I thought West Ham looked the better side but if it had finished 0-0 no one could’ve complained.

Defo agree with the 0-0

The subs changed the game with our attacking 3 change really gave more a cutting edge

Im really impressed with our defending in a back 4 past 2 games

When you consider that we have played 3 games in 6 days and Everton last played 6 days ago.They are the team in form too.I was expecting us to get done by 3 or 4 today,because of tiredness.

Take 3 points away from home anytime, especially that far up the motorway. We normally give up once the bus goes past watford. Shame we never went for the jugular against Brighton.

Fully agree

Our players have worked hard over the Xmas period. 5 points in 3 games is remarkable with the level of rotation

Everton got lucky with the extra rest but I'm glad we matched it

Matched what? We were lethargic, slow, turning back on ourselves. We never made yous work, it looked like we’d played the extra game.
 
card numbers been getting lower and lower last few weeks, am sure theyre under orders to reduce the amount theres been

theres your 3rd ;)

He must’ve cashed out because there should’ve been at least 3 from the 2nd to the 3rd ?
 
Good first half for us there. Leeds knocking the ball about without threatening, then give it away twice and we get a goal each time. Second half could go either way though with us.

I'm sick of Bergwijn being awful in front of goal. He missed an absolute sitter in that half. Just keep it down and he probably scores, absolutely skies it. He needs to have a look at Son's finishing and learn something.

Lucky first half ?

That was never a pen. It was outside the box. And there should have been a free kick to Leeds in the build up to the very good second goal.

VAR Useless again.

There's a rule that says it contact starts outside but continues into the box, then it's a penalty. I imagine they went with that. (Don't know why the idiot Walton didn't suggest that at half time though.) Or, it was close enough to the line that they didn't feel it was clear and obvious to change the ref's decision. It was very borderline and I wouldn't have complained if it was given as a free kick instead.

Not sure about the free kick to Leeds, I didn't see that. I hope you don't mean Hojbjerg dumping that feller on his backside to win the ball because that was a proper challenge. ??
 
What the heck is going on with VAR - there appears to be a shift recently - they used to spend ages on the decision , spend as long as possible on Offsides and then send the ref to the screen for clear decisions thah were wrong but now - offsides you don’t see the lines , refs have stopped going to the screen and taking seconds on close calls

That penalty for Man Utd - it took one long to see that Pogba both kicked the back of the defenders leg and then tripped himself up - yet they didn’t even send him back to the screen where he could have seen for himself - that’s the exact reason why they brought in VAR. You can see why the ref gave it but how they couldn’t see it wasn’t a penalty I’ll never know.

Differences of opinions from different people is why decisions like that are still being made. I think it was a penalty for the challenge on Pogba. Contact from the defender on to Pogba's left foot caused him to trip himself up. Therefore it's a penalty in my opinion.

The contact on the left foot was Pogba kicking the back of the defenders leg ?


Also seen another video where Pogba was telling Shaw to dive

I'm not interested in getting into a debate with you about it. I think it was a penalty, you don't, that's fine. I was simply pointing out that differences of opinion lead to decisions being made that you disagree with. Nothing further to discuss.
 
A rare comfortable win for Spurs in the end. In fairness, for the last several years we've always done better against open teams than the ones who sit back. Like Bournemouth for example. I think Leeds are like the new Bournemouth in many ways.

Because it was a penalty?
