Spurs resemble a pile of sticks leaning against a wall with the rampaging Moisés Caicedo happy to dismantle themSitting through this tightly stitched but still oddly shapeless game of football, you kept thinking: what does this remind me of? The trapped energy, the collisions. The sense of something always but never really happening.Oh yes.
