How To Win A Match, Tottenham Style

- After 60 minutes, gesture to the team to settle the ball and defend for the next 30 minutes despite this tactic having almost always resulted in an equaliser against us.

- Fail to take into account an incredibly leaky defense in putting 10 men behind the ball and not going for a 3rd goal.

- Fail to take into account a low confidence keeper not capable of commanding his area against crosses or set pieces.

- Proceed to concede late equaliser from a cross after inviting wave after wave of attacks from a top four team.

- Talk about how we ‘deserved to win’.

I’ll put out more detailed thoughts when suicide is less top of my mind.

I have to say I disagree. Jol didn’t make his usual mistake of taking off an attacker for a defender or defensive mid. Good for him. We did attack in the last third, but we were disorganized.
I was actually pissed that we continued to attack. What is Robbo doing punting the ball to the opposite end of the field when there are 5 minutes left? Why not give a quick throw and let the team waste some time in a slower attack?
