Missed the GG and AVB years then? Plenty of defensive turgid football over the history of Spurs, it's certainly not all been gung ho, it wasn't even that under poch
Teams don’t pick us off
They were lucky tonight even when we had 9 men
Don’t under estimate the way we play
We will smash teams even when we have players out IMO

Need to keep a positive frame of mind, we all wasn’t expecting us to start the season this well so we need to keep level headed and just enjoy the season for what it is, a transition. Its going to have up’s and down but just enjoy the ride. The crowd, the players and big Ange were incredible tonight and i think we have seen us turn a corner tonight. The character and the confidence, we were well in that game with 9 men and maybe should have equalised. I also think the var decision on Sons goal was lined up at the wrong angle as the first angle showed the players toe playing him on imo.
Lets just take the positives and chill on the negatives, this isn’t a Conte team.
Before Chelsea went 2-1 up they had chance after chance...we were brave but also very naive in not falling back a bit. If that was vs City, Arsenal or victims we could have had a record loss
We played attacking football under Poch, Sherwood (spit), Redknapp, Ramos, Jol, Hoddle, Ardiles and Venables in that time.
Taking away the romance of "being brave" etc why will continuing to play with a high line regardless of personnel bring us any more success than those in that list? For example, what is so different to Ardiles' time?
They would have been 2-0 at half time and we would continue defending the rest of the second half.Chelsea wouldn't have had a shot against a Conte team
And get picked off by sides smarter than Chelsea again and again?
Remember if they had basic ball control and intelligence they could have had 8....
The original point was about us having played it out from the back, which I don't think we have regularly for a long period of times. Always been pockets of turd in our history and generally its been when we haven't played with any style.
I haven't seen any football like Ange style in the last 30 odd years, it's ridiculously unique in style
They wouldn’t have if we had 11 men onBefore Chelsea went 2-1 up they had chance after chance...we were brave but also very naive in not falling back a bit. If that was vs City, Arsenal or victims we could have had a record-breaking loss
I was about to post something similar. I have loved this club since my first game, and ridden the waves. Ange gives me Poch + Burkinshaw vibes, and on we go.So proud of the team tonight. Var, sendings off, injuries, conceding 4 goals aside.
WE WERE AMAZING.
Beautiful football. Never stopped going forward. Itmight be a spurs performance i'm most proud of.
Yes i am very drunk. But love this team.
Vicario is a GHod.
It’s the best football we have had in my adult life and I’m 47The original point was about us having played it out from the back, which I don't think we have regularly for every manager or period. Always been pockets of turd in our history and generally its been when we haven't played with any style.

You really found a negative in that? Yes we made mistakes, but our passing and movement was faster and more crìsp. Yes we got hit on the counter after we lost 2 to sendings off and another couple through injury. But we still played well and had the possibility of winning it.

It’s so much smarter than ardiles ballI liked some of the 'bravery' but some of it was naive to the extreme. Having 20 minutes of Conte-ball in that second half might have secured a point. We kept giving Chelsea masses of space unneccesarily and this Chelsea side looked poor.
If some of the older heads on here can assure me with detail how this is NOT simply Ardiles football, i'd be most appreciative
