Chasing success over aesthetics

So Spurs fans,

since some of your fans are incapable of healthy debate and wanna hit the filter button when they lose an argument rather than debate it or accept it.

I thought I would try and reach some of the more reasonable ones.

Spurs picked up another win at the weekend over Brighton , a team that have proven to be decent and tough at their own ground.

However watching your game was not a good watch from my perspective.

I thought the game was turgid, lacked that excitement and entertainment.

You cannot argue with picking up the points however and at the nd of the day you have made a very solid start to the season and find yourself 3rd after 9 games with Chelsea unable to overtake you if they win their gme in hand.

How long do the Spurs fans put up with the dull football on show just now?
Are they happy enough to accept it whilst the results are still being delivered?

If Conte keeps the football the way it is and Spurs get 3rd im sure you ownt care much however next season would you expect him to equal or better that but play more attractive football?

If the results start to slip will he be under more pressure quicker due to the football not being as sexy?

I only bring it up cos Spurs have always been a team that the fans maybe not demand but expect a decent brand of aesthetic football. And how muhc do you sacrifice that kinds of tradition chasing results and how do the spurs fans react if they are unable to close the gap to the likes of Man City? Or will you be happy to keep churning out the 2nds, 3rds, 4ths etc under Conte if the football isnt particularly sexy?

If Sandy thinks Brighton are a bigger victory for spurs than Liverpool are for Arsenal then who am I to argue
----------------------------------------------------------------------

You're clearly an idiot, so you are correct, Sandy's view trumps yours.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Agreed Liverpool were a routine win for us and Brighton were a big win for you
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Nope, just another win.


Cry some more.

I'm just agreeing with sandy here

I would say that Conte hasn't had a full season and it will take some time for him to build and mould his squad.

He's currently fitting square pegs into round holes which isn't ideal. Arteta has spent half a billion over 3 years to get this Arsenal side looking somewhat decent and even then i feel they will drop off after a relatively kind fixture list and injuries etc.

Same with Klopp and arguably Pep. Cone is a pragmatic manager but once he's had another window or two i think we'll really see what he can do. The fact that he achieved 4th place last season was a miracle and after a relatively tough start to the season, we sit comfortably in 3rd place and are yet to click.
