jeepers...and breathe for a minute

 

[Sandman]

Too much stress

4 more mins! They'll get another chance easily.

They are going for it. This is going to be tense. Our back three need to sit deeper.

They are just looking for the spins in behind now with Long and Ridriguez

Of course they are.

Losing by two or three goals at WHL is no shame for any team. A point there though would make their season.

How many times has Dier hoofed crosses far into the stands today?

 

[paxtonwolf]

TAKE YOUR TIME

 

[paxtonwolf]

Well won Janssen. Now take your time. Corner flag if needbe

 

[Kandi1977]

Janssen is excellent at drawing free kicks when holding up the ball.

 

[DeanoAustin]

We haven't been good today, even in the first half, but f**k me our players worked hard.

Great win in a lot of ways too. Thought Verts, Dembele and Alli were our best players while Winks did well too.

 

[PochettinoPochettinoPochettino]

Well that was pleasant!

 

[paxtonwolf]

Chelsea were lauded for grinding out a win when badly.

Same could be said today. Did well in those last 5/10mins and saw it out.

Not pretty, but massive massive 3pts make no mistake

 

[Whiffler]

Woohoo !

Win ugly - no team shape, but that was their plan methinks

draw in late game would see good-ish weekend for us

 

[DeanoAustin]

Is it just me or does Dembele sort of have a Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson look about him?

 

[afsoc4life]

Good cameo by Janssen. Dele needs to be talked to. He spoilt two very good moves.

 

[Grays_1890]

Job done, next

 

[Sandman]

Dang that was pure stress. We could not hold a ball, pass the ball cleanly or see a tackle coming all second half. Was a stress for sure but we hung on.

 

[Legohamster]

Quite a few played badly, but the win is all that matters.

International breaks are a thousand times better on the back of a win.

 

[Kandi1977]

Hard fought 3 points. Well done! We're just a properly good TEAM now! In hindsight, Trippier should probably have started. Walker was visibly not 100% today.

 

[ringo]

It is good to see Spurs doing what it takes to grind out a win. A lot less flakier than some of our previous line ups. I really hope we can hang on to the Belgian contingent.
