Lamela should have been off for that foul after already being booked. It would have made for a good finish to the game. Additions were poor and spurs were lucky that the game wasn't abandoned.
The commentator was sickeningly spurs biased. I understand that it was the same in 2016 for Leicester but this year spurs are the media darlings.
For the Spurs fans here how long do you think it will take the spurs supporters to turn on the team if they don't win anything? Football (and its fans) have become crazy with regards to the need for trophies. I'd have thought that a top 4 and CL spot will be good enough for Spurs supporters this season but do you think a 5th or 6th next season and no Cup trophy will result in the Chelsea/Manure scenarios? Same question for Liverpool fans really.
They are the 2 of the "big 6" who haven't won anything recently and their fans expectations are becoming onerous. Personally I think spurs have been doing exceptionally well and should be delighted with top 4 and QFs in the CL but I wonder if you think the worm could turn next season or whether Spurs fans are above that.
That game was ridiculous though. Almost an advertisement for not having VAR. The game is done and dusted 30 min without those calls and delays were way too long.
I don't think Spurs supporters would ever turn on the current team unless they lose someone like Kane or Poch or multiple top for stupid reasons. Most spurs fans are generally are pretty level headed in terms of what we want the team to do. The whole trophies thing is media/other fan driven trash that they keep throwing out there to downgrade the accomplishments of individual players and the team as a whole. Considering where the team was 2 years ago and the fact that we aren't blowing 50+M on multiple players but are at this level of success has most fans ecstatic. The trophies will come, the luck in terms of getting them will eventually come through.
That's good.
The trophies may not come. This year may be as good as it gets, but your team is playing some great attacking football and you need to enjoy it for as long as it lasts.
