spurs were lucky to win.
Arnie's powerful run on goal should have been a stonewall pen. They got away with that.
Us losing Antonio was very lucky for them.
For their first goal Carroll shouldn't have been in that part of the pitch (& I agree with many on here who said he shouldn't have been on the pitch anyway, replacing Antonio) where he had to make a panicked blind pass in field & Kouyate shouldn't have let it go by him thinking that it was for someone else. It wasn't hit THAT hard.
That's 2 bits of luck, not good play by Spurs. The goal was then easy. I agree that the offside law is an ass but if that's the law about 1st phase, 2nd phase, there's nothing you can do. Kane gained an unfair advantage by being in an offside position in the 1st phase. Simple as that.
Their second goal was Carroll getting mugged waiting for the ball to come down near the halfway line but the resulting shot at our goal was well saved by Hart & could have rebounded absolutely anywhere. But no, it has to go STRAIGHT to the unmarked Kane, who couldn't really miss an open goal. So I consider that a lucky rebound, a lucky goal.
Their third goal came from a free-kick hitting our post because (I hope) Hart had it covered. Where that rebounded to, one of their players, was again, sheer luck. He takes a wildly off target shot that by chance hits & rebounds off our left back? player. Where does it fly off to? Could have gone anywhere but no, it has to go in-field finding Eriksen perfectly just in front of our penalty area with a clear line at goal. This was not clever, inventive play by Spurs. All 3 goals I consider, were very lucky & might not have gone in on another day.
Our first goal was made by a good header from Fonte & L'pea doing what we bought him for & our second goal a fantastic cross by Arthur & an unbelievable header from Kouyate that no keeper would have saved.
However, I DON'T think Carroll deserved a pen late on. I just think he jumped too early.
Both Reid & Nobles late efforts were very disappointing. Hit the bloody target.
So, I don't think they outplayed us at all.
Yes, we had a little luck with them losing a player but he wasn't unlucky getting sent off. He looks a bit of a liability on that performance.
Of course watching it on motd is totally different to watching it at the ground or even on sky.
They have sunken to a new low it would appear.
Losing to Spurs is now as good as beating Spurs if you score
Really?
So I’m receiving ageist abuse by someone roughly the same age?
Thing is only one of us is serious but I do take Tottenham Sean’s point that this wasn’t the thread for it!p so apologies for that
I’m still buzzing after the result which flattered that shower greatly
