I've been looking through the match stats. Spurs weren't as bad as the scoreline suggests. The amount of efforts on our goal, outside or inside the area, was quite reasonable for an away side. Think we've seen considerably worse. It was the way we battled to a man from start to finish which kept them at bay, and the explosive attacking momentum we have developed, which frightened the F***ing sh*te out of them, every time we got the ball and moved into their half.
Skrtel and Flanno were immense again at the back, as was Agger, maybe to a slightly lesser extent, and Johnson, now regained his form and belief was terrific.
Flanno's dummy to pass inside, and then to turn away from the spuds player was just sublime. Set us up for another attack with half the spuds players behind the ball watching. Led to a goal as well.
Spurs aren't the most consistent of sides, but they did come off a decent run of form, and a good recent result, coming back to win against southampton. They certainly came with a bit of confidence and a taste for revenge. So don't right them off as cannon fodder, that only goes to diminish what we have achieved here.
I 'm scared to get my hopes up too high, but rather than spuds being poor, we were F***ing brilliant, in every department. The spurs players didn't just look like a beaten side, they looked totally shell shocked.
