Match Threads Spurs vs Chelsea - Day 11

[murichej]

I’m loving it

so so proud

 

[Hazelton]

Oh my god.

 

[JerryGarcia]

Maybe it’s suicidal playing this way with 9 men but at least it’s been entertaining and we could have easily nicked a goal or two here. Fine margins!

 

[Ribble]

Did Bentancur just try to head it onto his foot there?

 

[qqq1]

I think Ange’s ‘we don’t change for anyone’ philosophy means he has to continue playing the high line. Drilling in the ethos might mean more over the long term.

To be honest I'd rather lose like this than lose playing Conte shitball.

 

[Cavehillspur]

So close fs

 

[Misfit]

I'm prouder of this team than I have been in years.

 

[Gassin's finest]

If we get a point out of this I will get a Spurs tattoo of the SC members' choosing.

How about one of SC's members?

 

[cjbyid]

Chelsea are so bad.

So frustrating. Arghh

 

[Col_M]

Wee still pressing

 

[Impspur1]

You find out what stuff your team are made of in adversity, we have plenty of the right stuff.

 

[Trent Crimm]

Wow, Gusto is thick.

Mucho

 

[Metalhead]

We were going to be up against it with nine men however we played. Playing This way reinforces to the players that this is how we play no matter what. We're not going to retreat for anyone.

This is great compared to last season. Everyone would have moaned at Conte's 'pragmatic' approach.

 

[Scot-Spur]

Would take our first pen of the season

 

[greaves]

I'm prouder of this team than I have been in years.

We are back from the wilderness years

 

[djhotspur]

Benta man how how how

 

[Marcus_spur]

Would take our first pen of the season

Vicarios first goal

 

[glacierSpurs]

Romero cost us the game. But Ange was way too naive.

The way to play, he has reiterated many times, is to play with the intention to win in any case. The prizes will come from the right performances. The team can only go upwards from here.

Conte put on defensive shape long before a game to protect his reputation of not being thrashed. Ange put up attacking shape but one that rears strong mentality risking his reputation and records. I know who I will choose. And the players will run through more walls for him in the future.

 

[Hazelton]

How about one of SC's members?

That would be tiny, result.

 

[Kirito]

Vicario with the floor spin
