Still there remain some in the fanbase who appear to be in the wrong movie theater, as I suggested in this week’s Keep It Tottenham Podcast; those who aren’t excited by the intelligence of Spurs’ play under Mourinho. Here we have Mahrez, a notoriously tricky customer, being closed down by two of our lot, and who is bringing the ball out? Steven Bergwijn – a midfielder, ably assisted by Harry Kane – our striker.
Harry Kane is looking to me, by the way, like a man in a far better place mentally, working with José. Gone is the seemingly endless series of fruitless runs into the attacking third, and instead we now have this rather smart, forward thinking player with a licence to roam.
What would the naysayers have preferred? Mahrez to cross the ball, so that we might hoof it to Harry, whose been waiting on the halfway line, with his hands on his hips? This Spurs side is exciting to watch, even when behind the ball. Maybe the screen next door is showing Police Academy 5?
