Are Spurs out of the title race now?

I wasn't aware that they were ever in it.

After this weekend it is clearer than ever that it is just a two horse race.

None of the three London sides have anything even approaching a League winning defence.
 
Just listened to an Arsenal fan who had phoned in to Radio 5 after the game. He claimed that "man for man Arsenal were a better team than Liverpool" and that they would win the league this year. The presenter asked if he'd rather have Socratis/VVD, Leno/Allison or Pepe/Salah. The caller picked the 3 Arsenal players and said he didn't rate VVD and that Salah needed 20 shots in a game to score 2. For a few minutes I thought that maybe Sawtooth had called in.
 
Copy and paste my comments on Kane's dive from last week... What the hell is wrong with him.
Chalk and cheese for me. Last week he was taken out. This one, I'd say he definitely attempted to wait for a clumsy challenge so he could go down. Sokratis did shove him, but not enough contact for a penalty, ref got this one right.

Annoying to let the two goal lead go, but there was always going to be goals at both ends today. Would have taken a draw at the start so I'll take it now as well. Great game for the neutrals I'm sure. Not great for my nerves.

Xhaka is absolutely horrendous. If he didn't have that left boot of his, what level would he be playing at?? We'd probably have never heard of him.
 
Two individual errors cost us a point. Can't give gifts out like that, get punished.

Best part of the day was having a scouse pie. Lovely little surprise that was. Kept that a secret lads. Beautiful stuff.
 
Haha, wow. If you have a debate with Robbie Savage and you come off looking like the maniac then something's seriously wrong. :ROFLMAO:

Depends when you call up to argue for Kane’s latest dive 😬😂

Given we got points away to City and Arsenal you’d think that would imply we are playing well, but I’m worried now.

Something doesn’t seem right with the team , bar Winks we looked sluggish and no cohesion also gave the ball away to much and played to deep in the second half.

Perhaps it is down to Ericsson being unsettled but it shouldn’t be.

It can only get better.
 
So it appears that OGS currently has the worst win ratio of any Man Utd manager ( 18% ?!)and they haven’t won away since Feb ?!

Ole at the wheel

That's the guy I was talking about above. The bit about preferring to have Luiz than VVD is comedy gold. Although I think it's a bit harsh to say he's been sniffing something. He could equally have mental issues. But there's something definitely not right going on in his head if he actually believes that.

I thought Cutrone was a real handful today, I was surprised when he came off.

Both teams played in bursts today, we just had a few more. Both need to step up if we are going to break into the next level.

Poch seemed really excited about the European window closing, as if that will make a huge difference to the squad. At least he played Vertonghen this time!
 
Take that result after 2-0 down, we're making progress as a team when we have the ball now but alas the silly mistakes without it are still there but hopefully we'll continue to improve

are we really making progress though, still heavily reliant on the same 2 guys goals bailing us out. same old issues that havent been addressed, didnt buy a proper centre half and for some reason torreira is below xhaka and doozi in the managers eyes. i struggle to see what weve done on the training pitch to address the defensive issues and positioning, the same idiots (yes xhaka you) are diving in all over the place and weve added another one to the party in Luiz

Ceballos looks decent, Pepe clearly has some raw talent (and so he should at 70m+) yet were still paying Ozil, Mhiki, Mustafi over 650k a week between them to do the sum root of bugger all

Didn’t see the interview,
I don’t buy into the view that we have been unsettled with Ericsson’s position at the club, it’s not helped but not to the extent with the way we have started the season.

Our Squad is Stronger this season we will have players coming back from injury and the break has come at the right time for us, regroup and make a fresh start.
