Spurs incidents , red cards & non stop VAR contraversie.
The 4- 1 win at 3PL, against the North London title challengers by the plucky West London under dogs, exposed a reckless, over excited, ill disciplined Spurs side.( traits also exhibited by the Spurs 606 contingent)
When Big Ange was asked about the (9 man) high line and the fact CFc did put 7 past the Spurs title challengers defence , the little Aussie battler response was," this is what we do"
Well good luck with that mate, if your hoping to challenge for the title!
Great result for the blues against the odds, but the stats and the scoreline do not lie
A night to remember, another glimmer of positivity to add to the erratic start Cfc have made this season.
Great night for Jackson, his first hatrick in a blue shirt
COY Blues, KTBFFH!
Cfc put 7 past a reckless

Fair play to Spurs though, they never gave up and made a game of it, have to say I grudgingly admire the attitude of Ange and his never say die approach to the game, even if his high line probably contributed to the size of our victory last night!

Hmm. 10v11 yes, but 9v11 it went beyond admirable & became genuinely stupid.
Against other teams maybe a different story, but the thing is they could've won that game whenever they wanted, the entire league knows what to do to beat us, or at least prevent us scoring, i.e. defend deep & narrow. And their players know that style from previous management. At 9 men they really should've cut their losses & settled for 1-1.
No complaints but it's hard to respect the fact they basically gave us 3 free points there.

I didn't say it wasn't stupid, just I admired the attacking intent!

It's the fact it was us that made it stupid! It might sound bonkers but doing that vs. Man City would've been different. That team will found a way through against nine however you play, so still defiantly swinging in that scenario would be very brave as you're risking a really embarrassing score line.
They gave us our perfect storm. They know are weaknesses & still played to our strengths in a situation they couldn't possibly win - pride comes before the fall!

OP
You didn't score one legitimate goal against an 11 man Spurs, but you did concede.
If you want to spin you scored seven legitimate goals, then I think football isn't for you.

Oh by the way Sandy , i never suggested that all 7 were legit.
The point was your goal was penetrated 7 times, which is fact!

Everyman and his dog understands that - apart from one individual who struggles to get his head around the most basic of things!
