Spurs 2-0 A Post Match Thread

That’s true Cardiff, but it was also Jose’s plan to give us possession and draw us on to set up the counter attack. I was more pleased with our tactical discipline, never over committing.

Normally though we make an error and find ourselves caught short. Today we got the balance bang on.

If you have a look they measured the offside with Auriers right foot.. what a farce 

 

 

It also seems to be implying Maddison's body is at a 45 degree angle to the ground. Look at the Spurs defender at the top too there is no way they are running at that angle. You'd fall over. There is also no way to take into account if they are leaning forwards. That line is only there if Maddison's shoulder is aligned with his standing foot. He is running his weight and body will be forwards and his shoulder almost definitely further forwards than his foot.

 

It really is a crap system. I've tried my best to defend it. I'm happy with 1 mm being offside but only if you can accurately measure to one mm and do so quickly and consistently. Having someone actually draw lines on the screen is never going to be accurate or consistent. Why on earth did they chose to put the camera at that angle ???

An attempt that involved giving us a penalty. Tricky buggers. 

 

Instead of spouting this cobblers, wouldn't you and your fellow sad conspiracists who plague every match thread be better off asking why you need it to make you feel better? 

Let's face it. They didn't give us a penalty. It had to be reviewed on VAR and there was no way they couldn't over turn it.

 

I don't genuinely believe there's a conspiracy,  what i believe is that certain teams are hugely favoured within the set up on the Premier League which gives them an advantage. 

 

It's nearly Christmas, treat yourself to a drink, loosen up and stop getting upset on a forum. Bless you.

That wasn’t a scrappy win as such but it was a case of us ‘doing a job’ on them.

Mourinho can’t talk one bit though. Pot kettle black.

We are better player for player than them, when we have our first team out. So in a tight game we’ll win. Maybe if you came out less negative and press us Jose you might of had more joy. He hoped we would attack and catch us on the counter. They only really did have moments when we made errors.

Ndidi and Justin were absolutely fantastic. Tielemens, Evans, Castange and Albrighton were brilliant. No one had a bad game. A proper team performance.

 

Kasper 7

Albrighton 8

Fofana 7

Evans 8

Justin 9

Castange 8

Tielemans 8

Ndidi 10

Madders 7

Barnes 7

Vardy 8

Did you watch  the game ? ...   we were better full stop ..   all over the park.

I get you, but do you you think we would have been better if we switched maddison and vardy for Kane and Son, just as a thought experiment. 

I thought Kane had some really good moments... to be fair

That is a rather pointless hypothetical, sir.

Bitter looser! He said his team were better against Liverpool last week 😂. To be fair he is a master at deflecting away from the truth.

Someone showed Pipes an image of the VAR lines and he asked if it was a joke. Sounds like he’s not happy with the decision and the frame they used to judge.

I totally agree, It was a joke to disallow Maddisons goal. If you look at the Feet Celco clearly played him onside, But Maddisons Shoulder was just ahead of Alderweirld by the thickness of his shirt material. 

I thought the intention was to allow more goals in these very tight decisions.

[Detroit Blues]

We were a lot more physical today. We fouled them early and often 

 

That said, we were smart when to pick up yellow cards for cynical challenges, like Albrighton leaving a high leg for Harry Kane.

 

I felt like that was missing from our game against Everton. Hopefully we will keep that tenacity going against United.

Wouldn’t even put that as the case. Just Pawson is a genuinely shite referee

This morning I was resigned to losing so I didn’t give too much thought to the game, went for a walk near fosse park, went to the tip because it’s Sunday... then Vardy scored so I had a cheeky little bottle of beer, then we scored again... and then we won so I returned to the fridge a few times and now I’ve found myself half cut, standing in the freezing cold clapping 250 tractors going driving through my village with Christmas lights on! 
 

not sure if anyone else in south Leicestershire has had a similar day 😂

Arsenal will almost certainly sack Arteta tomorrow, which could be bad news for City.

I don't like that ... I despise Everton for playing like that ... and the foul of Abrighton, for a second I was afraid he would get a red, because it was a weird one, but all good int he end. Anyway, we should not take Everton as an example to follow, they don't seem to care much about fair play or they bend one they perceive as fair play. For example I remember the position were DC is throwing back to N Didi to get a panalty ... he does that often ... for me that is unfair play

Which City's that?

[Plastik Man]

A great team performance.

 

The return of Ndidi, who was immense, Castagne, and Ndidi certainly makes us a much taller, more physical side.

 

I thought our defence weren't unduly stretched today.

 

I think it's clear Maddison should  play in an advanced midfield role. It's where his class really shows. We need him there creating and scoring plenty of goals. His talents are wasted playing too deep where he can only move the ball on, or get out muscled.  

 

The one thing I think we need to improve on is to be more ruthless. We had a number of openings today where we selected the wrong option. If we'd been more clinical the game would've been over sooner.

Clever management though isn't it? Takes all the focus away from his players and our victory, and focuses it all on him!

Hahaha some pundits I swear..... 

It won't be what people want to hear, but they're scoring for fun, have a game-winning cheat in Fernandes and have a game in hand which is likely to leave them just two behind Liverpool.

 

Crap defense aside, they're being massively underestimated, just like they were last season when they ended up ruining our party. Let's see what happens when we play them, because we seemed to use up 50 years worth of goodwill from the football gods with our famous 5-3.

hmm, maybe I am wrong, but I don't remember one good offensive move that we should have scored but missed, we were not good in front of the their gaol ... they had a couple. 

Maddison and Tielemans to name two. Barnes missed a good chance as well.
