They've often started those games like a train. Even against our best sides

Also Spurs completely capitulated after we scored.
They also had a lead to defend at the time. We've seen plenty of matches where 10 men are harder to break down, and so the result isn't always inevitable.
What a shame
In the past we have conceded goals against the run of play or flukes. This was the first time they really came out at us and stopped us from moving the ball, for a very long time.
I don't think we were coming back into it before the sending off, at all. We would have got back into the game eventually because no team can keep that level of pressure up for more than 35 minutes. The question is, would the score have still been 0-1?
Hugely, in fact.
Couldn't quite get clear.
The reason we couldn't string 2 passes together for some of that initial period of the game is that we're a bit **** these days. Could have happened if we were playing Tourquay.
