I remember them being above mid table but after they beat Tottenham theyre now fourth and only 2 points off the top of the league. That means that if they didn’t lose to Nottingham forest or Everton they would be first. Ik they really haven’t had difficult match ups but it’s still very impressive.

    Villa definitely did not play well today but a win is a win. Emery is great at getting them to win matches they probably shouldn’t win.

    Plus this is the problem with playing the way Spurs play, it’s too inconsistent. Today was the perfect example of why playing controlled and “boring” is what top teams need to do.

      Also to double comment: playing boring is the opposite of what top teams do whe up 1-0 against a team at home. City and Liverpool won the title by being relentless. You go for a Casio at hoe then you can sub and adjust to ease out the game. At 1-0 no top team ever should be parking the bus that’s insane

      Spurs have 7/8 best players out.

      Can we stop making this silly claims about the playstyle.

      How does arsenal, Liverpool look if you just remove 7 starting outfielders?

      I mean it’s really nuts how people just ignore the luck here injury wise. Romero being out is obviously on him, but south shave their top 3 cms out top 2 cbs, starting winger and more
