Billed far and wide across the media as a fire-fighter upon his arrival, Tudor has proved quite the opposite, taking no time at all to torch his own reputation as a coach and leader, along with whatever sort of positive relationship he might have fostered with Tottenham's players and fans.
Yes, the big, lumbering "last embers of a once-great Polish striker" could have made it 2-2 if he'd converted from 12 yards. And yes, in that hypothetical scenario, the darting young Swede could then have made it 2-3 to the defending LaLiga champions meaning that, just like those who go fishing, we are all entitled to "the one that got away" tall tales that make great telling.
