The way that they press them, they stop them playing from goal kicks, because that's what Tottenham want to do.
They want to play out from the back.
If you close the two centre-backs, they'll play to your full-backs.
And Bournemouth stopped them doing it.
They stopped them all over the pitch.
They pressed them high.
And that's very difficult.
If you look at the stats, Tottenham run more than anybody else.
They tackle more than anybody else.
And in the end, they eventually win out because of that.
And Bournemouth matched them today.
Not many teams can say that.
Man City tried a few weeks ago, couldn't get near this Tottenham team.
But Bournemouth did.
And as Tim rightly said, Tottenham weren't at their best, but they still did some good things as well.
I think it was a great performance.
Absolutely, yeah.
I mean, you look at those games coming up.
Middlesbrough in a little bit of a rut at the moment.
They're not playing very well.
