8 hours ago Football Daily | Spurs live down to underdog billing as Arsenal paint town red

Sign up now! Sign up now! Sign up now? Sign up now!Since comfortably beating Aston Villa at the start of November, Tottenham Hotspur have won only two of the 11 Premier League matches they’ve contested. Well, played in or at least turned up for. Indeed, a good lawyer might argue that technically they haven’t really won any because one of the aforementioned victories came against peak b@nter era Manchester City, while not even Spurs were capable of doing anything other than swat the current Southampton rabble aside, a feat that is not so much something to be proud of, but more the equivalent of helping yourself to the pennies covering a dead man’s eyes. Having taken just eight points from their previous 10 games, Ange Postecoglou’s knack-depleted team went into Wednesday night’s north London derby as firm underdogs and duly lived down to their billing.I would never dare doubt the accuracy and reliability of statistics from Big Website, but some of the match stats from the Holsten Pil...

5 hours ago In Ange we trust? Why Spurs should risk potential failure and back Postecoglou | Max Rushden

Critics misunderstand the Australian’s past achievements and would be better off directing their ire at Daniel LevyIn the buildup to the north London derby the former Tottenham goalkeeper Paul Robinson repeated a line that almost every pundit/journalist/fan has used this season: “With Spurs, you don’t know what you’re going go get.” The trouble is it feels increasingly – especially in the league – that you know exactly what you’re going to get.Wednesday night appeared entirely predictable. Watching two great young prospects, Djed Spence and Archie Gray, play the ball to each other, slowly but surely progressing it backwards towards their own corner flag before giving away possession/a throw/a corner with almost no other options, seemed like a very limited and dispiriting choose your own adventure.

Hosts played with a concentrated spirit in north London derby and were good value for their 2-1 defeat of TottenhamMaybe the world isn’t ending after all. Or at least, not yet anyway. For Arsenal, and indeed the Premier League, the title race is still alive, still twitching, like a dog kicking out in its sleep wondering whether to wake up.The past week has felt like a point of crisis for Mikel Arteta’s team, with cup defeats, points dropped, the attack and midfield gripped with a kind of ennui football. Certainly the energy around this team can often seem manic, overly low then overly high. Continue reading...

23 hours ago What’s the reality of this Spurs team: supremely unlucky or unforgivably naive? | Jonathan Liew

Ange Postecoglou has a good side in there somewhere, but also one addicted to danger, impulsive and impatientPedro Porro hit the post in the 94th minute. It was an opportunistic shot from a tight angle, about 20 yards out. No kind of angle for a shot, really. But it was struck well, fierce and swerving viciously away from David Raya in the Arsenal goal, who probably wouldn’t have saved it. The frame was still rattling several seconds later.So, here’s a thought exercise. What are the consequences if Porro’s shot goes in? Does it make this Tottenham team any better? Does it change our assessment of their season so far? Does it render the club any better run or better coached? It shouldn’t, right? A hopeful pot-shot going an inch to the left shouldn’t mean anything beyond itself. Continue reading...
