I remarked on that at the time too. With all these things I can't help thinking "If that had been Spurs..."

When you win a half 2-1, and you are away to the champions - nobody was "awful".
Yes, players may have had bad moments. But when you add up all of their moments, and we win the half, 2-1 - everyone played well enough on the whole.

Haaland did get a card, you can see it on the match report, but yeah there should have been more.

I know Ange says he welcomes the scrutiny but I'm looking forward to the possibility of reporters NOT asking him if he intends on changing his approach anytime soon.
It's clear he's not going to change and the result and performance, especially in the 2nd half, surely vindicate his decision.

You’re nuts. Him coming in set the tone for the second half.

the ref made a mistake and knew he did. dishing out cards would have been the wrong way to handle it.

“whatever fallout or bad outcome there is, I'll take the responsibility. I'm the one that's putting them out there. Let's at least show a little bit more conviction about the kind of football team we want to be”
Bissouma made a mistake that led to a goal but he’s doing what his manager has empowered him to do. When it works it’s beautiful and creates real goal chances.

I get your point but he was lucky he didn't cost us more today. I've been a supporter of him , but today he was poor and we got the result despite his performance not because of it.

It wasn't PEH the player that changed it, it was the positional change that allowed us to play the forward players differently. Kulu back out on the right and the quicker Johnson out on the left against Walker. It gave us outlets we could pass through the lines to that just weren't there in the first half.

Once again his interview to Sky was amazing. Sat watching with best mates who are both West Ham and they both said how inspirational he is when he speaks. They aren't looking forward to Thursday.

I can’t wait to go and watch us play again on Thursday. That’s all I wanted after just going through the motions every other week over the past couple of years. All because of the transformation he’s made. Wherever we finish this year, it’s already a huge success. Back this man and see where we can go

Kulu is quoted saying Ange was angry at HT. We did look better 2nd half .

With the injuries we've got - if we'd sat back and played 10 men behind the ball, do you think we'd get any points and score 3? I know Conte did it but only with one of the best forwards in Premier League history having arguably the best game of his career so I think it's unlikely.
High risk high reward football. Audere est Facere and I'm all for it. Yes you get games like Chelsea where it all goes tits up but this is the mindset I've wanted to see from Tottenham my whole life - and I think on balance we're where we're supposed to be. Maybe we got a bit lucky today and against Liverpool, but we should have taken more against Villa and Chelsea.
The big thing for me under Ange is I feel like there's always a chance we can get something from games which was absolutely not the case under previous managers. Even when we've conceded late or have players sent off we keep pushing for another goal and never give up which is so refreshing. And for all the talk about him being "naive" for big games - only one team in the top nine has beaten us so far this season, compared to last year where everyone in the top nine except Brighton beat us at least once and four teams did the double over us.
