Spurs (H) Post Match Thread

It’s not football that’s fucked, it’s us.

VAR will not be implemented like that for anyone else this season, same as the offside call.

This is how they will stop us. I am 100% convinced, all they have to do is find anything, literally anything they can call a technical foul on and that’s it.

Wolves had a goal ruled out exactly the same

our finishing is going to stop us this year if it continues like this.

Sorry, but that's bollocks!

Fuck off hockertyponcos on sky, you fucking smug cûnt.

 

[blue moony]

Ruled out a Wolves goal similarly, a Brighton goal today but it's just here to fuck us over.

ON your VAR crusade again I see

Var aside..
I thought Kdb tended to be greedy ,
Gundo off the pace, Mahrez back to his old self , Aguero wasteful.
Tin hat at the ready.

We’ll be shafted more often than not this season.
It’s the selective use of VAR.
You can’t argue with it. You don’t know who you’re arguing with.

The big problem will be how it is used for some teams and not for others.

If the system is bent then technology will only make it easier to screw us.

Sorry, but that's bollocks!

So finishing was good in this match?

 

[FantasyIreland]

Bent as fuck.

2 nailed on penalties not given by VAR and then that.
Welcome to the new era folks. You'll never celebrate another goal spontaneously again.

How Gundogan started and then stayed on for the entire game is utterly remarkable.

I thought Gundigan had one of his better games,he's slow as shit but that's not his strength.

Genuine question: how was he poor in that match?

We had 30 shots, 10 on target, some of the off target ones completely down to the player fluffing his chance. He bossed midfield with a walkabout partner in Ilkay and a not-yet-fit Kev jogging about in front of them (although they he was generally excellent going forward). He’s passing was metronomic and he had a few counter-stopping tackles/interceptions. He even brought a save out of Lloris.

What else is he meant to do?

I agree with some of the things you just posted, the passing was brilliant and his aerial presence was superb but the defensive work and his pace was lacking. I believe he would get used to the PL with time but right now his inclusion in the first team seems a bit rushed, especially against a high pressing team like spurs.

Brilliant delivery KDB, regulation for him, and Sterling headed it nicely into the side netting. Bernardo to my motm Kevin again to put it on a plate for Sergio. Great moment Rodri took the ball so cleanly from behind, been very impressed with Walker lately, good to see Sergio and Pep hug, we looked a different class the whole game. I was a big fan of VAR but was pretty sure they'd still try to screw us. So far we've got using the most detrimental frame for our offsides and the video ref just ignoring penalties for us. And this handball rule is absolutely ridiculous, yet never saw a replay of the other one for us. I can only hope certain other teams will face the same interpretation of the rules, or we'll just have to score every chance we get.
