Winning ugly, but it was far from it



What is that phrase, you have to know how to win ugly.

Dortmund were a real danger going forward and completed 643 passes during the game. That is the most conceded by any Pochettino selected Spurs side.

Just once in the Premier League under Mauricio Pochettino have Tottenham had less than 45% possession and that ended in a 2-0 victory over Manchester City. Against the powerful Germans Borussia Dortmund, currently leading the Bundesliga, Tottenham only had 37% possession. The UEFA Champions League tie ended with us winning 3-1 at Wembley.

Those grown adults believing in a curse were shown to be what they are, plain daft, while Tottenham showed once again versatile tactics under Pochettino. The Argentinian had us soak up pressure and hit them on the break, so much for the need for a pacey winger, the be-all-and-end-all according to some fans.

Pace may have helped us score more, but pace without finishing ability isn't worth much, mind you Son Heung-min should have scored more, despite an excellent performance from him once again. In today's market he must be worth at least twice what we paid for him if not three times. Any enquiries would surely be met with not for sale or an absolute minimum of £50m.
