I think you're actually getting a bit carried away[/B], genuinely. All I am saying is it is really hard to evaluate how much was "us" when a team is that abjectly bad. And they were fucking bad.
We know we have some very good players, much better than QPR's, and that disparity is often bridged by hard work and good organisation, which they also were devoid of.
So we outplayed and beat a shit team who were badly organised and half arsed. That's lovely, I enjoyed it, you can do no more but I'm really not sure what you learn from it that you didn't already know. I certainly didn't.
And there has been very little evidence in our previous two games, also against pretty shit teams.
So , whilst I am definitely hopeful that we will see signs of a collective coached approach in the future, which has been the hallmark and reason we hired Pochettino, I really can't say I've seen it yet. And to be honest, I don't entirely expect to.
Maybe you're right, but after the turgid dross we've been subjected to under AVB and the zero tactics/1990's approach of Sherwood, I think a little bit of collective euphoria is acceptable. Just seeing the ball ping around the park is enough to raise the pulse and when we stick the ball in the net after a 48 pass move I'm not surprised there's a good degree of optimism. 2 games in and we look like a different prospect. Think we can give Liverpool a game now.
