There is still a lot of work to be done. We definitely lost control of the game in the last 20 mins and were bullied. José clearly unhappy with that. That drop off of attitude and commitment will be the biggest thing he'll be working on.

Going forward shouldn't be as big an issue. With Dele in the free role, we immediately regained our attacking mojo. A joy to watch.

Far too much hoofball for me though. Contrary to most, I like playing out from the back, and I like a possession game. But I also like full backs who stay back, and a proper defensive midfielder protecting the back 4 and enabling the pivot.

So pros and cons. Lots of evolution to come.

I wouldn’t call it hoof ball, there is a middle ground between suicidal pissing around with it at the back and aimless long balls

I know its in foreign, but theres something so sweet about hearing their lowlife fans jeer Dele as they think he's fucked it up, only for him to do something as filthy as that which leads to a goal.
Its beautiful.

Can'tg agree with that........why then did he raise the flag against Harry twice?
Yeah I agree about Harry. Maybe that advice is now out of date, but whether you agree or not, a quick google will show you that was the directive when VAR rolled out.

One of the reasons Dele looked better today is that when he picked up the ball in their half he had Son and Lucas sprinting beyond him and the Spam defenders, that gave him options to play the ball quicker. Too often in the past year or more he has remained static having received the ball, and that is becuase of a lack of movement ahead of him.

Its weird that Poch had a great system, changed it for the worse and then didn’t change it back.

Am I the only one who thought the Frederick's dirty tackle against Sonny in the first half deserved a straight red??

Haha I saw you got a bit of a kicking.
Mental that some people still haven't quite grasped the ratings system.

Just seen Jose's post match interview on Spurs TV and really liked his reaction to the 2nd goal. Shame on me - I'm liking Jose Mourinho.

I feel dirty. :depressed:

Thought they were like that all match. And then had the cheek to cry about it when Kane gave some back to Snodgrass (which I adored, me the hypocrite :sneaky:)
