A 2-0 home win after a top performance against a team above you in the table was the perfect remedy to your 2017 hangover. 2 weeks at this stage of the season feels like eons. The players are in top condition, firing on all cylinders and just do not need that much time away from competitive football. I don't remember ever seeing Spurs put in a good performance after an extended break.
Absolutely. We saw it yesterday against Stoke. They all ****ed off to Dubai for a week while we slogged it out with 10 men on Thursday night at Wembley. We looked infinitely sharper, got stuck in and were raring to go. They looked liked they were all nursing sunstroke and half of them looked overweight. Momentum at this stage of the season is far, far more important than 'a good rest'.
Agree...will interesting to see how Arsenal do at the weekend. Stoke were ****ing atrocious after 2 weeks off whereas we had played 3 matches in 7 days yet completely out ran them yesterday. Liverpool looked a yard slower all over the pitch
We were flying earlier in the season though Had confidence, were attacking well, defending well, everything balanced. It is in us but how to get it back is the problem
At least we are now the worst form team....and we can't play ourselves....but if we did, we'd probably give the ball away in midfield and lose to a goal on the counter
