After my rather negative post about the same old Spurs, the next week turns out to be a great one. A 3-0 home win against Man City and a 2-0 away win against Blackburn Rovers, 5 goals scored and none conceded, I really couldn’t of asked for better than that. Before the Man City game I wasn’t sure what to expect, after the 1-0 home lose to Wolves and then playing a team who have only lost once all season, it didn’t seem nailed on.
To me though Man City lacked any sort of urgency, they played the ball neatly into feet and found space now and then but never really threatened. Spurs on the other hand tried to move the ball quickly and get Aaron lennon on the ball as much as possible and like many other left backs this season, Sylvinho was given the run around big style. Niko Kranjcar had a great game to, always wanting the ball, making thing’s happen and coming up with 2 goals, the second one being a cracking solo effort from a short corner.
Winning away at Blackburn is a good result as well, they had only lost once there all season and are a really strong aggressive team. But Spurs showed they were no push overs anymore, it wasn’t a pretty game but sometimes that doesn’t matter, as much as I would like Spurs to win pretty all the time, it just doesn’t happen, you need to show the other side of the game every now and then to mix it up and Spurs showed the are more than capable of doing that.
