Rather than 60%+ playing side ways game, win a game!
Don;t care about possession.
We won the possession game in the CL final and look what it got us!
Yeah, this is the thing. I should be looking at a 3-0 win and having zero negative impressions whatsoever, but I know this style of play will come back to bite Spurs in the long run. I know stats only tell half the story but you simply can't surrender that much possession and that many shots and get away with it every week.
That said, results are undoubtedly good at the minute. Just wish it was actually enjoyable.
At the end of the day, football is for entertainment. We don't win the trophies when the club does. So how can anybody genuinely say they enjoy this. And yes, parking the bus is a tactic to get lucky as eventually teams will get goals back and then we will crumble.
I was comfortable throughout the game. It would have taken a screamer to break the bus.
Clean sheet. 3 Goals. Kane on form. King Jose rattling more cages. Love it.

I have enjoyed winning 4 games , what's not to enjoy?
Well said Amanda.
It’s football to be tolerated, IF we are winning, that’s it.
Long term I don’t think it’s sustainable but right now wins are all that matters.
It was only the second half that was a let down. It wasn't only a tactical thing though, as our players conceded possession quite easily. Winks didn't have a particularly good second half.

Short term is all this ever was gonna be.
Get us back in the CL and win us a trophy Jose.
OP
Possession means SFA. Arsenal have just reached a cup final and beaten the champions with less possession.

Winks needs badly replacing. I am sure Jose knows that.

He did well first half.
Still got one game left.
Least there’s still something to play for.

Can think of a couple who need replacing before Wink’s if I’m honest!
Won 3 in a row, including the NLD, and scored 8 goals. Yet you’re still complaining?
Get a grip. You’re playing a lot better than you have done under Poch for the last 12 months.
Oh ffs does this mean we are now going to have Leeds fans on articles
3 wins in a row and have beaten a top 5 team 3-0. That is definitely a step in the right direction from where we were under Mourinho.
Hopefully with better players in the team, the possession improves in games like this.
Winks was our best player today phenomenal. Great player. Should build our midfield around him
