The Swans can though take some positives from the game thanks to their display after they went a goal down and there are definitely lessons to be learned from the game and quite possibly a clear indication of what is our strongest line up.<\/p>\n
So what were both sides saying after the game this afternoon?<\/p>\n
Tottenham Manager Andre Villas Boas<\/b><\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153At the moment, these are excellent signs, signs of a team that is mature and knows what to do to gain the right result<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153You never know what can happen in the future but at the moment we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re showing a winning mentality and that\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s helping us to get results. It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a good start.<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153We deserved to win, created lots of chances, were sound defensively and that\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s why we had so much of the ball against a team that normally dominates other teams.<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Our shape was tremendous, Capoue protecting and Paulinho\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s workrate was immense. I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m really happy with the performance.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/i><\/p>\n
Swans boss Michael Laudrup<\/b><\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153When there\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a situation in the box, when it is given or not given, we know the referee has to make that decision in one second when we can look many times after the game<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153But when you play against a team like Tottenham, and you accept they will have a few chances, then they get a penalty that wasn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t a penalty.<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153They had a couple of big chances in the last 15 minutes of the first half and there was a great save from Michel Vorm, but apart from that there was nothing. There was a free-kick given outside the box that maybe should have been a penalty but the penalty was not a penalty. I don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t want to say it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s frustrating, you have to accept it. You can always discuss the penalty but it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s given and they scored and they won.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
