Same Shape, Same Punishment

This wasn’t a derby. Not really. A derby needs fight, edge, and moments where you feel the shirt means something.

What Tottenham found

  • Gaps between our lines that might as well have been invitations.
  • A midfield that didn’t protect the back line.
  • Wing-backs pinned and centre-backs dragged into places they don’t want to be.

We didn’t lose because Spurs are Spurs. We lost because we made ourselves easy.

Final thought: If we’re going to suffer, at least suffer fighting. Not waiting.
