That was an interesting first half, been second best all over the pitch and are extremely lucky to go in level. If back up players like Nunes and Philips are not going to get a game when KDB and Rodri are missing, with Pep favouring a CB and a RB, you really have to question whoever sanctioned...

I really don’t understand this starting 11. We’ve got one of the best CBs in the league playing midfield alongside a young RB, whilst there’s a combined £80+ million pair of central midfielders on the bench.

It’s a huge tool to have at their disposal to be fair. Still helps when they regularly get shit loads of added on time though.

The ref has had an absolute mare at the end there. Focusing on that decision is just papering over the cracks though. Once again we have failed to win a big game. Once again we have conceded a late goal. Once again we’ve failed to take our chances and paid the price for it. This is what...

Fully deserved for Spurs. Our performances in the big games this season are reminiscent of Pellegrini’s final year.

I’d struggle to give Dias, Akanji and Rodri anymore than a 3/10 in that half. That Rodri performance was as bad as Javi Garcia at his worst for us. Utterly shite. However, he looks fucked and has been run into the ground over the past two seasons. That said, as bad as that defensive...

I don’t think we’ve played particularly well in any of the big games this season. Certainly not by the usual standards we’ve set. We need to stop conceding late goals as well. It’s happened against Arsenal x2, Chelsea and Liverpool now. I think it’s become a serious problem now as opposed to...

We’ve got even bigger problems then if we can’t stop our players from choosing Chelsea over us then haven’t we? The reality is that Sancho, Palmer and Lavia have all left because there was a better pathway elsewhere. It happens in football, some players will always get away. What is worrying...

Still don’t think we’ve dropped a clanger but watching him play inside for Chelsea, I don’t see what Nunes offers over him at all. That’s £100 million spent on Philips and Nunes when we had Lavia and Palmer in the academy who are better players. Questions need to be asked if we’re spending...

I don’t really get the hype around this lad if I’m honest. Don’t get me wrong, he’s a good defender, but this talk of him being the best young defender in the world I just don’t see. Certainly not an upgrade on Laporte as things stand.

That’s two late goals conceded against Arsenal and Chelsea away. Need to sort that shit out if we’re going to have a successful season. I thought Chelsea were outstanding this evening but not really surprising when you consider what they’ve spent. They’ve got a top manager and will be a threat...

It’s amazing how these rules seem to be put in place when it effects the top 4. No one gave a shite when Watford were loaning players from a side their owner owned. Even more blatant is the owner sponsorship. I didn’t hear a peep from anyone about Mike Ashley sponsoring Newcastle when he...

He’s extremely raw but there’s obvious talent there. If he can develop his end product then there is no reason why he cannot hold down a regular spot in this team.

I don’t think we dropped a clanger by any means. We got an excellent fee for a highly rated prospect. That said, no one should be surprised if Palmer goes on to be an England regular soon enough. Pep doesn’t get much wrong but I think he handled the Palmer situation badly. It’s easy to have a...

We’ve been noticeably weaker in the second half of games recently. Hope we can kick on this half but I’m not confident of us doing so.

Story of his season so far. Scored a goal but missed two sitters.

Pretty sure that goal would stand in the PL.

He really needs to up his game as the arrival of Doku has done him no favours. I’m a huge fan of Jack but watching Doku is a breath of fresh air in comparison. Doku takes risks, beats his man and is a menace. Grealish on the other hand does nothing than play it safe. Pep and City may have...

Working out this added on time scenario is far more confusing than it should actually be. “4 minutes was displayed prior to the stoppage” - this means the game should end on 94 mins. “An injury took 4 minutes to resolve” - this means the match restarts on the 94th minute. There are still 4...

The only issue I have with the Akanji sending off is the inconsistency in the application of the rules. Fuck knows how many times Doku was fouled in a similar manner without a yellow being brandished. Their CB went in late on Stones which was a far worse foul than any committed by Akanji and...
