Great game, we showed no weaknesses at all. The game exploded in the second half, I hope we can build on the confidence this gives. What a game by Dembele! He has really matured from the blind alley magnet he used to be. His ball skills has always been top notch, but his vision has improved immensly. I love how we press to win the ball back, dare I say Guardiola-esqe. This makes a ton of difference, as this has been our weakness for so long. Ball-winning/recovery is how you win games, not highlight reels or "special ones". Kane seems to have caught a bit of the Defoe tunnel-vision virus, but as long as we play as good as now I don't care. Feel a little bit sorry for the guys busting their guts to get in position though.
But what I like the most, is that the team looks like a young group totally without cancerous egos that has ridden our organization for ages. This is solid, something to build on. Our lack of pace, in which we have relied upon for a decade, may show to be a blessing in disguise. It has made us play smarter, more tactical, just plain better instead of being dependant on individuals to bail us out. I am so grateful to Pochettino for this. It almost looked like we sized them up for the first 25 minutes, and then went for the kill, like a predator. I have more belief in that we can keep this up than for a long time. It at least looks like we finally have a system.
