Points from a losing position

[Kendall]

It's only a good stat if you're happy shipping goals in the first place.

We are the new Arsenal, getting late goals to win or draw games, coming back from behind to win, few years ago we would have gone to pieces but now we are developing Arsenal style mental strength. Good sign

I noted this trend back in october in the thread 'Coming from behind' http://www.spurscommunity.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=66079



Since I posted that we've also come from behind to win against Arsenal, Liverpool and Sunderland - so a total of six times this season. So 18 of those 20 points are losses to wins and only two are losses to draws (Everton and Newcastle).
So it seems that if we do come from behind we come really hard.

My favourite sentence on this forum ever.

I am loving our new found mental strenght, coming from behing and being able to see the last 5 mins of a game out. But this is not doing our goal difference much good, we are well below the other teams around us which could make or break our season come May if it is close

 

[mumbles]

How many is that now?

 

[elDiablo]

21?

Cobblers :lol:

The stat is the stat wether you're happy about shipping goals or not.

Stay off the Kangaroo juice :wink:

I dont understand how people see this as a positive. Clearly we are too open with Huddlestone and Modric in the middle and they get cut through way too easily. We have a team full of absolute quality so of course we have it in us to come back from behind but we cant keep relying on individual pieces of brilliance. We need to start controlling games, controlling possession, and stop playing the game like a game of basketball!

So it's a negative then?

Its a positive because it has conditioned us into believing we can come back from anything.

Its a negative because we shouldnt be the ones conceding first anyway.

We need to offer more protection to our back four from the middle of the park. Its that simple.

I wouldn't be too certain that Hudd & Mod have played together in the middle for the majority of the matches we're talking about.

Haven't lots of good teams come back from losing positions? Lots of Ferguson's teams have.

 

[NEVILLEB]

It's a mixed blessing

We go behind far too often
