Observations at ht.

Weve done well against a good spurs side, they look a slicker version of us which you would expect.

Attacking wise we have good possession yet look at lot less of a threat around box.

This formation looks our most comfortable to date. 

We still lack a threatening attacking player amongst all the positives.

Kane just grabs goals from nothing. He does it a lot for Tottenham. He wins them games from half chances. That's the difference between us and them. I don't think they're that much better than us elsewhere.

It's been an entertaining game, and we've played well. It was a lucky goal (but if Vardy had scored it I'd have said it was genius).. I've had to turn the commentary off though.

WHat has happened to Youri, not sharp, passes are not incisive, clumsy. 

He's been ok. I think the bigger problem is that he's not great defensively - he's quite slow and not a great tackler - so he needs to really offer a great return in other areas, which he isn't quite at the moment.

 

On the whole, I think we've played quite well though. 50/50 game, undone by a moment of quality. Spurs maybe edged it, but really could've gone iether way.

Just can't agree with this at all. He's had a decent game. 

Looks our most likely goal scorer

Slightly surprised to hear the boos ringing out at half time 

It seems a bit early for that to be fair

To the ref?

[SecretPro]

People in here honestly believe that spurs players tripping over blades of grass 5 yards from the nearest city player is fine from the ref? ****ing idiots. 

[Fightforever]

We've got get used to refs being against us now because it's starting to be a reoccuring theme.

Thinks Barnes and Ayoze should swap flanks at the start of the second half  

I thought Perez was excellent where he was in that half.  Active and consistently dangerous.

[Arkie Bennett]

Definitely short-changed over the added time. The VAR, Kane taking at least 45 seconds to be ready to play after the goal, Rose dying more than twice, Sissoko's foul on Maddison, must have added at least 5 minutes. Timewasting pays.

I'm not sure we've got 3 goals in us have we? 

Dunno.  Ask Bournemouth?

You look cooler if you just blame our players for everything

The way Sherwood says Soyuncu makes it sound like he's Korean.

It’s for the referee and not aimed at the players. If you catch someone in the stands flipping off the ref with a middle finger it’s me!!!

[That_Dude]

It's all part of the plan, we'll give them a two goals lead and then let them bottle it.

Perez with the worst half of football I’ve seen since Bakayoko vs Derby in the cup

Think he's been one of our better players. 

 

We started well but the goal took the wind out of our sales. 

 

Harvey started well then disappeared, hopefully he'll be back out attacking the box in the second half.

 

Defensively we aren't as good as we have been but at least we've been up in their third a lot.

 

Maddison has been our top player but we need goals and that's still our problem. Where are the goals coming from?

He's too good for Spurs - he deserves to be somewhere where he can actually win something

[Jobyfox]

I’m in the ground.

 

Just to say that the boos were definitely for the ref. Not for the VAR and Kane’s goal, but the rising frustration that they get a free kick every time they fall over.

 

Don't know whether it looks the same on the telly!

Just how spurs do it 

[CloudFox]

That Kane goal is gutting, but it was an incredible finish.

 

Otherwise I think we've played pretty well, and really exciting at times. Barnes looks on the cusp of something brilliant, he and Chilwell are finally linking up and we're creating chances - just not clear cut enough.

 

Perez losing the ball as often as he does is a shame, but he's putting a hell of a shift in.

[RumbleFox]

What a fvcking "Kane goal" that was. Hate him but he's a goal machine. Decent from us overall. X

We aren’t going to be good defensively, we aren’t set up defensively.

Ndidi is having to do the work of two players.

[LCFCSOULBOY]

The commentators are all creaming over Kane's goal. If you look at it carefully it hits his foot as he is landing. Got sodding lucky. Agree you make your own luck but...come on

[Master Fox]

We’re not anywhere near as good as we think we are.

Depends who you ask, some morons on this forum think the refs having a great day. 

[CloudFox]

Did anyone catch what Kaspar was saying to the ref as they came off? He was fuming!

 

"Then why do you keep giving them then?!" was all I heard from him
