Tonight has been undeniably just about entirely positive, don't think he's saying otherwise. It's just that we had reason to feel the same way after the equally positive Crystal Palace performance and result, and then look how it went from there. Cautious optimism is very much the order of the day today: hopefully it will grow into well-justified optimism in the coming weeks and months and Poch will get back on track. I'd be really glad to see that happen, despite being a Poch Out cheerleader recently: I don't care who does well for Tottenham, I just want us to do well again - and if that's Poch then great, I'm all for it.We’ve played a load of shit teams and looked shit. Quality of the opposition means nothing tonight. We still had to go out and be professional and for the first time in a while we did. That’s the positive.
But the acid test will be sustaining good performances and results going forward, and tonight is just the first step on a long road for us to be able to confidently say that we're back in that good place, and so bearing in mind how things have been going for us for a good long while now I'd say the only sensible position to take after tonight's game would be that prudent mix of caution and positivity.
