I had the same thought during both the Chelsea and Arsenal matches, but this last one especially, that for all the other team possessed the ball, they really turned it into NOTHING. Normally that kind of sustained pressure gives me the yips but Spurs have defended lately with such a confident assertiveness, it hardly feels like the same team. Dier and Toby with PEH in front of them is such a solid defensive structure, and for all his shortcomings, Sissoko’s defensive work rate is incredibly important. Love the boys.
I know! I'd love a free-flowing assault every match, but something about the squad working like they do and trusting each other to defend like this has warmed my cynical, spiteful heart
