First half we were great. A lot of it I think was to do with spurs setting up poorly and allowing us to be good but can only play against what's infront of you.

I liked the quicker attack, It's certainly the way forward. Second half several of our players got lazy, they weren't as shit as they were first half and we were poor in our gameplan, should have gone for it to kill the game.

Disappointing second half but that's a really good result overall. If we can somehow get a result against forest next week, were well set for top 4/5 and could even have a late run at second.

Apart from the obvious fuck up by the ref and the fuck up by the linesman for the Doku offside. How the fuck were they allowed to kick Foden all over the pitch.

btw fuck didlo levy

What a joke when Akanji said he will help Kusa settle down. It is the opposite.

Players are physically unfit it's so obvious.

Complete overhaul of our coaching and medical staff are heeded. Unfit, cannot defend, cannot finish, cannot take or defend set pieces

 

[eyalluvitt]

No conclusive evidence that it wasn't handball....apart from the multiple replays/angles don't show handball (below the shirt line). Is that not evidence?

Plus spurs are allowed to use their arm possibly twice. I'm not saying it's a pen it's just fuckin stupid

Handball by both defenders if anything, they are killing the game

Ridiculous comment

I think he meant 4 in total

Ridiculous comment

I think we do need 4 wide men in the squad, but agree with you about 65 mins.

Doku was dangerous for 90 mins, Savinho was a weakness for 90 mins.

 

[BuryBlue1977]

Why didn't VAR tell him there was no Haaland handball?

I don't understand.

 

[Utter bobbins]

In the second half we were shit. But the first half was not bad, we should have scored three goals there.

We weren’t shit Spurs upped their game

Ridiculous comment

He's like Burger King; he comes out with some whoppers.

 

[Mike N]

No reason to disallow the goal.

If the ref blew for any handball it should have been a pen as the Spurs players handled it first. Var could t tell conclusively whether Erling handled the ball so how the fuck could the referee ? Bent as fuck.

The rules changed a few years ago. Ironically between the seasons we lost 2 spurs twice in the champions league. I am sure someone more knowledgeable will correct me but it has to have intent from a defending point of view to be handball where as scoring a goal intent is not required for it to be handball.

Khusanov is making a defender out of Nunes :)

Rather Nunes than Lewis there. Not the long term solution obviously but our best option seen as we have zero full backs at the club currently

Fixtures looking a lot easier now on paper, at least after Forest away. Must say that we’ve come through this period better than I thought. Losing to Arsenal, Real and Pool was always gonna happen and I hadn’t expected us to take 9p from Chelsea, Newcastle and Spurs. Secure top 4, win the FA cup and the 115 and I’ll be a very happy man

Var shouldve given a handball pen against spurs.

Also still want a replay of that doku offsides

That offside was fucking bollocks.
All season we've had these dickhead linesman playing on for fuck all then a really close call and the flag goes up.

They don't know what they are doing.

Savinho seriously wasn’t

Let's talk about handball. I thought Haaland hand balled it, pretty sure the ref blew for Haaland handball and it clearly showed the Spurs player handballed it. Then there was a second handball incident, which was inconclusive; but I am pretty sure the whistle was for the first. Discuss......

I think the ref blew for what he saw as a handball, the first instance. How he could see it at all I have no idea.

VAR took a look, and as far as I could tell from the commentary, they told the ref they could see no evidence to overturn his decision. VAR of course looked at both instances, and in neither of those I could see no obvious handball.

You'd have needed to see from above IMHO whether there was a handball because everything is moving toward the only camera that shows the incident well.

What I think is not obvious is whether VAR knew the ref had blown for handball. I think they believed he'd given the goal, and told him no clear reason to overturn that.

 

[half & half derby scarf]

Would like to see the Doku offside. First glance looked an even crazier decision than the var debacle at the end.

 

[Mancity1980]

Huge 3 points that’s all right now
Awful 2nd half

Somebody please explain how that’s not a goal ????????

The attacking team was not an official red cartel club, come on pal, it’s clearly implied in the unwritten FA rules.
