The portrait of Brendan Rogers that hangs on the wall of his house that he admires each time he walks past it is probably shedding oily tears right now, the vain fuckprick

Evans is clearly bumming Antony Taylor

For those moaning about the second half performance, you surely must realise that very few top teams keep trying to score once getting 3 goals in front. It’s time to shut up shop and not concede. Jose is teaching is to do that.

It’s not scrappy 1-0 wins that are a sign of a great teams. It’s the ability to score and then defend as a unit that is. Under MP all too often we concede a goal to let teams back in the game. Jose is making sure we don’t do that. Fair play to him

Var was partly meant for clear and obvious errors the only clear and obvious outcome with Var is that 90% of referees are not very good and their decision making leaves a lot to be desired .

Guys a massive bellend, but I thought those pictures were painted by disabled children or something similar?

Im used to us always being the bridesmaid but never the bride. Not anymore Jose.

 

[Thewobbler]

Im getting excited for next season now. Try and end the season with 4 wins on the bounce and then get some signings in.

Whatever he's doing, I need to learn to add to life skills. Have honestly never seen such incredible mercy for one player in a match in all my years of watching this game.

 

[Mighty Spurs]

Great improvement from recent performances. Defense much improved. Three vital points and another clean sheet. COYS!!!!

Amazing to think where we would be if fine margins went in our favour like the United Pen / Moura Handball / Bournemouth Penalty

 

[Geez]

Great performance only downside is Jan not getting on the pitch for what could be his last home game.

 

[nferno]

The lowest home percentage for us since records began ?

Leicester can have as many shots as they want when they hardly ever hit the target. Restricting them to almost exclusively 25 yard pot shots when we're three goals up is the sign of a well organised team.

Yeah, agreed. They had 5 shots at the target..?

 

[ero1x]

Shocking football.

I disagree, we won 3-0, I’ll take that every time.

That second half was Mourinho's Spurs. Tough, organised, robust, communicative, focused and effective on the break.

I like watching good defending. It's got a powerful teamwork component to it and football is a team game. I don't like watching eight Spurs players prowling around the edge of the box with not a bloody clue how to pick apart a 9-man opposition defence. But we didn't defend like that today. It was just Lloris and the back four, with Lucas tracking back and Sissoko or WInks blocking up the gaps.

Leicester made good chances and they failed to score not because we were fortunate, but because there was always a Spurs defender in the right place with a block or a header. If not, Lloris was alert.

It's not virtuoso football, but neither is it boring, grim football. It's good teamwork.

Obviously, Kane deserves the MotM award, but really it should go to the whole Spurs defence. Solid.

 

[teok]

Well played every one.

 

[rupsmith]

A lot of Brendan Bashing going on - not entirely sure why.

Mourinho Masterclass. 5-2-1 since the restart.

We look a solid team with a clear game plan and tactical flexibility. And confidence is clearly building. Also he is clearly doing something right on rest and recovery - the players don’t look so bloody tired anymore. Towards the end under Poch and before COVID under Jose everyone seemed to be running on fumes.

This is what an effective counterattacking side looks like:

Theses stats are hard to process. No one could suggest that was an undeserved win. We were clinical then soaked up their pressure. Wouldn't have made sense to try and play on the front foot with a player like Vardy to deal with.

Is that a valid excuse? Most people would display them in their loft behind the Christmas decorations
