Lloris did really well tonight. Only one flap out of about ten. That’s the way Brentford attack and he wasn’t exposed.

That is music to my ears.

Yes, just hoping Son limping slightly was just a niggle, he is more important to us than Kane right now

We still could have done better going forward, missed some lovely chances really. But. Its the best going forward we have looked in a very very long time, A clean sheet and you can see the formation and tactics starting to work and come together. A clean sheet in itself is good. I did not get too scared every time they attacked. Only when they had all those long throws.
@milo Skipp, Reggie, for motm for me.

If Kane can get his goal scoring together we can have a great season.

So, me buckos.
Looking at the table right now - Arsenal losing at ManU - if we win the game in hand against Burnley - probably won't happen until next year - we go top four.
Just think about that.
We've been treading water (sewage, shurely. ed) all season. Had some utterly awful spells. Looked irretrievably bad.
And we're in shape to go top four. Yeah, long season still ahead. But we're in the hunt to go top four after all that duress and we've got a manager addicted to winning and achievement. Playing in a great stadium full of great fans. And probably a better transfer than anyone's letting on.
I can live with that.

Conte is getting a tune out of Ben Davies again…. He was solid tonight, but Skipp was better still

He's not a medic.
Come on man, he's been at the club for aeons. He's the guy that looks after noobs. He was in Croatia looking after little Daniel Levy.

Thought Dier did a lot of effective mopping up too.

The commentators said that for most of the game Hoj and Skipp had to deal with 3 midfielders!
Then Jensen came on and they couldn't cope with 4 so Winks came on to help out. Simple pimples.
Winks played well I thought. Much more progressive and confident, tried a few riskier passes, back heel, tried to beat a few men, good stuff.

And after that, winning our game in hand would take us into 4th!

I enjoy his interviews. He always talks about the game rather than just platitudes (granted this is an in-house interview so likely to be a bit different to the general media).

Some - the few, the shameless, the reckless and dangerous - will suggest that had we played up more to our capabilities earlier in the season we'd be walking off with a top four spot. No.
We might have more closely approached our best levels in some games had Nuno shown a bit more ability. Assuming it was there to offer. Had we done so, we'd not have Conte as manager now. We'd be still muddling along under Nuno with little hope of raising our prospects toward a top four finish and United would have this inspirational man leading them.
Just the thought of going top four with one win - after all the nonsense of the past year or so - has to give every Spurs player a re-defined sense of purpose. We're lucky to have Conte and with him comes a chance to lift our heads and look upwards.
I can honestly say I never liked him when he was with Chelsea. Feared? Yes. Respected? Yes. Just thought he was a bit over the top. Now? I can see what he brings to a club. All that energy and passion comes with a keen tactical mind and a first-hand, fully learned knowledge of what players have to do to become their best.
How can our players not raise their levels under such guidance? I've already looked up local sources for Goji berries. And started reading the labels of processed food for contents information.
I can see where this sort of intense, detail-focused approach might generate a burnout point down the road, but how could you not respond in the manner he demands if you're one of our players? Any Spurs player not bringing a discernible improvement to their game - and we're seeing some already - within the next month fully deserves to be jettisoned.
