*** Tottenham Hotspur vs Manchester United OMT ***

A great result, but it was strange because we never really played that well. Lennon and Eriksen were our best and Vlad came good, but over the 90 minutes we did not have any great performances. This is what makes this such a great win. The side did it without playing out of their skins. What was wrong with Ade? I hope it wasnt another 'Hollywood' moment!

Should be laying into Moyes for putting him right back. He had the beating of Rose every time. One of their most dangerous players in the first half and he goes and takes of Smalling and puts Valencia at right back, dumb founded. It was Valencias poor defensive ability that allowed Eriksen to sneak in and head home the winner.

Loved Sherwood's interview just now - 'I think we could have played better' is the first thing he said. Awesome, high standards. Great. To me, he's proved himself now going away to mid table teams, going away to big teams, playing at home to smaller teams. I'm no longer worried that his approach may only work for certain types of games and not for others. He's got it.

Going by what I've now seen of Sherwood, I can see why Levy is impressed. Have to say I've been very impressed by the man in all his TV and press interviews. Seems like the kind of manager you'd want to play for.

Loving Sherwood's Spurs .

COYS!!!
 
7th away league win already. IIRC only bettered in the PL era by last seasons haul, and still 9 awaydays left

Unlike AVB, who spoke a lot of nonsensical double talk. By crikey if his team talks were as unintelligible as his post match interviews, it was no wonder that the team played so poorly.

For me the most important thing has to be, he certainly looked to have given us our Tottenham back. And it feels good.
 
Looking at the replays of the Erikson goal, he was very brave to put his head on that. Could have been a nasty collision with the United players' foot.
 
A few of you were puzzled/angry at the decision to bring Kane on, but his arrival seemed to coincide with relieving of the constant pressure we were under. The ball just seemed to keep coming straight back every time we cleared it and I imagine they thought that, at that stage of the game, Kane was going to be better than Soldado at closing down and holding the ball up.

Kane actually provided my favourite moment of the game when he hoofed the ball into row Z while in an offside position. The great thing is, he could not be done for time wasting as it was not until he had touched the ball that he was actually committing a foul. Quick thinking on his part.

So, does Tim now possess the best win record of any Spurs manager? 60% if you include the West Ham cup defeat.

Get the **** in.

Now that we've got the points, we can relax and reflect that is was a fantastically well prepared team today. The coaching staff, Sherwood, absolutely brilliant work. We looked like a quality team out there. I wanted to know how Sherwood would adapt to not being able to go gung-ho against the big teams and he's shown what he can do. Very, very impressed.

And the players. Once they secured the points they carried out the plan perfectly. Fantastic performance. And the young guys as well seeing out that win. It's awesome. Well done to Sherwood for using them. Losing our best player in Ade who would have been perfect as the hold up man in the latter stages and still seeing it out. So, so impressed.

=D> and with the guys to come back hopefully we can go from strength to strength. 2014 suddenly looks promising again.
 
Re: Heroes!!!!

Wouldn't say heroes. We won at a ground that isn't a fortress anymore. Moyes is the manager of the club and they're languishing in mid table half way into the season. It was a good performance by a good selection of footballers. I am proud that we won, it was a good win, but lets not get carried away.

We beat Arsenal at The Emirates in the FA Cup, they'll reach hero status.

Jesus mate, 7th, 5 points from 4th isn't quite "languishing in mid table", as well as they have won 5 on the bounce.

Fact is we have only won twice there in 26 games (this being the 2nd), we absorbed a fair amount of pressure and still minus a couple of key players, we can say well done.

If so, at least we've got the January window to address that.

I can't quite believe it. All the chaos, all the slow, pondering football, all the uncertainty, doubt, five and six-nil thrashings.....and we're still doing better than last season points wise, and we've just matched last season's 'feel good' win at OT. :D

I've got the old bouncy feeling again, one I haven't felt for a long time. Credit to Tim Sherwood for the way he set the midfield up, with Capoue and Dembele dropping deep ahead of Dawson and Vlad while Eriksen and Lennon pushed up to form almost a front four with Soldado and Ade. The former nullified Rooney's tendency to drop deep quite well, while the latter allowed us one-on-one situations whenever we received the ball ahead of United's back four. True, that meant we essentially gave up the center of the park, but f*ck it, it worked. We lost a bit of composure towards the end with Ade, Soldado and Capoue all going off, but...f*ck me, what a win. Well done, lads. Well done, young 'uns who came into such a high pressure game and performed. And well fecking done, Full-time Tim. Take a bow, son. :D :D :D :D

I wouldn't really call the players heroes after being the FOURTH team to beat Man Utd at Old Trafford this season. Last year was hero worthy. They were absolutely flying, probably top of the league, managed by the best manager of all time, we hadnt won their in 20 odd years. And we went and scored 3 goals and beat them in their own back yard.

Well I did like AVB too but Sherwood's style is perhaps more of a good fit for our club.

Gilly you have a point about the drones of AVB, at times I found myself thinking, yeah okay Andre, whatever.

So I'm preferring Tim's chatsl to Andre's.....I'm not intellectual enough that must be it it .:(
