Come down lads, Its tottenham

They defeated us at OT on the previous two seasons, while the last three matches at WHL have finished with a draw.

 

[Jippy]

Fecking hell, the players look like they are enjoying themselves too. What has happened?!

 

[pauldyson1uk]

As enjoyable as it's been, I don't think Spurs could be playing any worse.

how about WE are making them look bad.

 

[vinit]

Love how Mata is playing today, not getting bullied out of posession

 

[Jaytay]

My streams have been utter crap today and it's apparently coinciding with us playing some good stuff. feck off.

Try first row sport

 

[Mrs Smoker]

i'd love to see the possesion percentages

60-40 in our favour if whoscored is to be believed.

 

[SqueakyWeasel]

Anyone got a feeling that LvG will change this completely to "fool" Liverpool next week and we'll lose #don'toverthinkitlouie…please!

 

[Raptori]

We're controlling the game and finishing very well, which is all down to us imo.

If we had played like this against lesser opposition then that'd be the reason, since we're actually playing against a quality team it's definitely just them having an off day. Nothing to do with our players starting to click a bit.

 

[thegregster]

Has Spurs only shot been Jones back pass?

 

[LeChuck]

Felli will get the plaudits and rightly so but a lot of this is down to the space further up the pitch for Mata and Herrera to move into. Dropping a striker has given us a lot more room to operate.

 

[Marcosdeto]

61-39

really? sounds about right

 

[Ballache]

Fecking hell, the players look like they are enjoying themselves too. What has happened?!

Tbh, LvG has made mistakes all season but he's always had the players' support.

 

[bleedred]

Let's not get carried away...Spurs have offered absolutely nothing!!!!...

 

[redevil2]

I challenge all those on here who have been so so critical of our players condemning them of having no talent and we must spend big in the summer. Today we play like an United team, the best since Sir Alex retired. What do they have to say about that? We played like we are challenging for title, confident, urgent and yet no sign of panic. So good

 

[Earthquake]

Feck, they're desperate to discredit us, back to banging on about Jones backpass.....

 

[Raw]

Has Spurs only shot been Jones back pass?

Yep. Total domination at the moment.

 

[DomesticTadpole]

Felli will get the plaudits and rightly so but a lot of this is down to the space further up the pitch for Mata and Herrera to move into. Dropping a striker has given us a lot more room to operate.

I agree we only need one to front.

 

[Mojo_]

Alot of things going right today, I'm mainly impressed by our pressing and eagerness to get the ball back. Great stuff so far

 

[Señor]

I dunno, they've gifted us the ball while under no pressure on numerous occasions.

We've been so good pressing today that it's not a surprise that Spurs are rattled when in possession.

 

[Damien]

please Louis do not change things at half time.

I'd be surprised if he did unless there was an injury. Against Arsenal Shaw got injured, and we were so open every time Arsenal went forward so LVG brought on Carrick to try and add some solidity.

Here, we're fine all over.

 

[kouroux]

It is not pointless possession today, we are dangerous

 

[Archie Leach]

Seriously Tottenham, why even bother?

 

[dsch]

Clattenburg gave a couple of throws against his linesman there?

 

[togg]

Seriously Tottenham, why even bother?

Yep....I said that in '99, last game of the season....

 

[prateik]

Carrick is so important.. both defensively and picking the attacking pass.

 

[kouroux]

Dier is out of his depth.

 

[Traub]

Looks like this is going to be our new 4-0 against QPR.

 

[mu4c_20le]

i fecking love mata he has been a livewire in central midfield today

 

[ha_rooney]

By far our best performance of the season. The tempo, intensity, speed of play are all so much better. None of the pointless pass sideways and keeping possession without going anywhere.

Hope we can keep this going in the second half and show this form to end the season.

 

[Snow]

Rooney knew what time it was.

 

[LeChuck]

Am loving these Smalling runs.

 

[Bloxy]

cant we just carry on without half time. I don't want to wake up.

 

[SalfordRed18]

Wanna see andreas and wilson on later in the second half.

 

[Raoul]

If we had played like this against lesser opposition then that'd be the reason, since we're actually playing against a quality team it's definitely just them having an off day. Nothing to do with our players starting to click a bit.

I think its down to our collective mentality that we are dominating. I've been waiting for one game that represented a psychological turning point under Van Gaal at some point, and this seems to be it. Whatever he did during the week, its finally working. Spurs are clearly rattled by our confidence, they probably thought they would get a shaken side after our midweek result. Fair play to LvG.

 

[PvsNP]

Great half.

 

[Tincanalley]

Wow. Just wow.

 

[Sassy Colin]

Best half of football this season?

 

[paulscholes18]

Perfect 1st half

 

[Marcosdeto]

best half in ages

 

[JonDahl]

Great half. First time we've really dominated a game in about 18 months.
