Premier League 2019-2020 we’re off

[Jensen]

Enjoyed the game today

Even when we went down early there didn’t seem to be much panic and it was a case of when and not if we scored and then went ahead

Fullbacks were superb today and Mane keeps showing why Messi rates him highly 😆 world class player but one player he won’t get any headline is Fabinho - real composure in the middle

As for Spurs - it’s just not right there is it , Alli , Erikson look like they want to be elsewhere - Son looks very frustrated having to play second fiddle to Kane and he is too good for that , Rose has gone backwards so much and as for Aurier 😂😂😂😂 why did they let Trippier leave ?

At least the two CB’s look quality as well as the GK.

I thought Spurs would be safe in CL this year but they need to improve and sort out their issues quickly or they will be nowhere near

I bet you wouldn't of been that confident if Son's attempt had gone in

Glad to come out on top in the worst divers top of the league clash today.

How Mane didnt stay on his feet as Aurier tickled the back of both calves, I'll never know.

Different game if he scores there.
No need to hit it so hard all he needed was on target.

Thought our finishing made the keeper look good at times.
Tactics from spurs were good but wasn’t going to work for 90mins, they played on TAA and got some joy as his defending needs work, but going forward the lads pure class.
Tough game for us but we deserved to win.
Think we still need a Playmaker in the middle for when teams sit back like this.

Spurs played really well last 15 mins so can’t understand sitting back so much.

Quite clearly shows on VAR that he blows on the back of his neck as well!!

Sorry but that’s ignorant and yobbish behaviour whether you are more paying to watch or not.

it’s a tiny minority which proves my point really, decent people just wouldn’t behave like that.

Absolute drivel... Booing someone does not equate to being ignorant or yobbish. Should people just say well done old chap we know your crap but at least you tried incase they hurt his feelings for continuingly underperforming..

Had it been racist or xenophobic chanting then you would have a very valid point, but as for expressing feeling for crap performance you're way off, especially when that large salary is funded by the proceeds the fans put in through game day purchases and more then they're entitled to express feeling. .

Tash, I hate VAR but your goal was offside, Silva touched it and admitted so. You benefitted from a wrong decision.
As for the Rugby, there was a debate they got a decision wrong, the difference is the fact they accept it.

I know we did, but it is still rammel. It is killing the enjoyment of the game. It is wrong for so many reasons

Emery aside, Xhaka aside, poor performance aside, VAR is terrible. If it is supposed to right the wrongs, get the decisions correct, it just doesn't. I thought I would be in favour, I am not.

Ave just seen the arsenal goal overruled with VAR. That is exactly what am on about. 2 mins of complete and utter shoite. It was exactly the same at City yesterday. 2 massively wrong decisions. At least when a ref got it wrong, the game continued. If this crap continues ave bought me last season ticket.

 

[Tashyboy]

You can quite clearly see Silva show the ref where he touched the ball on his boot.
That was before the VAR decision.
So the ref asks var is Sterling offside when Silva deflects the ball “YES.”
“Ok it’s offside” 30 seconds max.

But Var decided Silva didn’t touch the ball ,even though he admitted he did.
That’s why KDB was credited with the goal.

Knobs.

Thing is though the ref is not allowed to inform the VAR panel what Silva actually said. It's got to a stage where you cannot celebrate a goal as you should. City fans let everyone know exactly what there thoughts are on VAR, even though they got a wrong decision.

How did Glendousi not get red for that rugby tackle.

posted about it earlier, kids got a future at 9 for Les Bleus lol. In fairness I think we prob deserved some leeway by the officials by then....

But dosnt the ref have the final say.
If he knows Silva touched it and Sterling is offside he bottled it.
It’s so poor

I don’t.
Someone does that next week he’s off.
Poor from the ref imo.

1st full premiship game I have seen for a long time. i Didn’t realise how poor spurs are. Eriksen, Ali are terrible. No interest and no idea. Losing and bring Mura on with 10 to go and make another change with minutes to go. Thought Spurs were up and coming title contenders. On that showing and what I have read this season Arsenal might win it before them and what I have read about them this past 18 months it won’t happen for a very long time. Am so pleased I have converted to proper football, non league

Don’t start pooing your pants just as the reds are coming good bro 😁

 

[davemc1]

That lpool result didn’t half BRIGHTON up my day...

 

[davemc1]

They have Alli, I just do think it’s setting in...

Never has a guy lived on 1 goal since Gaza’s free kick...

My pants are good lad😜👍

You have to be a cretin to boo, mock and ridicule your own team members as they are subbed off.

It’s ok to look at things differently though so I respect your opinion. If you are happy with that it’s fine but it’s not something I have ever done or will ever likely to do.

Until this weekend around 90 penalties have been checked by VAR this year and each time they have gone with the referees decision.

It seems obvious that VAR don’t want to contradict the referee at all cost. Probably the old guard refs looking after their own.

The VAR concept is sound but the execution sucks.

 

[sawtooth]

FFS.

Can you actually see properly through those red specs?

I’m not talking about the penalty, I’m talking about the dive Mane took on the edge of the box for the free kick. Clearly on his way down before any contact is made.
