We just couldn't deal with their high pressing and ours has been down the hill. If you look back, this is how we were at some points against Boro last week. It looks like something is not clicking anymore, the thing is, we still have average players in certain positions, that had been shining in a system that worked on their strengths and limited their weakness, but if one thing is not working finely, we are exposed, not because of the system or because of the opposition, simply because we have some average players.
I don't think Mauricio did anything extraordinary there. He played the way we were playing before the international break. We made their job easier because we aren't sharp as we were - which is even acceptable because no team is at the very top the whole time. Spurs are exploring our weaknesses, but I'm very confident we will win. I really want to see if they can keep that high pressing up for the whole 90 minutes.
This out-of-nowhere-goal gave us new life and it was like a cold shower for them. I think we have the edge emotional edge now and that might influence on their endurance to keep that high pressing - which must be praised, they were perfect in their pressing
