[The Athletic] Why Tottenham emerged stronger from a 4-1 defeat: ‘It’s just who we are, mate’ – Charlie Eccleshare
"The result is deflating and could have serious longer-term consequences depending on the severity of Maddison and Van de Ven’s injuries, but Spurs’ performance also served to strengthen the clarity of Postecoglou’s message. Nothing will divert him from playing the way he believes will achieve sustainable success for this team."

@hallenbeck @coys The fans at the ground were singing as they emptied out which is a testament to the level of support Ange has I think. Not many clubs at the moment can shrug off a heavy home defeat to a rival. The big takeaway really is that playing with high intensity has to be a controlled mindset, the moment it verges on recklessness it all starts to break down. Ange will absolutely fix that. He’s right about VAR too imo.
@otherdog @coys Yeah, agreed. Although it doesn't feel heavy apart from the injuries and suspensions. It feels like some sort of victory in defeat to me. And still only 11 matches in. I think that control will come. He's still in the phase of making players *believe* in the system and, as he keeps saying, there will be bumps in the road.
What a story it's been so far though, eh? Never short on drama. 😆
