Spurs fans seem to be luxuriating in some romantic notion of going down in a blaze of glory, but ultimately you were well beaten because of the stubbornness to keep playing a high line (against a really poor attack).
At one point you were so close to sneaking an equaliser and with a more pragmatic defensive mindset could have then held out for a draw 🤷.
@hallenbeck@spurs@coys The they never stop narrative is over blown in this instance. Ultimately a lucky break with the own goal got the win against nine men.
Not sure if it was the Reds being so good, but I honestly expected a far more convincing performance from Spurs yesterday.
@hallenbeck @mike @coys @spurs I wouldn’t swap him for Ali but I did say he was your best summer buy
@hallenbeck @coys Not really sure what I have to be bitter about.
It’s great that he prioritises attacking, exciting football. But there’s definitely a time to be pragmatic and cut your losses.
Come the end of the season, we’ll see how much that point could have mattered.
Just my two cents. I’m obviously no more than an armchair pundit 🤷.
@hallenbeck @coys I’d say it was naive.

@hallenbeck @coys @spurs Wow. That really is like any team I’ve ever worked in. At the end of day, famous people really still are just people
@hallenbeck @coys @spurs I thought this clip said it all

@hallenbeck I really hope he smashes it. Just like Howe has at Newcastle
