Right, I'm gonna have my tin hat on after this, but fuck it, here goes....
I hate the scum as much as anyone on here, but credit where it's due and they put up a hell of a fight last night. Nine men for most of the second half and until the chavs got the 3rd goal at the death, it looked more likely that Tottenham would equalise. It looked as though Dier had, but was very marginally offside. My main point is that Postecoglu has made a huge difference to that team and it shows you the influence a manager can have.
They were poor last season and I thought they'd be fucked once Kane walked, but they've made some good signings and the manager has also re-introduced players like Bissouma who have made a difference. I like both fullbacks and even though Udogie is a little raw and wild, he's only young and is going to be useful. As for Porro, I'd take him at our place tomorrow. When they bought Vicario, the keeper, I thought he'd be crap, but unfortunately I've been impressed. When I saw he'd come from Empoli, who are a complete nothing side and that he'd been bouncing around other no mark teams, then I expected what we're getting from Raya. I thought that if he were any good, then he'd have been snapped up by one of the Italian big boys, but looks like they've missed out. Let's hope he's having a purple patch and that the wheels will come off.
Bottom line, Postecoglu seems to be everything that Legohead isn't. He seems like a proper bloke who can inspire his players, unlike Arteta, who is a robotic buzz-word and jargon caricature...a Wenger clone. The scum are giving it 110% and playing for the manager and while I sincerely hope that you boys are right and it goes all spursy again, I have my doubts.
Anyway, tin hat on and I'll wait for the flak.
