Maybe we've decided that playing well and then not getting the result is more damaging than playing poorly and sneaking a result?Performance wasn’t great but we fudging won. Dug out 9 points from 9 against Burnley, Brighton and West Brom. That will do. We were better second half, got a bit of control.
To be fair, they had few real chances. Hugo made one save, the one that hit the post wasn’t a chance. We defended very well and have done recently which is massive given how many we’ve been conceding and how the rest of the league is defending.
We will need to do better in the upcoming games but we won’t be playing sides set up to stop us playing.
Defence was really good today. Hojbjerg was good. The rest were ordinary at best. Son and Bale were particularly brick.
@milo Dier for me. Another excellent performance from him.
How many times have we brick the bed in that position. Today was the opposite of bricking the bed. Be thankful for that and let’s look forward.
Not sure I agree with that. He and Hojberg worked hard today.
Controversial? I think that's the 3 everyone wants, including the manager judging by what he was saying the other day.He has to start picking hojbjerg, ndombele and lo celso. Its not even that controversial a midfield three

Takes screenshot as it is the last time he'll see Spurs top of the league for decades.
Not sure if people remember, but even Liverpool, for as good as they were last season, had a host of rather lucky grindy 2-1 or 1-0 wins. We're not going to make every team we meet look like part timers.
Did win.Must win.

Can someone kind and clever work out when and how long we've been top each time?
E.g. 2 hours in 2018 after 2 games (which doesn't really count)
2 days in 2016
2 days in 1987
Or whatever the truth is.......
STOP THE TIMER!
Exactly. Oh, Leicester scored so we aren't top any more. What was that, about 20 minutes?That’s the sort of winning meteorology I hope the players have.
Let’s hope they enjoy their “Top of the league after 8 games (for a couple of hours)” trophy...
Not one can claim he doesn’t work hard, but he’s pretty slow and useless on the ball which killed attacks - he stands off players and is pretty easy to side step.
We still need a CM
