Not specifically Spurs news...... However there is an interesting few paragraphs on the fouls we have committed this year

We are streetwise with our fouls, also love the fiesty side to our players, mentally strong and they don't shy from the physical side.

 

[Matthew Wyatt]

For us to be so good at tactical fouling, we must train for them. I wonder who gets to be the 'victims'?

This fouls thing has been pointed out all year. Some people on here really don't like it and protest every time but the evidence really is there for all to see. The argument I guess is whether they're intentional fouls or just a byproduct of our pressing style.

I bet everyone that's done well in any league has done it.

I'd rather be guilty of it than a victim of it.
Chelsea not only make a lot of fouls to break games up they also simulate being fouled regularly. They came unstuck with the physio situation though!

We're hardly the Crazy Gang. It's just everyone is expected to do their part in defense.

I'd say it was N'Jie and Bentaleb this season.

You can't have an Argentine manager without a little Viveza criolla....
