I was sat there doing my blood pressure just as the goal went in, and then the numbers came back completely way up.
Arguably not the top line from the game, but that's the thing that happened in my life.
No, listen, I can't make up my mind about this because this is one of those that could go either way.
If Spurs stay up, we will look back at the Kinski save as the moment that kept them in the league.
Yeah.
And if they don't, then clearly this is a missed opportunity.
Because I think in the first half, the first hour, half hour at least, this was not a good game.
They were not playing very well.
But they were, broadly speaking, under control.
Leeds weren't creating anything.
And Spurs were creating little looks that you kind of feel confident someone's going to turn into a goal at some point.
And I was sat there thinking...
This is the exact game that I was afraid Roberto de Zerbi maybe couldn't orchestrate.
I was worried when he came in, he would try to do all this sort of baiting the press and tidy passing through the middle with Paulinho and the boys and that this would be a total disaster.
But what he has done, he has gotten them a little bit tighter organized.
He has worked on their mentality.
They're more aggressive and they were able to turn it into quite a bad game.
They were not able to really press Leeds high very effectively because Leeds were very direct.
So the thing that's been really working for them the last couple of games wasn't as effective here.
But he turned it into a slightly boring game, which I thought was, broadly speaking, good.
