Spurs (H) | PL | Post Match Thread

[burning blue soul]

We won't win the league this year. Part due to our lack of intensity and concentration, and part due to the pl not allowing it.
I would like to say the fix is in, but we are shooting our own feet and helping the pl do their job for them.

 

[paulsimpson]

Shocking reffing at the end but our defence currently Is shocking and ultimately costing us games.

That's irrelevant when officials are not doing their jobs

 

[Zenmanc]

On the refs call at the end Haaland sprung up immediately... the play was clearly on no one asking for a foul stoppage. Ive seen dozens of plays this month where much more contact resulted in playing on. I can't see an excuse.

That said and even if Jack had scored we were outplayed today and that's where the majority of any blame should lie. Players look stale, tired and second.

 

[BoyBlue_1985]

Ref was bad but can’t take away from yet another poor performance. Was told on here gvardiol was generational he looks no better than ake imo. Missing gundo and mahrez hugely

Not missing Mahrez by any stretch unless he is suddenly Cannavaro

 

[Vester]

The ref obviously suck, but god we are awful and cant defend. We should be able to beat an mediocre Spurs in awful form, missing every CB they have in the team, with or without a good ref. Remember those seasons when we could actually beat teams that aren't bottom of the table? Now we drop points as soon as we play anyone half decent. Its simply not good enough, today either. And yes, I know we won a treble last year but since I'm not a rag I care more about the present than history.

 

[DavidWhitesUnderpants]

Bag of shite.

Easy to get pissed off at the ref and all that, but harder to admit that we once again did it to ourselves. Erling was fucking abysmal. Should have finished that game at least 5-3, and that's being conservative. Probably should have had 6 or 7. Bollocks.

 

[Damanino]

our defending vs Chelsea and today vs a depleted shit Spurs is disgrace. Pep should be minding this kind of defending rather than talking about fans coming to the game , period.

throwing away three big games costing us total of 6 points, absolute shit. if we lose the title, here is the reason why.

should be 3-4 goals ahead first half, missed everything.

second half was very bad, hardly any control, any good attacks completely let Spurs stay in the game.

last minute ref decision disgrace hope Pep can mention it in the media and ask for explanation and Webb for an apology. how can he not give the advantage there? you dont see that stopped if Salah or Saka jumps out there with a chance.

very disappointed after all Chelsea, Pool and this game. 9 points was on the plate and we got 3.

 

[Bald fraud]

that bald bent **** has a lot to answer for there. grealish in one on one & he didn’t play advantage. fuming isn’t the word

He did play advantage! Saw jack was through on goal then blew!

 

[ray21]

That was as bent as fuck, as soon as Jack was through VAR told the ref to blow his whistle.

 

[Beanhead]

That final decision has made me as mad as the Rashford offside one. At least with that one the rule book could (very loosely) be applied. Today was pure incompetence. I’m absolutely furious.

 

[EdersonsSmiley]

FUCK TOTTENHAM HOTSPURS.

What god did they sacrifice to for them to get the most jammy calls, clinical finishing and shit refereeing decisions against us every single fucking game for the last 5 years!

 

[WorthlessPoster]

Not one for conspiracy theories, but...the refereeing in our matches...Of course, we had enough chances to win today, but still.

 

[geek24601]

3 points behind now and playing like we are we ain’t beating Villa on Wednesday. Pathetic from the team last few weeks.

 

[SouthernPlastic]

Penalty not given. Akanji held back on the shoulder and VAR doesn't "see" it ..

That was soft as fuck. Our own fault we didn’t win that.

 

[garyCTID]

fans will come on here now and slag off the ref for his cock up. Yes he did make a ridiculous mistake. Is that why we didn’t win? Is it hell. We were fucking garbage and deserved fuck all. Worst performance, especially the second half, I’ve ever seen. That was beyond crap. Can’t beat a very mediocre Spurs team that are decimated by injuries.

 

[No1 was Colin bell]

Ffs what’s happened to best defence in Europe and seeing games out brilliantly. Ref an embarrassment obviously but this run is so frustrating. Need Kev and John Stones back asap. Bench looked light today.

 

[BlueAnorak]

Fucking shit defending (and goalkeeping to be fair).
I really don't know what has happened to City since the Utd game.

 

[Eoiyflem]

The reality is, by this time next week we could/will be in a battle for top 4 instead of the league.

Defence is a fucking disgrace at the moment

 

[bluenova]

We should have comfortably won that game.

That has to be one of the worst refereeing mistakes I've seen at the end though. I can only assume he thought Grealish was offside when he blew for the foul.

If only he had some kind of assistant who was responsible for deciding if anyone was offside.

 

[argyle]

Ref was bent but all our own fault.

Some players doing barely the minimum and think turning up is all that's needed.

Without KDB, Haaland has no service and the midfield and defence are all over the place.
