Tel was targeted after firing wide in the shootout, and Spurs backed him amid abuse online.

As Poch once said, “The process asks for patience, not excuses.”
On tactics we worship controlled chaos with pressing structures and wide angled runs.
Patterns of play arrive as a poem, and we try to solve it on the fly.
Rivals loom large with Chelsea flickering in the corner and Arsenal enduring in memory.
Yet the ledger shows Spurs better on paper and the pitch writes a harsher verdict.
There will always be a jab thrown from the shadows of this story.
Thus the night ends with questions and a quiet ache that follows every fan.
TLDR
