That was proper derby day muck in that second half. They threw everything at us and we stood up. Fantastic loved it - except Oliver mugging is off every opportunity. Cheating ****


COYS!

Thought the back four, keeper, sissoko and dele were amazing tonight. Only player missing really was Eriksen.

Didn't do much going forward, played well defensively. Felt a bit of a deflated performance but have to give the racists credit, they were much better tactically and they were up for it more.

Weird though cause beating them again should mean happiness, yes I'm happy we won but it just feels a bit odd.

Sky said the return fixture was to be played on a Thursday. Unusual.

Didn’t play at all well tonight but 1-0 after that is a cracking result.

Smart by poch. Simultaneously showing how great a manger he is by winning while highlighting the massive need for investment

An average enough show where we didn’t really click at all on the front foot but we didn’t half dig in and defend. Arguably they made it easier for us by playing without a forward but that’s their problem. Full backs, centre halves and Gaza’s superb. Thought Winks and Sissoko put in a proper shift too. Not much clicked higher up but no-one hid away.

Who wouldn’t take a 1-0 lead at half time, that’s where we stand.

How many shotsdid they have inside the box? They didn’t create enough.

Yeah just watching the highlights on sky and Chelsea really didn't have many opportunities.

It was a tense watch but maybe that's because I'm not used to spurs sitting back compact and soaking up pressure. Good that we have that in the locker when we need it.
