And just worked hard, made it real difficult for Tottenham to pick up, you know, get any rhythm and play how they normally do.
But, yeah, a real strong performance in the second half.
Difficulty to play against.
Your thoughts on that?
That's a real good header.
But he's clever because he stands in between Harry Kane and Vertonghen.
And he knows the ball comes in that area, he's going to attack it.
But you see it here.
But it's a real good header.
Yeah, well, naturally, they drop anyway.
But I suppose for a forward...
If it's higher, then you do approach it and think, well, there's spaces where you can sort of get in between, like Troy did for the goal.
I don't know, it's a strange one.
Obviously, I'm not a centre-half, but I suppose if it's wide free kicks, and we saw there, they had a wide free kick and Tottenham were quite high.
too high in fact and uh maybe i don't know further distance from the goal um and they the defenders probably feel like if they if it comes in they're sort of like they're running backwards but the the the attacking players are here and they can make first contact but um i think you can be too high when you're that high instinctively you're going to want to drop
I think he saw it late.
He didn't even really jump.
Just sort of like...
No, danger, to be honest.
Even when Dele sort of, like, lifted it back in, there was... For me, it doesn't really need to come, as well as... It doesn't really need to come there.
